The role of "radar-like" devices on the streets of Dubai

There are rectangular devices resembling radars in the Emirate of Dubai, and they are usually located at the entrances and exits of the emirate and in vital areas. Readers of "Emirates Today" ask about the role of these devices, noting that many drivers slow down when passing parallel to them, thinking that they are radars that work without flash.

According to Dubai Police, there is a keenness to diversify the control techniques to enhance the safety and security strategy in the emirate, explaining that this device has a completely different role from radars, although it performs a very important task, mainly in the criminal aspect, as it is effective in the traffic part as well.

And spread in the Emirate of Dubai about 70 devices, which the Dubai Police called “Monitor” when it decided to offer it to the service, and it can analyze the colors and types of cars and their data, and compare their characteristics.

The cameras installed in a monitoring device differ from those in the radars, as the latter relies on laser technology that calculates the vehicle’s speed and compares it to the speed of the road.

In general, these devices represent an important factor in tracking any car suspected of being used in a crime, without the need for traditional prosecution, and they have played an active role since their introduction years ago at the criminal and traffic levels.
