The Museum of the Future and Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) have announced a new partnership to showcase future mobility solutions.
At the exhibition, the RTA will showcase a dynamic wireless charging system for electric vehicles and buses in motion using Shaped Magnetic Field In Resonance (SMFIR) technology which has been tested in Dubai Silicon Oasis.
It says the network could be installed under roads to provide smart wireless charging of electric vehicles as they drive through the city.
The two organisations signed a strategic partnership to exhibit some of the world’s most exciting and advanced mobility solutions at the ‘Tomorrow, Today’ exhibition, an ever-evolving showcase of innovations at the Museum of the Future.
Visitors will have the chance to see personal jetpacks, medical drones, food delivery robots, electric bikes and electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft.
Highlights include autonomous vehicle prototypes that use artificial intelligence, machine learning and geospatial data.
The exhibition will also display new ideas for green, sustainable, and environmentally-friendly mass transport services being presented worldwide and research and development centres around the world.
Mattar Mohammed Al Tayer, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of RTA, said, “The rapid technological and industrial changes brought about by the Fourth Industrial Revolution, especially in the field of autonomous transportation, will reshape the future of mobility, provide new means of transportation, and develop current means of transportation in line with future trends.”
The RTA is conducting pilot tests on different types of autonomous vehicles, developing the infrastructure for servicing self-driving vehicles and air taxis.
Khalfan Belhoul, CEO of the Dubai Future Foundation (DFF), called the RTA “a true pioneer in developing integrated transport ecosystems” and that he was looking forward to “showcasing exciting technologies for the first time in Dubai that will shape the future of cities and communities everywhere.”
The agreement between the Museum of the Future and Dubai’s RTA underscores the museum’s efforts to offer an open laboratory to promote creativity, innovation and develop ideas to address challenges across healthcare, education, smart cities, energy and transport.
