Muscat: ROP launches AI-powered smart system to curb traffic violations

The Royal Oman Police (ROP) has introduced an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) system aimed at monitoring driver behavior and reducing traffic violations across the Sultanate.

According to Brigadier Engineer Ali bin Sulaiman Al Falahy, Director General of Traffic, the new system includes AI-backed smart cameras installed at traffic signals, along with modern surveillance equipment. These technologies are designed to detect common violations such as speeding, running red lights, not wearing seat belts, and using mobile phones while driving.

The AI system will automatically record data without human intervention, using images, locations, and timestamps to document offenses. It will also assign traffic points to violators. Initially, penalties may include temporary suspension of driving licenses, mandatory referral to driving qualification courses, or administrative vehicle impoundment. Repeat violations could lead to license cancellation, officials warned.

Brig. Al Falahy noted that the system is inspired by models adopted in developed countries and is part of Oman’s ongoing efforts to enhance road safety through cutting-edge technology.
