Eye-Net Mobile is working with fellow Israeli company NoTraffic on an autonomous traffic management platform that can unlock mobility benefits for traffic agencies.
 
The platform lets cities intelligently implement their traffic policy in a seamless way and operate autonomously to increase traffic flow, reduce congestion, prioritise different types of vehicles and prevent accidents.
 
The companies plan to collaborate to develop and optimise the technological abilities of Eye-Net Mobile’s cellular-based V2X accident prevention product and NoTraffic’s intelligent traffic management. Following the completion of joint development, the companies will promote the integration and commercialisation of the combination with various municipalities in North America and throughout the world. The commercialisation terms and conditions have not yet been agreed.
 
The two companies successfully collaborated in 2018 in a trial with the city of Ashdod, Israel, which demonstrated Eye-Net Mobile’s technologies and created a reliable communication channel between road users and NoTraffic’s smart infrastructure. During the trial, NoTraffic’s intelligent traffic light sent alerts to connected Eye-Net road users about cars running red lights, successfully preventing potential collisions.
 
“The technological collaboration between Eye-Net Mobile and NoTraffic has the potential to redefine smart infrastructures and road users’ connectivity,” said Dror Elbaz, COO of Eye-Net Mobile, a subsidiary of Foresight Autonomous Holdings. “Our cooperation will enhance both products and will enable accident prevention in junctions by sharing real-time information between intelligent traffic lights and connected road users. We believe that the combination will be adopted by municipalities and smart cities worldwide seeking to promote smart transportation and reduce the number of accidents in urban environments.”
 
Tal Kreisler, CEO of NoTraffic, added: “While the technology surrounding us is constantly evolving and improving almost every aspect of our life, the urban environment has been neglected. Intersections are still one of the most challenging traffic bottlenecks and serve as the location for 40% of traffic accidents. NoTraffic’s technology demonstrates a significant breakthrough in the field of communications between road users and traffic infrastructure, bridging the gap between the connected and non-connected road users. Our partnership with Eye-Net Mobile allows us to harness the layer of data collected by our platform in order to provide drivers with better situational awareness of their blind spots as they approach an intersection, creating a much more efficient and safer experience for all road users.”
 
Founded in 2015, Foresight is a technology company engaged in the design, development and commercialisation of sensors for the automotive industry. Through the company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Foresight Automotive and Eye-Net Mobile, it develops in-line-of sight vision systems and beyond-line-of-sight cellular-based applications.
 
Foresight’s vision sensor is a four-camera system based on 3D video analysis, algorithms for image processing and sensor fusion. Eye-Net Mobile’s cellular-based application is a V2X accident prevention system based on real-time spatial analysis of clients’ movement. The company’s systems are designed to improve driving safety by enabling highly accurate and reliable threat detection while ensuring the lowest rates of false alerts. Foresight is targeting the semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicle markets.
