18. Dubai Tram

19. Dubai Tram
• It runs for 14.5 kilometers (9.0 mi)
• The first section, a 10.6-kilometer
(6.6 mi) long tram line which serves
11 stations, was ceremonially
inaugurated on 11 November 2014.
• The Dubai Tram is the fourth
tramway project in the world, after
the Bordeaux tramway in 2003 and
the Rims and Angers tramways in
2011, to be powered by ground-
based electric supply system.

21. Dubai Trolley

22. Dubai Trolly
• Dubai Trolley is an inactive tram system in Downtown Dubai.
• It boasts a number of unique trams specially designed for Emaar Properties.
• They travel at an operational speed of 10 km per hour.
• Double-decker and can convey 50 passengers, who have the options of the open-deck or the air-
conditioned seating. They convey passengers free of charge.
• It was announced by Emaar Properties on 23 April 2008, with opening proposed for the end of 2009.
• The total cost was put at AED 500 Million.
• The line on which the Dubai Trolleys travel will be built in three phases which will form a 7 km loop
around Downtown Dubai.
• As of 2019 year, Dubai Trolley is out of operation. Poles are located at tracks, tram vehicle number
one is displayed to public in the street, depot is used as commercial area.

23. Dubai Bus

24. Dubai Bus
• 734 peak bus schedules are run on 79 bus routes cutting
over 264,260 kilometres on a specimen working day.

32. Electric Mobility

33. Shared Mobility
3,500 bicycles
across 350 smart docking stations
2 Car sharing apps (ekar & Udrive)
2 Car pooling apps (Uber & Careem)

34. Autonomous Mobility
25% of trips to fully autonomous by 2030

Self-driving shuttles in The Sustainable City
Autonomous Air Taxi
Dubai Sky Pod
Hyperloop

35. Traffic Management Centre (iTS2020)
The project includes:
• A central intelligent traffic
management system utilising big data
and artificial intelligence to manage
traffic
• Information distribution tools (push
notifications, variable message signs,
etc.)
• Data collection systems (sensors,
cameras, etc.) which together create an
advanced communication network.

36. Autonomous Mobility

37. Autonomous Driving Roadmap

39. Challenges
• Weather (hot and humid)
• Car dominant culture
• Non-uniform distribution of population
• Not walking friendly (built for cars)
• Most commuters are not residents
• COVID-19 and social distancing

40. Future Mobility Scenario in Dubai
• Autonomous driving piloting and operating mostly in gated communities
• Less car dependent and shift more to PT (+ COVID-19 effect)
• More EV models available & majority of vehicles are electric
• City is well connected by PT (metro lines and buses)
• More car sharing (EV) vehicles
• Good walking and biking infrastructure
• Rise of giga apps (one-stop-shop) such as Careem//Uber (MaaS)

41. Initiatives
• EXPO 2021 Dubai – Mobility Pavilion
• +20 leading international conferences
• 2nd city in the world to be HD mapped
• Dubai Future Council
• 4th Industrial Revolutions Labs
• Dubai Future Foundation
• Innovation Labs: Urban design,
mobility, livelihood, resource
utilization, urban competitiveness,
urban economies and governance.
