The Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), with Reviver Auto Accessories Trading Company — the Regional Office of the American Reviver Auto Company — which will see the development of digital vehicle number plates.
The plates are fitted with features such as monitoring traffic congestions, and licensing-related matters as well as road safety and security.
These digital plates come with a lot of features such as a central electronic control enabling changing plate numbers and design, displaying expiry dates of insurance/licencing, and registering details of trips, vehicle and type of driver. The technology eliminates the stealing of plates and vehicles and connects with the paid parking system and toll gates.
The MoU was signed by Abdullah Yousef Al Ali, CEO of Licensing Agency at RTA and Patrick Allainguillaume, General Manager and Senior Vice President EMEA of Reviver.
“These smart plates will be gradually introduced in Dubai on a trial base, and the technology is set to revolutionise the concept of transportation technology, control and safety. The plate plays a key role in connecting modern technologies and systems and is considered a game-changer in enabling government and semi-government bodies concerned with transport safety and security to connect with vehicles,” said Al Ali.
