Axilion Smart Mobility ready to grow AI-powered traffic tech across MENA
Axilion’s technology uses dynamic sensors to provide up-to-date 360-degree visibility of a city’s traffic network and create digital twin
Axilion Smart Mobility says its newly opened Dubai office will support the AI-based traffic management company’s growth in the UAE, as well as Saudi Arabia, the wider GCC and Egypt.
The firm’s digital twin technology recreates a city’s road traffic network to create less congested, safer, and citizen-friendly streets.
Axilion’s technology uses dynamic sensors to provide up-to-date 360-degree visibility of a city’s traffic network. The real-time data is then utilised to create a city’s digital twin.
The virtual mirroring of the physical city enables city-wide mobility to be immediately analysed, with traffic signal timing optimised and traffic systems transformed to dynamic and adaptive networks, says the company.
It added in a statement that Dubai is an ideal hub to carry out “its well-timed expansion plans, as the city continues to progress in its strategy towards becoming a world-leading smart and sustainable city of the future, and with the UAE Vision 2021 National Agenda aiming to make the UAE the safest place in the world.”
John D. Porcari, advisory board member of Axilion and Former Deputy Secretary of the US Department of Transportation, added: “With seamless integration, Axilion enables cities around the world to reclaim their traffic-congested streets.
“We are particularly excited to bring Axilion’s green and innovative solutions to the MENA region, where many government entities and change-makers are looking with new urgency at how to build true smart cities and a more sustainable future.”
Axilion Smart Mobility’s business development and country Manager for MENA region Mo Fayez, described the expansion as coming at a crucial time: “As the MENA region places a strong emphasis on fostering innovation and sustainability. The strategic location of Axilion’s HQ reflects Dubai’s ambitions to be the happiest city on earth by embracing technology innovation, making a more seamless, safe, efficient, and personalized city experience for all residents and visitors.”
