Abu Dhabi: New radars and cameras powered by artificial intelligence (AI) have been activated by Abu Dhabi Police to automatically detect violations at pedestrians crossings and road exits.

Abu Dhabi Police has begun activating the automatic control of the radar system at crossroads. The solar-powered ‘EXIT-I’ devices can catch motorists who don’t give pedestrians right of way at crossings.

They can also detect violations at intersections and crossroads by drivers who overtake in front of the intersection triangle, illegally overtake vehicles, obstruct traffic, and cut in line at exits.
