RTA Introduces a Digital System to Revolutionize Driver Education in Dubai

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai has introduced a groundbreaking initiative to modernise and digitise driver training and licensing - the 'Tadreeb' platform. Led by Ahmed Mahboob, CEO of Dubai RTA's Licensing Agency, this innovative system aims to improve governance in line with global best practices.

The 'Tadreeb' platform unifies all driving institutes across the emirate, providing a single, streamlined system for training and qualification processes. With over 3,400 instructors supporting the platform, it currently serves around 250,000 trainees annually, delivering over six million hours of monitored instruction per year.

Each training route is geo-tracked and linked to the central system, ensuring high-quality training and professional drivers. The system's operating costs are lower compared to traditional methods, making it a cost-effective solution for the emirate.

RTA plans to strengthen automated oversight on the 'Tadreeb' platform to meet future mobility needs. This will be achieved through smart dashboards that provide stronger oversight, improving compliance from instructors and contributing to lowering road fatalities among new drivers.

One of the key benefits of the 'Tadreeb' system is reduced waiting times for permits. The platform digitises training, assessments, and trainee data, making the process more efficient and accessible.

To further enhance user experiences, RTA intends to use AI to personalise training on the 'Tadreeb' platform. This will enable the system to tailor instruction to individual needs, providing a more effective and engaging learning experience for trainees.

The 'Tadreeb' platform has earned the Prince Michael International Road Safety Award, recognising its significant contribution to road safety and the promotion of best practices in driver training and licensing. It is also the first unified driver training system accredited by the International Commission for Driver Testing.

With over 3,000 vehicles used in the training provided by 'Tadreeb', the platform enhances safety standards by ensuring that all vehicles are maintained to the highest standards. The system's focus on safety, efficiency, and innovation has made it an invaluable asset to the emirate of Dubai.

In conclusion, the 'Tadreeb' digital platform is a testament to RTA's commitment to modernising and improving driver training and licensing in Dubai. By leveraging technology and data-driven insights, 'Tadreeb' is set to play a crucial role in shaping the future of mobility in the emirate.
