Digital Coach trains 869 RTA’s bus drivers since Covid-19 outbreak

RTA announced that its Digital Coach had completed the training of 869 bus drivers at the Public Transport Agency. 60 training sessions were held since the outbreak of Covid-19 with the help of Digital Coach, which is the first of its kind in training drivers worldwide.

The Digital Coach is part of one of the smart technologies introduced by RTA in 2019. It fits well with the UAE Strategy for Artificial Intelligence, RTA’s Digitisation Strategy, and the principles of the 4th Industrial Revolution. It showcases the role of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in running the business during the pandemic. The initiative yielded outstanding results during the precautionary measures taken to cope with the Covid-19 observed by RTA in line with the official policies of the UAE.

Designed to train both novice and veteran drivers, Digital Coach trains drivers who need more traffic awareness, as it is equipped with programmed information that includes all training materials and responses to all potential questions and queries raised by trainee drivers during theoretical or practical training sessions.

Powered by AI technologies, the Digital Coach captivates the attention of trainees and interacts with them during the theoretical training sessions. This sophisticated training aid has the efficiency to deliver perfect educational curricula for the training courses for drivers. It contributes to improving the skills of inductees besides enriching the training deliverables towards realising RTA’s vision to become the World Leader in Seamless & Sustainable Mobility.
