Dubai's marine transport network is set for a data-driven upgrade as the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) rolls out an enhanced Seasonal Network initiative powered by artificial intelligence and predictive analytics. The move is designed to improve service flexibility and respond more efficiently to fluctuating passenger demand during peak seasons, public holidays and major events across the emirate.The summer operating plan, effective in July, is built on an integrated big-data repository tracking passenger numbers, revenue, and occupancy rates. Officials say the system sharpens forecasting accuracy and supports more responsive operational decisions as usage patterns shift throughout the year.

Most people know exactly how old they are. But doctors say there is another age worth paying attention to, your biological age. Unlike the number on your identity card, this number reflects how well your heart, muscles, metabolism and other vital systems are ageing. The topic has gained fresh attention after Dubai announced the establishment of the Dubai Longevity Authority, an initiative aimed at positioning the emirate as a global hub for healthy ageing and preventive healthcare. “Chronological age is simply the number of years we have lived. Biological age reflects how old our body truly feels and functions,” said Dr Rola Fayad, specialist in internal medicine at Burjeel Medical Center, Silicon Oasis.
