Saudi Arabia has launched an advanced technical system to monitor the real-time movement of public transport vehicles within Mecca and Medina. This initiative aims to ensure the safety and security of Hajj pilgrims this year.
Introduced for the first time by the country’s Public Transport Authority, the system includes a mobile control and monitoring center. This center employs sensors distributed on all main roads to track public transport vehicles in real time within Mecca and Medina.
The system will measure traffic density on paths designated for pilgrims during the Hajj season, allowing for strategic deployment of manpower and field observers according to real-time needs.
Additionally, the system will inspect vehicles using 360-degree cameras located in the control center.
The mobile control and monitoring center has been developed by specialized Saudi professionals, utilizing the latest technologies.
