The company holds 32.62% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Rail Vision following the transaction, as well as 35.73% on a fully diluted basis.

Rail Vision previously carried out a successful trial of its vision-based system with a European railway company last month, which saw the solution tested under different weather conditions in both day and night.

"Aiming to accelerate and finalise the development and commercialisation of its system, Rail Vision’s management approached Foresight with a request to expedite the exercise of the warrants."

The new vision-based system’s real-time capabilities were assessed to identify and differentiate between various obstacles on the rail path from a distance of several hundred metres as part of the trial.

After the initial tests, the European railway company expressed its interest in conducting a long-term, paid pilot test with Rail Vision’s system as it considers purchasing the new technology for its locomotive units.
