Rail Vision Seeks to Expand U.S. Market Reach

Rail Vision systems are said to detect objects on and along the tracks from a distance of up to 1.2 miles (2 kilometers)—in real time, as well as in all weather and light conditions. When an obstacle is detected, the system sends visual and acoustic alerts in real-time to both the operator and the command-and-control center. (Image Courtesy of Rail Vision)

Ra’anana, Israel-based Rail Vision Ltd. on April 15 announced that, as part of its marketing efforts in the U.S., it has entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOD) with an undisclosed leading railway technologies company for the distribution of its MainLine and ShuntingYard products.

On March 18, Rail Vision revealed its intention to broaden its sales operations in the U.S. by collaborating with a top distributor, which was not named, to promote its unique products. Furthermore, the company says it “aims to solidify its standing as a premier provider of safety products by directly engaging with and selling to industry leaders, Class I railroad companies, and top-tier players within the U.S. railway sector.”

According to Rail Vision, the distributor develops leading engineering, science and advanced technological solutions for passenger, transit and freight rail markets for governments and private entities worldwide. Upon the execution of definitive documentation, the ultimate objective of this engagement, Rail Vision says, is for the distributor to market the company’s solutions across North America.
