Dubai Municipality officials are actively working on implementing drone deliveries by next year.
The Dubai Horizon System, part of the Dubai Digital Twin project, aims to create a detailed digital representation of Dubai in both 2D and 3D. This will enable strategic planning of drone routes and landing spots. Maitha Al Nuaimi, Director of the Geographic Information Systems Center, emphasized the importance of this project for services like drone deliveries of parcels, medicines, and food.
The rapid urban transformation of Dubai posed challenges in integrating data, but progress has been made. The project has also utilized drones and AI for building inspections, improving efficiency in identifying violations.
