Ajman Installs Smart Speed Limiters in Taxis to Boost Road Safety
Ajman has installed smart speed limiters in taxis. This initiative aims to improve road safety by preventing taxis from exceeding speed limits, thereby reducing the risk of accidents. The devices will help ensure safer travel for both passengers and pedestrians.
Why Speed Limiters in Taxis?
Ajman’s decision to install speed limiters in taxis addresses concerns about speeding in the city. Taxis are commonly used, and this technology will help control their speed. It also encourages safe driving practices. By ensuring taxis don’t exceed speed limits, the initiative supports safer road conditions.
How Do Smart Speed Limiters Work?
These smart speed limiters use GPS technology. They adjust the vehicle’s speed according to the area’s speed limit. For instance, in residential zones, the device will prevent taxis from speeding over 40 km/h. The system is directly integrated with the vehicle’s Electronic Control Unit (ECU), making it tamper-proof.
Impact on Road Safety
The new system is expected to reduce accidents caused by speeding. With more than 300 taxis using these limiters, Ajman hopes to see fewer road-related incidents. This move will help enhance public trust in the safety of public transportation. It will also set an example for other cities in the UAE.
Ajman is not the first emirate to install speed limiters in taxis. Dubai and Abu Dhabi have implemented similar technology in specific areas. However, Ajman is the first to implement it across all taxis. This city-wide approach sets a precedent for others to follow.
Conclusion
Ajman’s new speed limiter in taxis initiative is an essential step toward safer roads. It will ensure that taxis follow the speed limits and reduce speeding incidents. This technology will also help create a long-term culture of responsible driving.
Ajman’s leadership in this area could inspire other cities in the UAE to adopt similar practices. What do you think of Ajman’s decision to install speed limiters in taxis? Share your thoughts in the comments. Stay updated by following the Arabwheels Blog.
