The Integrated Transport Centre (Abu Dhabi Mobility) has signed a series of strategic cooperation agreements with several local and international entities.
Reportedly, these agreements form part of Abu Dhabi Mobility’s efforts, supported by the Smart and Autonomous Systems Council, to develop a smart and integrated mobility network that supports Abu Dhabi’s future vision.
It aims to complete this through partnerships that advance autonomous systems and operational applications in advanced air mobility, marine transport, and autonomous logistics, as well as cooperation in digital infrastructure and next-generation connectivity.
Abu Dhabi Mobility also collaborated with e& to carry out a pilot project using artificial intelligence-powered drones to monitor live traffic conditions and analyse operational data in real time.
The drones transmit real-time traffic data directly to the Traffic Management Centre, enabling specialised teams to monitor traffic density, identify congestion points, address illegally parked vehicles, and respond promptly to incidents.
This pilot project supports the establishment of an integrated, real-time monitoring and analysis system that enhances decision-making and coordination between field teams and control rooms, improving overall traffic management efficiency, ensuring smoother traffic flow, and enhancing road safety across Abu Dhabi.
Abu Dhabi Mobility also signed a cooperation agreement with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office and Tensor Auto Inc., a Silicon Valley based company, to enable the commercial operation of Tensor’s autonomous vehicles in the emirate.
The agreement provides for regulatory and technical support to operate vehicles in real-world environments, in line with the highest safety and operational standards. This partnership will facilitate collaboration, and create a robust ecosystem of national expertise in autonomous driving, enhancing Abu Dhabi’s readiness to adopt future mobility solutions.
Acting director general of the Integrated Transport Centre, Dr Abdulla Hamad AlGhfeli, said: “These agreements underscore Abu Dhabi Mobility’s pivotal role in leading the transition towards smart and sustainable mobility in Abu Dhabi and in developing capabilities in autonomous driving and self-operated logistics across air, land, and sea.
“Through strategic partnerships with national and international entities, we aim to adopt innovative solutions, including advanced communications networks and smart infrastructure, operating autonomous buses and trucks, deploying heavy-lift drones, and studying and operating electric marine vessels, to ensure the highest levels of safety and efficiency, further strengthening the emirate’s global standing.”
Achievements and innovations in urban mobility will be recognised and celebrated at the fourth annual CiTTi Awards on 25 November 2025 at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London. Visit www.cittiawards.co.uk to learn more about this unmissable event for the UK’s transportation sector!
