/ Abu Dhabi Mobility

In partnership with

Aimsun

Abu Dhabi’s transportation system amassed over 70 billion data points—from IoT sensors and police reports to public transport logs—yet these volumes were scattered across isolated silos. Pixonal led a sweeping data overhaul, partnering with Aimsun to merge historical metrics, real-time feeds, and future simulations into a single, centralized platform. The result? Analysis times plummeted, diverse agencies united under a unified viewpoint, and 950+ powerful insights now guide everything from daily traffic management to strategic urban planning.

Context & Key Challenges

Diverse Data Streams

Multiple organizations—transport, police, aviation, school buses—collected large volumes of information, each using unique formats and tools.

Decision Blind Spots

With no cohesive view of daily, seasonal, or event-driven patterns, leadership found it difficult to spot unusual trends or respond swiftly to emerging issues.

Technical Barriers to Access

Combining data from legacy databases, sensor APIs, and simulation platforms required specialized alignment, making correlation slow and cumbersome.

Project Objectives

Unified Data
Infrastructure

Unified Data Infrastructure

Unified Data Infrastructure

Consolidate all mobility-related data into a governed architecture with consistent naming conventions and time references.

Accelerated Analysis & Reporting

Reduce the integration and reporting cycle from weeks to hours or minutes, enabling real-time decision-making.

Cross-Agency
Collaboration

Cross-Agency Collaboration

Cross-Agency Collaboration

Encourage shared data usage among multiple departments through role-based access, fostering aligned strategies and transparent governance.

Approach & Methodology

Research & Benchmarking

User Studies & Workshops

Conducted detailed sessions with stakeholders to document current processes, pain points, and desired outcomes.

Global Mobility Models

Compared best practices from leading international transit authorities to devise an optimal architecture for Abu Dhabi.

Data Ecosystem Revamp

Strategic Partnership

Teamed with Aimsun for AI-driven data preparation, while Pixonal managed the overall design of the unified platform.

Holistic Framework

Integrated historical logs, real-time sensor data, and simulation outputs into a standardized environment—enabling seamless layering and cross-comparison.

Robust Governance Protocols

Implemented a flexible permission model for secure data sharing without compromising ownership or confidentiality.

Advanced Correlation 

& Visualization

Immersive Map-Based Dashboards

Merged speed, accident, and ridership data onto interactive 2D/3D maps, making complex patterns easier to grasp.

Dynamic Time-Series Analysis

Equipped users with “time machine” features that jump between past records, current stats, and simulated predictions for future scenarios.

Storytelling Framework

Provided narrative-building tools that assemble correlated data into clear, actionable presentations—for example, exploring the chain reaction of an accident on surrounding junctions.

Key Discoveries
& Milestones

Instant Normal vs. Anomalous Detection

Agencies can quickly identify whether traffic issues stem from seasonal fluctuations, events, or sudden disruptions—all in one interface.

Accident Analysis as a Model

By fusing location, time, and environment data, teams uncovered patterns that would have been invisible with siloed reporting—paving the way for similar approaches to other KPIs.

950+ Curated Insights

Standardized definitions and a shared architecture now produce a rich catalog of analytics, revealing everything from commuter trends to multi-agency collaboration opportunities.

Tangible Results

Rapid Turnaround

Preparing data-driven briefs and maps once took weeks of manual merging; it now takes minutes—boosting operational agility.

Elevated Collaboration

Police, transport, and aviation departments align their strategies more effectively, avoiding duplicate work and fragmented policies.

Informed Leadership

Senior decision-makers see real-time dashboards that offer context on whether spikes or dips are part of normal trends, ensuring swift, well-grounded directives.
