Rail Vision Ltd. Receives Japanese Patent Allowance for Railway Obstacle Detection Technology

Rail Vision Ltd., a development stage technology company that is seeking to revolutionize railway safety and the data-related market, announced it received notice of allowance from the Japan Patent Office (JPO) for its patent titled, “System and Methods for Object and Obstacle Detection and Classification in Collision Avoidance of Railway Applications,” covering the Company’s cutting-edge, artificial intelligence (AI) based, industry-leading technology specifically designed for railways.

“Rail Vision’s technology, which enables the identification and classification of objects on and around the tracks is a game changer,” commented Rail Vision CEO Shahar Hania. “Japan has one of the most advanced rail networks in the world with more than 27,000 kilometers of track that carry an estimated 180 million passengers annually, in addition to a large volume of freight. With IP protections now in place in Japan, Rail Vision can enter this large market from a position of strength as we bring new advancements to the rail industry designed to save lives, increase efficiency, and dramatically reduce expenses for railway operators.”
