Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has embarked on an initiative for measuring customer’s satisfaction at four Customers Happiness Centres using smart cameras.The step is in line with the UAE Strategy for Artificial Intelligence, Dubai Government Smart City initiative, and RTA’s first strategic goal (Smart Dubai).. Said Maher Shirah, Director of Smart Services, at RTA’s Corporate Technology Support Services Sector: “The initiative aims to measure customers happiness index through smart cameras that analyse the extent of their happiness.“The technology analyses the facial expressions of customers, without saving images in respect of their privacy, before and after processing their transactions at the centre. Accordingly, the technology gives an instant and accurate indicator of customers’ happiness.”The process assists in compiling reports about customers’ experiences, and accordingly enables decision makers to take appropriate decisions to improve the service if required.Dubai RTA Launches nol+ Loyalty Programme via RTA AppThe initiative has been implemented in four customers happiness centres at Al Barsha, Umm Al Ramool, Deira and Al Awir.The cameras, which are manufactured in the UAE, are highly accurate and powered by artificial intelligence technology.. The system sends detailed reports on the level of customer’s happiness through an instantly updated dashboard. It also sends instant notifications when the happiness rating in any centre falls short of the predefined level through a process integrated with the text messaging and e-mails.As such, the concerned parties can take action necessary to restore customers’ happiness level.Concluded Shirah: “The smart happiness index monitors the variation in customers’ happiness level from the moment of stepping into the centre until the time of leaving and links it with the level of service delivered.“This technology generates an atmosphere of positive competition amongst customers’ happiness, and prompts the use of the ‘Gamification technique’ to improve on the level of services; which ensures the customers happiness and satisfaction.”Read More: Dubai RTA Using Robots to Clean Metro Stations
