A student team from Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University has developed an innovative AI-based device designed to detect vehicles illegally using emergency lanes — a growing concern that poses serious risks to public safety.
The device utilizes advanced artificial intelligence algorithms to automatically identify vehicles that encroach on emergency lanes.
It is capable of capturing license plate details in real-time and alerting relevant authorities, thereby enhancing traffic law enforcement and facilitating quicker response times for ambulances and emergency services.
Driven by their passion for emerging technologies and public service, the student developers emphasized that the project was inspired by a commitment to improve road safety.
With institutional support, they successfully built a functional prototype demonstrating the real-world potential of AI in smart transportation solutions.
This initiative reflects Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals of empowering youth, encouraging innovation, and leveraging technology to solve local challenges and create smarter, safer communities.
