The superstructure, which is also known by its shorter name the EC3, consists of a ground floor and five storeys with a total floor area of 10,900 sq m. Inside this gigantic nerve-centre is the biggest and most sophisticated control central of its kind worldwide, in terms of utilising smart technologies with the ability to control & integrate various RTA transit modes.
Indeed, this state-of-the-art command centre will be crucial to the RTA to enable the control of all mass transit systems (such as the Dubai Metro, Dubai Tram, public buses, taxis and marine transit modes), and to meet the requirements of the everyday traffic control systems, which will be vital for upcoming mega-events like Expo 2020. The smart building design meets international green building specifications, and will qualify for an Environment Friendly green building award (Gold Class of LEED Classification).
