Abu Dhabi launches autonomous vehicles testing, operations system
Abu Dhabi’s Integrated Transport Centre (ITC), an affiliate of the Department of Municipalities and Transport, has launched the Autonomous Vehicles Integrated Testing, Operations, and Management System (AViTOMS) at DRIFTx 2025, held as part of the inaugural Abu Dhabi Autonomous Week (ADAW) organised by the Smart and Autonomous Systems Council (SASC). This advanced, centralised digital platform, the first of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa, is designed to manage all stages of testing and operating autonomous vehicles in Abu Dhabi, improving operational efficiency and safety in line with approved sector regulations. The platform covers every operational stage for autonomous vehicles in Abu Dhabi, from registration, application and permitting, through supervision of trials and technical data analysis, to full commercial operations, ensuring safe processes and procedural accuracy at each step.
