With its MainLine product already installed on Israel Railways’ locomotives, this collaboration aims to expand Rail Vision’s product offering by deploying its ShuntingYard product within Israel Railways’ cargo division
Rail Vision Ltd. (Nasdaq: RVSN) (“Rail Vision” or the “Company”), an early commercialization stage technology company seeking to revolutionize railway safety and the data-related market, announced today its advancement to the next phase of its collaboration with Israel Railways.
As previously announced, Israel Railways purchased and installed Rail Vision’s MainLine systems on its locomotives and this advancement marks the next step in the evaluation of Rail Vision’s ShuntingYard product for potential adoption by Israel Railways.
Designed specifically for the demanding stop-and-go dynamics of rail yards, Rail Vision’s ShuntingYard product, already deployed with major U.S. customers, combines electro-optical sensors and real-time AI to provide continuous front-to-back situational awareness for locomotives drivers, enhancing their abilities and confidence, even in low-light and adverse weather conditions.
Rail Vision and Israel Railways have agreed to proceed with a one-month evaluation pilot of the ShuntingYard system at Israel Railways following a successful initial capability demonstration. The pilot will enable in-depth familiarization with the system’s performance under local operational conditions and enable the collection of detailed requirements and operational feedback from Israel Railways’ cargo team.
Avshalom Elmaliach, acting CEO of Israel Railways, stated:In recent years, Israel Railways has been leading many innovation processes and projects that enable the company to be at the forefront of global railway technology. The collaboration with Rail Vision, and the innovative products resulting from it, will have a positive impact on railway safety both in Israel and around the world.
David BenDavid, CEO of Rail Vision, added:The upcoming pilot marks another milestone in our mission to make every railroad yard as safe and productive as possible. Our ShuntingYard product was developed collaboratively with operators, and the positive response from Israel Railways’ Cargo Division underscores the tangible value our solution is already delivering to customers in the United States. We remain committed to our strong partnership with Israel Railways and are excited to move forward with the pilot.
Following the successful completion of the evaluation pilot, Rail Vision and Israel Railways plan to explore deployment options designed to deliver measurable enhancements in safety, operational efficiency, and maintenance cost savings.
