This impressive animated data visualization shows the average levels of traffic on Dubai roads over the course of one day. It is one of a series of mapped visualizations in Moving forward: What drives the future of urban transport, a data-driven exploration of urban mobility in Dubai.
Dubai city has one of the highest car ownership rates in the world, with one vehicle for every two residents, contributing to 9.3 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually. In 'Moving Forward', the geo-intelligence platform Urbi Atlas explores how adopting electric vehicles and expanding public transportation can contribute to reducing air pollution in the city.
By 2030, 25% of Dubai’s cars could be electric, supported by government incentives like tax breaks, free charging stations, and a growing EV infrastructure. However, challenges such as battery range limitations due to extreme temperatures and the need for expanded charging networks remain key concerns. Urbi Atlas visualizes the already growing presence of electric vehicles on Dubai's roads with an impressive interactive timeline map (shown below).
Urbi Atlas’s data visualizations provide valuable insights into Dubai’s urban mobility challenges, and show how moving forward electric vehicles and public transit can play a crucial role in further reducing congestion and emissions in the city.
