The Dubai Police app is set to notify of major accidents that have taken place and if there are any road closures around Dubai.
The new feature will help in reducing traffic congestion as people, after getting notified about accidents and road closures, can take alternative roads to avoid getting stuck in traffic.
Brigadier Khalid Nasser Alrazooqi, Director of the General Department of Artificial Intelligence at Dubai Police said, "When a major accident that calls for a temporary road closure is reported to the Command and Control Room or police patrols, road users will be then notified via Dubai Police app so they can seek alternative routes and avoid congestions."
He also added, "Providing the community with smart solutions reflects Dubai Police’s keenness to achieve the strategic objectives of the government to transform Dubai into a smart city."
The new feature is now available to use via the Dubai Police smart app on iOS and Android devices.
