The Roads and Transport Authority in Dubai has begun implementing an initiative to plan water transport schedules based on passenger demand. This initiative covers ferry, abra, and water taxi services in the city. The goal is to adjust the timing and frequency of marine transport services according to changes in passenger numbers and occupancy rates throughout the year, creating a ‘seasonal network’ operational schedule.
The schedules are updated in coordination with the Business Development and Planning Department as part of this initiative. Utilizing big data, RTA can access information related to passenger numbers, revenues, and occupancy rates for marine transport services. Predictive analysis is then used to study network data and predict the impact that changes in operating schedules and journey frequency would have on passenger numbers, occupancy rates, revenues, and ridership.
This initiative aims to ensure the sustainability of services, meet customer needs, and improve the occupancy rates of marine transport while reducing operational expenses. By utilizing data-driven decision-making, RTA can effectively optimize water transport services to meet the demand throughout the year. The implementation of this initiative will lead to a more efficient and customer-centric approach to managing marine transport in Dubai.
