Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced the launch of a groundbreaking trackless tram project, a key initiative in its future transport strategy. Unlike traditional trams, this system will operate without fixed rails, using a combination of optical navigation, GPS, and LiDAR to follow precise virtual routes. The AI-powered trams will be capable of detecting obstacles and autonomously adjusting their path, offering a flexible, sustainable, and cost-effective alternative.
This innovative tram will add a new dimension to Dubai's already advanced public transport network, which includes the world-class Dubai Metro and the region's first underground electric tram system. Together, these systems form the backbone of a smart, integrated mobility network that aligns with Dubai's vision for a sustainable, connected, and technology-driven future.
The Director General of the RTA stated that the trackless tram embodies Dubai's ambition to lead in smart and sustainable public transport. He emphasized that the project is part of building an interconnected ecosystem where technology anticipates needs, enhances safety, and delivers a seamless travel experience. This leap forward in mobility is expected to mark a qualitative shift in the transport sector, supporting Dubai's goal of becoming a better, happier, and more sustainable city. Details of the project are set to be announced soon.
