Current Transport
Safety in Qatar
The World Health Organization
(WHO) estimated that globally 1.25
million people died as a result of
road traffic injuries in 20101. In the
Middle East region the rate of deaths
per 100,000 population is higher
than the 2013 OECD median rate of
5.13 per 100,0002. Recognizing the
need to address the road toll and
to reduce deaths and injuries, the
Qatari Government has introduced
a major strategy to ensure the safety
of its citizens. In 2013, the Qatari
Government released its National
Road Safety Strategy 2013 20223.
The goal is to significantly reduce
road deaths by 20224. The strategy is
built around four core elements:
Safe roads;
Safe vehicles;
Safe road users; and
Safe speeds5.
The government aims to reduce
fatalities and serious injuries through
measures such as more police
enforcement measures, mass
media campaigns aimed at high-
risk drivers and riders, improved
street and infrastructure design,
and enhanced safety standards for
vehicles6.
Developments in
Transport Safety in
Qatar
Qatar is positioning itself as a hub for
major sporting events and attracting
increasing visitor numbers. One
of its major motivations for doing
this is to use it as an impetus to
modernize its transport sector, based
on the concept of sustainable
development7. An evaluation of
sustainable transport for mega
sporting events highlighted the need
for public transport solutions that
reduce car traffic, and allow control
over the energy used to power the
transport8.
TRANSPORT SAFETY IN QATAR: STRENGTHENING THE 4 PILLARS TO ACHIEVE SAFER AND SMARTER TRANSPORT
Road Safety
In its bid to reduce road deaths to
130 by 2022, Qatar has developed
an intelligent transport systems (ITS)
masterplan, which will inform the
development of an action plan and
standards for implanting ITS into the
road development and operation9.
Qatar aims to integrate ITS into all
of Dohas transport networks, to
manage the traffic more efficiently
and to improve road safety. Yousef
Al Emadi of the the Public Works
Authority (Ashghal) has stated
that all projects must include ITS
infrastructure10.
Qatars ITS includes national-level
data collection, and the intelligence
and algorithm for calculating such
things as traffic congestion and trip
plans. It collects data from GPS
devices in cars, Bluetooth road
sensors and smart phones, delivers
both real-time and historic traffic
information, can detect incidents,
provide navigation services, and
predict journey times and traffic
signal waiting times11. Part of the

system has been implemented
with over 120 intersections being
controlled centrally12.
In early 2014 Qatar completed its
Emergency Vehicle Preemption
System (EVPS) to reduce emergency
response times and the risk of
accidents when emergency vehicles
respond. The system, which allows
traffic signals to give green light
to an approaching vehicle that
is equipped with a preemption
transmitter, was installed at 25
intersections and 5 roundabouts.
Initially Ashghal fitted the transmitters
in 15 ambulances and 10 Civil
Defence vehicles with plans to
increase the numbers13.
Qatar has been working to upgrade
its national highway system,
to improve connectivity with
neighboring countries. A 2008 study
suggested that the volume/capacity
ratio of Qatars large, multi-lane
roundabouts was often exceeded,
and that motorists regularly
approached these roundabouts at
unsafe speeds. It recommended
upgrading intersections, and
introducing traffic calming
measures14. New highways, and
highway upgrades, will reduce the
risks at roundabouts and increase
safety.
Doha Metro
While improving its road system
and road safety is a priority, Qatar is
also implementing public transport
systems to reduce congestion.
Doha will have a world-class metro
system15. The Doha Metro, which
is mostly underground, will reduce
congestion and pollution, while
offering sustainable, attractive and
fast public transportation choices16.
When completed there will be four
lines. The Red, Gold and Green lines
and 37 stations are due to open in
2019.17
WWW.TRANSPORTSAFETYQATAR.COM TRANSPORT SAFETY IN QATAR: STRENGTHENING THE 4 PILLARS TO ACHIEVE SAFER AND SMARTER TRANSPORT
Lusail Light Rail
The Lusail Light Rail project will
connect to the Doha Metro (Red
Line), providing public transport
options for Lusail City, which is
expected to house more than half a
million people18. The four-line tram
network will connect the major points
of interest in Lusail.
The Four Pillars of
Transport Safety in
Qatar
Qatar is taking to heart the three
Es of traffic safety: Engineering,
Education and Enforcement, and
has added a fourth pillar, Technology.
The country is working to ensure
that all aspects of traffic safety are
considered holistically as it builds
systems to cope with the increases
in traffic that come from growing
populations and increased visitor
numbers associated with mega
events.
Engineering
Qatar is in the enviable position of
being able to invest considerable
sums of money in creating a world-
class, integrated, surface transport
system in a relatively short period

of time. Whilst the high road toll
was one driver of the system, other
drivers are a growing population
and an increase in visitor numbers,
especially related to mega events
such as the FIFA World Cup 2022.
Taking Qatars National Vision and
National Development Strategy
as the foundation, the country has
invested in the development and
implementation of a comprehensive
national road safety strategy. It
has worked to improve its road
transport system through new and
enhanced highways and roads, and
complemented this with the Metro
and Light Rail projects currently
being developed. These improved
public transport systems are
designed to reduce the reliance of
Dohas population on cars, providing
a viable, sustainable, comfortable,
alternative form of transport.
In another engineering and design
initiative, Ashghal has focused
on improving safety in school
zones for more than 200 schools.
In consultation with the schools,
improvements such as safer roads,
new car parks, traffic flow measures
and school zone speed limits (30
kph) have been introduced. Clear
warning signals are being placed
at the entrances and exits of roads
leading to schools19.
Enforcement
Good design is one important
component of the safety package,
but it will fail unless supported
by legislation and enforcement.
International studies have shown that
using seat belts reduces the road
toll. In Qatar a law was introduced
TRANSPORT SAFETY IN QATAR: STRENGTHENING THE 4 PILLARS TO ACHIEVE SAFER AND SMARTER TRANSPORT
in 2010 mandating seat belt use for
front seat passengers and drivers,
and prohibiting the use of mobile
phones while driving. People who fail
to obey the law face heavy fines and
licence penalty points. However, a
2013 observational study found that
only 72.7 percent of drivers used
seat belts, and 7.5 percent still used
mobile phones while driving.20.
In 2015 the Ministry of Interiors (MOI)
most senior traffic official claimed
that the traffic department does
not have enough officers to deal
with both directing traffic to reduce
congestion at major intersections
and roundabouts, and to ticket rule-
breaking motorists. The department
plans to double the number of
officers patrolling Doha and Al
Rayyan by the end of 201621. The
MOI has also stated that it will use
a growing network of surveillance
cameras to ticket motorists who
break the laws.
It has been suggested that cultural
beliefs may influence the use of seat
belts. The Qatar Emergency Medical
Services conducted attitudinal
surveys showing that some people
suggested wearing a seat belt, or
using a child restraint, could imply
some mistrust of God. The seat

belt law only applies to front seat
occupants, because the wearing of
seat belts by back seat passengers
would be difficult to enforce due to
the common practice of tinting rear
windows22.
Education
Research presented at the 24th
World ITMA Congress claimed,
Systemic reviews show education-
only interventions are rarely effective
on prevention of traffic crashes.23
The World Innovation Summit for
Health report (2013) recommends
education, but suggests that it is
part of an integrated approach
to road safety and needs to
support comprehensive legislation,
including strict and appropriate
penalties, and enforcement, if it
is to be demonstrably effective
in changing behavior, norms and
public perceptions about road
safety24. Qatar seems to have no
shortage of safer driving education
programs and the research suggests
Qatars integrated strategy has the
potential to be effective, but only if all
elements are in place.
A host of campaigns and initiatives
have been introduced, perhaps
the most innovative being a QMIC
app. With the mobile app, Hows
My Driving, users can assess and
improve their driving performance
and, through a link with Qatar
Insurance Company, translate safe
driving behavior into reduced car
insurance premiums. The company
has also released an app which
limits phone use while driving, but
they found it was not widely adopted
precisely because it blocked certain
phone features while users were
driving. Hows My Driving, a gamified
app which allows drivers to compete
with others, takes a different
approach, and enhances driving25.
WWW.TRANSPORTSAFETYQATAR.COM TRANSPORT SAFETY IN QATAR: STRENGTHENING THE 4 PILLARS TO ACHIEVE SAFER AND SMARTER TRANSPORT
The Fourth Pillar:
Maximising the Use of
Technology to Create a
Safer Future
No one will argue that engineering,
enforcement, and education are vital
components of a successful road
safety strategy. That said, technology
is the key to to achieving the most
from these components, and
opportunities for introducing new
and effective technologies abound in
Qatar.
With a vastly improved road network
under development, the Doha Metro,
the Lusail Light Rail and the Qatar
Rail Long Distance Passenger and
Freight Rail project, Qatars surface
transport infrastructure is expected
to be amongst the worlds finest.
Considerable effort has gone into the
design of the system, with safety at
the forefront every step of the way.
Education programs are in place,
and new technologies are being
explored to determine how they
can help improve surface transport
safety.
What will come next?
ITSs are already being implemented,
but there is scope, as technology
develops, to do more.
Design of road networks,
interchanges, public transport
systems and even bike paths at a
university, need to consider usage
patterns, both existing and desired.
Designing an optimum system
involves working out how people
travel, how often they travel, the
times they travel at, the kinds of
vehicles they use, and the purpose
of their travel. This involves crunching
massive amounts of data. Technology
can also be used to model proposed
solutions, to determine if they will
perform as expected.

In the area of enforcement, reliable
and accurate cameras and other
monitoring systems are essential.
New technology is creating new
opportunities. Autonomous and
connected vehicles, devices to limit
the use of mobile devices while
driving, dynamic speed limit systems
which adjust speed limits to the
weather and traffic conditions, are all
viable options which are sure to gain
more ground in the future.
Qatar Foundation is introducing the
QF Tram, due to be operational by
late 2016. This project focuses on
sustainability and uses technology
to reduce energy consumption and
harmful emissions. The tram network
is supplemented by an integrated
bike-sharing program, with 20
stations and 200 electric bikes, and a
pedestrian and bus network26.
Consultancy group Atkins suggests
that the introduction of electric cars,
and the progressive automation
of motor vehicles, are additional
developments which will, by 2025,
help Qatar achieve its sustainability
and safety goals, allowing more
efficient use of infrastructure and the
ability for people to use travel time
for activities other than driving27.
Qatar is also in a prime position
to learn from innovative uses of
technology currently being used, or
piloted, in other countries.
UAE: Dubai and Abu Dhabi are
establishing integrated smart traffic
control centers, which will monitor
existing speed cameras and red light
cameras, but will also include smart
towers equipped with variable
message signs, fog detectors,
dynamic speed limit signs, and
dynamic enforcement radars.28
Australia: in NSW a trial of collision
avoidance technologies (CAT) is
underway. The system is camera
TRANSPORT SAFETY IN QATAR: STRENGTHENING THE 4 PILLARS TO ACHIEVE SAFER AND SMARTER TRANSPORT
based and can detect potential
forward collisions with other vehicles,
pedestrians and even bicycle riders.
It warns drivers of these, and also
warns drivers if they stray out of
traffic lanes without signaling, or are
travelling too close to the vehicle in
front.
Another NSW project uses short-
range communications, rather than
cameras, to predict a collision.
Vehicles hooked up to the system
can talk to each other using
information from GPS, which
includes the vehicles location,
speed and direction. A computer
then predicts the probability of a
collision.29
Europe: It is mandatory for vehicles
over 12 tonnes in Europe to be fitted
with a lane guard system, which lets
drivers know if they are crossing
lanes without indicating.30
Conclusion
Qatar is well on the way to providing
a safe surface transport system,
using technology as an enabler. But
as technology develops, at an ever-
increasing pace, new opportunities
are constantly arising to improve the
existing system and to help create a
truly world-class system to achieve
its stated goal of reducing road
deaths.
