Innovation in Public Transport. Information Systems

The GIS system developed by IDOM is conceived as an integration platform that will facilitate the interconnection of more than twenty information systems, both from within the Department of Transportation and external factors with direct influence on transport planning.

Abu Dhabi is developing a strategic plan with a view to the year 2030, in order to guarantee infrastructure which is sustainable and in line with the desired quality of life of the citizen. Within this plan, transport infrastructure must ensure the mobility and connectivity of the population through the development of new networks and modes of transport.

IDOM has been collaborating with the Department of Transport of Abu Dhabi since 2013 in the design and implementation of new applications based on GIS. The GIS system being developed is conceived as an integrated platform which will facilitate the interconnection of more than twenty information systems, both from within the Department of Transportation as well as external actors who directly influence the planning of transport.Specifically, we are working on providing new functionality to the three main existing GIS applications, substantially improving the services offered by these applications.  The aim is to promote the use of public transport, ensuring access to information in real time, on traffic, schedules, incidents, parking, available services, etc.

For the managers of the system, the objective is to simplify and streamline the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of transport infrastructure.
