Al Ain Municipality has successfully surveyed approximately 1,306 linear kilometers across the city’s areas during the first half of 2025, using the “Smart Eye” system powered by artificial intelligence technologies. The project forms part of the Municipality’s ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its operations and to leverage multi-source information to enhance the quality of spatial data outputs, supporting studies related to infrastructure projects and road networks in the city.
Mohammed Al Rashdi, Head of the Geographic Information Systems Section at the Municipality, explained that the system features seven innovative capabilities, most notably the ability to capture 360-degree panoramic imagery using the MX7 device, along with high-resolution photos. This enables its use in multiple fields including road asset management, topographic surveying, and mapping.
Al Rashdi pointed out that the MX7 device seamlessly integrates with various geospatial solutions and software, enhancing data exchange and collaboration among relevant entities, while also supporting spatial analytics to enable decision-making based on accurate and reliable data.
The Smart Eye project contributes to supporting six key sectors: land and real estate, infrastructure and municipal assets, operations, municipal services, urban planning, in addition to a number of external stakeholders. It provides them with smart solutions and accurate data that help improve service quality and raise performance efficiency.
The implementation of this project comes within the strategy of the Department of Municipalities and Transport in Al Ain, which aims to enhance the quality of spatial data and leverage it in supporting sustainable development and growth plans for the region.
