Rail Vision Ltd. (Nasdaq: RVSN) has moved to the next stage of its partnership with Israel Railways. Specifically, it will launch a one-month evaluation pilot of its ShuntingYard product. This follows the successful installation of Rail Vision’s MainLine systems on Israel Railways locomotives—and a strong initial demonstration of ShuntingYard’s capabilities.
The ShuntingYard system is designed for the stop-and-go dynamics of rail yards. It uses electro-optical sensors and real-time artificial intelligence to deliver continuous front-to-back situational awareness. As a result, it boosts driver confidence and performance—even in low-light or poor weather. Notably, the technology is already active with major U.S. rail operators.
During the pilot, Israel Railways’ cargo team will test the system under local conditions. They will gather hands-on feedback and refine operational requirements. Consequently, this real-world trial is a key step toward potential full adoption.
Avshalom Elmaliach, Acting CEO of Israel Railways, welcomed the collaboration. “In recent years, Israel Railways has led many innovation projects,” he said. “Our work with Rail Vision will positively impact railway safety both in Israel and worldwide.”
David BenDavid, CEO of Rail Vision, called the pilot a significant milestone. “We developed ShuntingYard hand-in-hand with rail operators,” he explained. “The strong response from Israel Railways’ Cargo Division confirms the real value we’re already delivering in the U.S.”
Moreover, the system aligns with Rail Vision’s core promise: clear detection up to 2 kilometers, supported by both visual and acoustic alerts. Thanks to advanced AI and streamlined hardware, it runs reliably on a single computer unit—ensuring 24/7 precision.
If the pilot succeeds, both parties plan to explore broader deployment. Their goal is to improve safety, increase operational efficiency, and cut maintenance costs.
Ultimately, the Rail Vision ShuntingYard pilot is more than a test—it’s a step toward smarter rail infrastructure. As autonomous trains gain momentum, innovations like this could become essential to the future of rail transport.
