National Transport Authority commissions AHU to
conduct comprehensive UAE road safety study

ALHOSN University has been commissioned
by the UAE’s National Transport Authority
(NTA) to conduct a comprehensive
nationwide road safety study. The results will be
used to formulate better strategies, standards
and policies, and to redefine the role of various
institutions in developing an advanced national
land transport program.
The NTA is the government entity that oversees
the efficiency and safety of the UAE’s land and sea
transport networks. The Authority signed a contract
with ALHOSN University to perform a study that
involves the compilation of traffic accident data
over the past few years, an analysis of the causes
of accidents, preventive measures, the economic
effects of accidents, optimal speed limits, road
and vehicle safety standards, and a comparison
between U.A.E, GCC and global road practices and
conditions.
ALHOSN appreciats the NTA’s tireless efforts to
improve road safety in the Emirates. Just recently
the Authority unveiled plans to enhance the National
School Transport System so their activities have
direct effects on the welfare of our community.
ALHOSN’s partnership with the NTA is thus a
welcome opportunity to support the Authority in
its admirable work while contributing to the wellbeing
of our community.
The NTA aims to sustain improving road
conditions by implementing progressive traffic
safety initiatives and collaborating with various
institutions, including AHU, which is actively
engaged in various road safety campaigns. ■
