Dubai: Sophisticated systems to detect traffic accidents and congestion are part of the second phase of the Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS) which will be introduced soon.
The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) announced that the second phase of the ITS contract has been awarded to a specialised consultant.
