869 Dubai bus drivers trained by Digital Coach

Powered by AI, RTA initiative fits well with Covid measures

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced that its Digital Coach had completed the training of 869 bus drivers at the Public Transport Agency. Sixty training sessions were held since the outbreak of Covid-19 under this initiative, which is the first of its kind in training drivers worldwide.

Introduced by RTA in 2019, the Digital Coach is a robot designed to train both novice and veteran drivers.

Pioneering scheme

This pioneering scheme employs AI technology to operate a digital coach in training public transport drivers and improving the quality of the training delivered. The initiative yielded outstanding results during the precautionary measures taken to cope with the Covid-19.

RTA has plans to upgrade and configure this robot to handle future changes in the training material and deliver it at the highest global standards.
