Smart Salik: Digital Toll Management Platform

As part of Dubai's Smart City vision, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) sought to improve how motorists interact with the Salik electronic toll system. Logic Unit collaborated on the development of the Smart Salik mobile application, providing comprehensive toll account management, vehicle coordination, real-time recharge services, trip history, and violation management. The app transformed an administrative process into a convenient self-service mobile experience.

The Challenge

Core Issues & Objectives

Prior to the mobile application, Dubai motorists faced several challenges managing their toll accounts. Checking balances required calling phone hotlines or visiting physical kiosks, tag activation was manual and slow, and tracking crossings or toll violations was difficult, leading to unexpected fines. The RTA required a secure, high-concurrency mobile application capable of supporting millions of transactions per day, with real-time database synchronization.

The Solution

Platform Delivery & Implementation

Logic Unit contributed to the design and development of the Smart Salik mobile applications for iOS and Android. The platform integrates directly with government databases, allowing users to recharge balances securely using credit cards or online vouchers. Key modules include vehicle profile updates, optical character recognition (OCR) for tag scanning, interactive crossing history logs, and instant push notifications to alert drivers of low balances or violations.
