Insights
Rail Vision secures valuable European patent for innovative locomotive imaging technology that could enhance railway safety through improved hazard detection.
Rail Vision has secured a European patent for a sophisticated imaging system that intelligently increases sampling rates in specific regions of interest (SROI) for locomotive cameras. This technology represents a meaningful advancement in railway safety systems.
The patented technology operates through a dual-component system - an imaging device captures multiple datasets from forward-facing cameras, while a processing unit identifies critical regions requiring enhanced monitoring. The system's intelligence lies in its efficiency - it uses residual processing time within handling cycles to capture additional data only from high-priority areas, optimizing computational resources while improving detection capabilities.
What makes this particularly valuable is the implementation of a tracking module that automatically identifies rails, defines safety margins, calculates braking distances, and establishes a monitored safe zone. By positioning the enhanced sampling region at the far edge of this safe zone, the system can provide earlier hazard detection within the critical window where operator response is still possible.
For an early commercialization stage company like Rail Vision, expanding its intellectual property portfolio in Europe represents a significant asset. The patent protection creates barriers to entry for competitors while potentially increasing licensing opportunities. Railway safety technology represents a growing market as transportation systems worldwide seek modernization and safety improvements, and this patent strengthens Rail Vision's position in this specialized sector.
Ra’anana, Israel, Aug. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rail Vision Ltd. (Nasdaq: RVSN) (“Rail Vision� or the “Company�), an early commercialization stage technology company seeking to revolutionize railway safety and the data-related market, today announced that the European Patent Office has issued a Decision to Grant for the Company’s patent application covering a novel system designed to significantly enhance the sampling rate of an imager detector for a Selected Region Of Interest (SROI).
The patented system includes an imaging device and a processing unit that works in tandem to capture, analyze, and prioritize visual data from a train’s forward-facing camera. The imaging device collects multiple datasets from image frames during several handling cycles, while the processing unit identifies a specific region of interest based on the collected data. The system can then acquire partial datasets from the SROI during residual time within those cycles, enabling higher sampling rates where it matters most.
Installed on the locomotive and oriented in the direction of travel, the system’s processing unit incorporates a tracking module that detects the rails, defines margins on both sides, calculates a safe braking line based on the train’s braking distance, and sets a safe zone. The SROI is positioned at the far end of this safe zone in the image frames, enabling early hazard detection and response.
“Securing this European patent is another strong validation of Rail Vision’s innovation,� said David BenDavid, CEO of Rail Vision. “By boosting the sampling rate, we’re enabling train operators to detect hazards sooner, react faster, and improve functional efficiency to operate more safely . This technology is another step toward our vision of making railway transportation safer, smarter, and more efficient worldwide.�
With this latest grant, Rail Vision continues to expand its patent portfolio across strategic regions, supporting its mission to enhance railway safety and operational efficiency worldwide.
