GlobeNewswire Inc.
Rail Vision Ltd. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: RVSN), a technology
company that is seeking to revolutionize railway safety and the
data-related market, announced today that Israel Railways Ltd.,
Israel’s state-owned principal railway company, signed an agreement
to purchase 10 Rail Vision Main Line Systems and related services
for $1.4 million. Rail Vision’s Main Line System is a cutting-edge,
artificial intelligence (A.I.) based, industry-leading technology
for detection and identification of objects and obstacles near,
between, or on the railway.
“After more than a year of evaluating a variety
of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), Israel Railways chose
Rail Vision’s Main Line System as the solution for its fleet,
marking the first major commercial deployment of AI-based vision
technology for main line rail industry operations,” commented Rail
Vision CEO Shahar Hania. “Our Main Line System outperformed in all
aspects of testing during the proof-of-concept with Israel
Railways. We believe this is a strong validation of our solution
and bodes extremely well for other pilot programs underway, such as
our long-term pilot in Australia with Rio Tinto, a leading global
mining group, as well as other opportunities around the globe.
“Using advanced, long-range A.I. detection
systems, our game-changing technology provides unparalleled
obstacle identification on and near tracks, making it an ideal
solution for major rail operators like Israel Railways, and a key
driver behind strategic partnerships, such as our relationship with
Knorr-Bremse, the global leader in braking systems for the rail
industry that has invested $24 million into Rail Vision since our
inception,” continued Hania.
Israel Railways operates approximately 700
trains daily, traveling along 1,138 kilometers of track, connecting
major metropolitan areas in Israel, as well as cities, towns, and
rural villages throughout the country.
“We currently have few main line and switch yard
pilot programs underway globally,” continued Hania. “The conversion
of pilot programs into commercial contracts is expected to
accelerate and drive sales growth momentum in the quarters
ahead.”
About Rail Vision’s AI-based Main Line
System
Rail Vision’s Main Line System is an AI-driven
obstacle detection technology designed to revolutionize train
safety. With its extended visual range of up to 1.2mi / 2km, Rail
Vision's Main Line System combines sensitive imaging sensors with
A.I. and deep learning technologies to detect and classify
obstacles on and near the tracks, such as humans, animals,
vehicles, signals, and infrastructure components, quickly and
accurately. The system then generates real-time visual and acoustic
alerts for the train's command-and-control center, helping to
prevent collisions, reduce downtime and delays, increase safety,
and improve traffic volume. Rail Vision’s advanced image processing
capabilities also allow for image-based navigation, predictive
maintenance, and GIS mapping.
