PowerFleet, Inc. (NASDAQ: PWFL), a global leader
and provider of subscription-based wireless IoT and M2M solutions
for securing, controlling, tracking, and managing high-value
enterprise assets such as industrial trucks, tractor trailers,
containers, cargo, and vehicles and truck fleets, has announced
that its subsidiary, Pointer, is working in tandem with Mobileye to
install Pointer telematics units on traffic lights in the streets
of Jerusalem. The negotiation follows the joint pilot between both
companies.
Pointer's telematics units transmit the status of the traffic
light in real time to the Mobileye Autonomous Experimental
Vehicles. The units enable direct communication between the traffic
light and the vehicle and provide an additional data layer from the
vehicle’s sensors.
Once installed on the traffic lights in Jerusalem, Pointer's
telematics units will transmit the traffic light status every 0.4
seconds. Events will be recorded in real-time on the experimental
vehicles in order to verify the traffic light color. The contact
between both companies encompasses hundreds of telematics units and
over 86,000 daily broadcasts.
Ilan Goldstein CEO Pointer, PowerFleet Group noted, "The traffic
light network will offer an additional layer of data for autonomous
vehicles moving on Israeli roads today, as well as those moving
worldwide in the future. The Mobileye experimental vehicles will be
able to receive traffic light alerts (red, yellow and green) both
through car cameras and through the traffic light telematics units.
We expect the experiment to be extended to other regions of the
country as well as to other markets around the world. Pointer is
pleased to join Mobileye on this pioneering project."
Yossi Hadad, Vice President and VP of Software Integration and
Advanced Systems at Mobileye: "As part of the company's safety
concept, we aim to produce redundancy (data duplication) mechanisms
to verify the reliability of information received in autonomous
vehicle systems. To that end, we are exploring the use of
additional sources of information and technologies that are
available to us, while maintaining uncompromising security."
