A cutting-edge smart system has been deployed in Makkah to manage and guide 41,000 buses that are transporting overseas pilgrims during the Hajj season. This innovative technology aims to streamline traffic flow, reduce congestion, and ensure the safety and comfort of pilgrims from around the world.
How the Smart System Works
The system uses real-time data and GPS tracking to monitor the movement of each bus. It provides optimal routing suggestions to avoid traffic jams and coordinates with traffic control centers to manage the flow of vehicles. The system also alerts drivers about road conditions, accidents, or any other disruptions.
Benefits for Pilgrims and Authorities
For pilgrims, this means shorter travel times and a more organized experience. For authorities, it offers better oversight and the ability to respond quickly to any incidents. The system is part of Saudi Arabia's broader efforts to use technology to improve Hajj services.
- Real-time GPS tracking for all 41,000 buses
