Rail Vision granted key patent in Europe for railway collision avoidance system

The company states: “Rail Vision (RVSN) announced that the European Patent Office has granted a patent for its innovative railway collision avoidance method and system. This newly granted European patent covers an innovative approach utilizing forward-looking single-spectrum or multispectral electro-optical imaging, combined with a novel system architecture and advanced scene analysis powered by deep learning. The technology employs a unique Convolutional Neural Network – CNN – process to first accurately determine the railway path ahead of the locomotive or train. A secondary object detection CNN then analyses the vicinity of the identified path to detect potential obstacles in real time.”
