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.
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.
