Water transport in the Dubai Marina is to be integrated into Dubai’s fleet management system, following an award to 511 Init by the Roads and Transport Authority of Dubai (RTA) for the design and implementation of a real tine passenger information system (AVM).

In the initial phase Init has equipped 15 vessels and integrated them into RTA’s Intermodal Transport Control System. They can now be tracked by the operation control center (OCC), which is able to interact with the drivers in case of any incident. A comprehensive statistics and reporting tool allows optimise of operations, which it is hoped will lead to a better service for visitors and travellers in the Dubai Marina.

Eyad Tayeb, managing director of Init FZE is excited about this new contract with RTA: “I am very much delighted given the chance to continue our strong partnership with RTA. In addition, I am confident that the successful implementation of this project will mark the entry of Init into the water world of the Middle East and will act as a good referral for future projects of a similar nature.”
