Amman, July 27 (Petra) – The Greater Amman Municipality (GAM)
launched the Google Roads Management Insights (RMI) smart traffic
management platform on Monday, in cooperation with Techkore,
Consolidated Consultants Group for Engineering and Environment, and
OniGroup Global.
The project aims to support traffic monitoring and planning through
interactive dashboards and key performance indicators, enabling
decision-makers to gain a more comprehensive understanding of traffic
conditions and objectively assess the impact of traffic projects and
measures, GAM said in a statement.
GAM Chairman Yousef Shawarbeh said the municipality will carry out
royal directives to improve public services and quality of life
through its strategic plan, which includes digital transformation
projects and turning Amman into a smart city.
The project, he pointed out, aligns with national transformation
priorities and the Economic Modernization Vision’s objectives of
advancing digital transformation and using technology and data to
improve the efficiency of public services and develop effective
solutions to the city’s challenges.
Shawarbeh pointed to traffic congestion as one of Amman’s most
pressing challenges, stressing the need for forward-looking plans
based on accurate, real-world data to support sound decisions and the
transition toward a smart and sustainable city.
He also highlighted public-private partnerships that provide reliable
data for informed decision-making and efficient allocation of
financial resources, helping ease congestion, improve residents’
daily lives, and enhance spending efficiency.
GAM Executive Director for Traffic Mohammad Al-Jadou said the project
backs smart-city and smart-mobility concepts by providing a
comprehensive view of the citywide road network, analyzing congestion
levels, monitoring speeds, and identifying traffic bottlenecks. These
capabilities, he said, would support faster, more accurate, and more
efficient decision-making.
Techkore General Manager Saifallah Alawaisheh presented the platform,
its implementation plan, timeline, roles, and responsibilities.
