The Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is set to present a range of cutting-edge projects and initiatives at GITEX 2023, commencing on Monday at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

These initiatives are aimed at enhancing public transport, driving efficiency, and maximising customer satisfaction.

Facial recognition for Metro Nol cards

One of the highlights of RTA‘s showcase is a smart gate that allows commuters to pay for public transport fares using facial recognition technology.

This innovative system enables passengers to make payments without tickets, Nol cards, or credit cards. By registering and identifying users and analysing their 3D facial features, the system processes payments directly from their accounts.

This approach simplifies transactions, enhances operational efficiency, and reduces the reliance on cash payments.

Transfer vehicle plate ownership via the RTA Dubai Drive App

RTA is also introducing a service for transferring vehicle number plate ownership through the RTA Dubai Drive app.

This feature simplifies selling procedures by leveraging the digital ID “UAE PASS,” allowing users to complete transactions without visiting RTA service centers. Customers can register within the system using “UAE PASS,” complete the service procedures, and securely sign the sales contract electronically, offering a seamless and convenient experience.
