Rail Vision has secured an order to deliver two samples of its light rail vehicle (LRV) system to Knorr-Bremse Systeme für Schienenfahrzeuge.
As agreed, Rail Vision will also customise its LRV system to meet the stated requirements of the Knorr-Bremse affiliate.

The company expects to earn €400,000 in revenues from this order.
Rail Vision’s system for the LRV segment utilises electro-optic sensor technology, as well as artificial intelligence and deep learning capabilities to identify and classify obstacles on the line.
According to the company, the system is capable of operating in all weather and lighting conditions.
Notably, the order comes around two months after Rail Vision secured a $10m funding from Knorr-Bremse Systeme für Schienenfahrzeuge. This marked Knorr-Bremse’s second investment in the company.
