ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates - Wednesday, December 11th 2013 [ME NewsWire]
The Directorate of Traffic and Patrols at Abu Dhabi Police set up a pavilion at the Gulf Traffic Exhibition and Conference 2013 held at the Dubai World Trade Centre. A variation of local and international actors in the sector of transport and traffic also participated in the event. It is worth mentioning that the directorate organized the pavilion in coordination with Saeed Company for Traffic Systems and the Saaed Society to Reduce Traffic Accidents. Brigadier Eng. Hussein Ahmed Al Harithi, Director of Traffic and Patrols Directorate at Abu Dhabi Police and Chairman of the Saaed for Traffic Systems, noted that their participation highlights their commitment to promoting cooperation between the agencies responsible for traffic safety, and giving access to the best guidance so that they can use this knowledge to better serve the public and develop an integrated system to manage traffic safety. Furthermore, Brigadier Al Harithi emphasized that the exhibition has gained importance as a result of the high level of participation and the quality of the program, which addressed issues relating to infrastructure, road safety, parking, traffic safety, and intelligent transportation systems. "It also reviewed trends, modern technologies and innovative solutions in the sector of transport and traffic,” added Al Harithi.
At their pavilion, the directorate and Saaed displayed a number of traffic related technologies, including a multifunctional surveillance camera. "This system is one of the most important traffic safety improvement projects (engineering – awareness – control – speed of response) deployed on the roads and intersections of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. It is an integrated project covering all the elements needed to improve traffic safety; or the so-called ‘5Es’ of traffic safety integration,” indicated Al Harithi.
Al Harithi explained that the monitoring system installed at intersections in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, which the directorate began installing at the beginning of 2012, is an integrated project designed to improve traffic safety at intersections. "As part of the project, 150 light-controlled junctions will be fitted with surveillance cameras in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and the Western Region within the next five years. The first phase of the project included the installation of cameras at 40 intersections in Abu Dhabi City,” added Al Harithi.
Brigadier Al Harithi reiterated the importance of the exhibition, which is attended by distinguished entities and companies operating in the transport and traffic sector, as well as a group of senior experts from the Roads and Transport Authority. "The event is an opportunity to honor those who have contributed to the implementation of technical solutions and clever modern systems for traffic safety,” said Al Harithi.
