Dubai RTA rolls out AI robot system to inspect Metro rail tracks

  • 13/06/2025

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has introduced an advanced AI-based robotic solution named ARIIS (Automated Rail Infrastructure Inspection System) to inspect and monitor the Dubai Metro’s rail tracks and related infrastructure.

Equipped with Lidar sensors, 3D cameras, and high-resolution lasers, ARIIS can autonomously navigate the tracks, collect detailed data on alignment, wear, vibrations, and defects without interrupting daily metro operations.

The new system will dramatically reduce inspection time from around 2,400 hours to just 700 hours, boosting operational efficiency by 75%. This initiative aligns with RTA’s commitment to maintaining the Dubai Metro as one of the safest and most advanced urban rail networks in the world.
