Dubai driving institutes must install AI monitoring cameras — RTA — implementation ongoing
The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is rolling out an Intelligent Monitoring System (IMS) in all driving school vehicles to monitor instructor and trainee behaviour during lessons. The system tracks compliance with training schedules, routes, and safety standards, and has already increased inspection activity by over 200 per cent during its trial phase.

- What to do
- Driving institutes must install the Intelligent Monitoring System in all training vehicles and ensure instructors and staff understand its operation and compliance requirements. Coordinate with RTA on deployment timeline and technical specifications.
The IMS uses AI-powered smart cameras to monitor instructor and trainee conduct, detect non-compliance (sleeping, eating, distraction), and automatically log training sessions. The system sends alerts for serious breaches and records instances for review. RTA has committed to knowledge-sharing with institutes to support implementation. This aligns with Dubai Government policy to deploy camera and AI systems for operational efficiency.
