1. Traffic Congestion in Dubai: A Call for Urgent Action Presentor : Mohammad Jamaal Alnahdi

2. Agenda Reasons of Growing Traffic 2. Solutions for Traffic Congestion 3. Urgency for Intervention 2

3. Why is it happening?

4. Traffic Congestion in Dubai Rising Road Users The increase in registered accounts and vehicles, as well as a 23% rise in taxi-service app usage as per Careem, reflects the growing number of road users and the impact on traffic flow (Kent, S.-A., 2023). Increasing Population surge in the number of vehicles on Dubai's roads has led to a significant rise in traffic congestion, resulting in longer travel times for residents. 8.2per cent registered accounts and vehicles from 2022-2023 with Salik (Digital, 2023) .

5. Time Increase Data from TomTom traffic index shows a substantial increase of 6 hours and 54 minutes spent driving during rush hours over a year, highlighting the urgency of addressing the issue ( Tomtom traffic index,2024). Impact of Traffic Congestion

7. AI-Based Traffic Management 01 AI for Traffic Control Utilizing AI in traffic management can enhance traffic flow by optimizing traffic light timings, as demonstrated by research showing promising accuracy and response time. (Al Mamlook et al,2023) 02 Potential Impact Implementing AI in traffic control can significantly reduce congestion and improve efficiency, making it a crucial 7

8. Expansion of Public Transportation 02 Promotion of Public Transport Major expansion and promotion of public transportation are essential to encourage increased usage and alleviate traffic congestion. 01 Low Public Transport Usage Only 16% of Dubai's population uses public transport, indicating a heavy reliance on private vehicles and the need for improved accessibility (Gugler, P., Alburai, M., & Stalder, L.,2021).

9. Conclusion Importance of Interventions The urgency to reduce traffic congestion in Dubai necessitates immediate action to ensure trouble-free daily commutes for residents. 9
