Israeli urban 3D AI specialist Foresight Autonomous Holdings has agreed a development and commercialisation agreement with a Japanese manufacturer to deploy 3D perception systems for smart city and traffic monitoring. The development phase is scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2027.

The project involves the use of dual stereoscopic camera systems, which combine visible-light and thermal infrared sensors. These systems will be mounted on patrol vehicles to monitor road lanes and provide real-time alerts for hazards or restricted area incursions, including low-visibility weather conditions.

The project includes development of AI-driven automatic segmentation of road contours and restricted boundaries, real-time detection of wrong-direction driving and abnormal vehicle speeds, and multi-spectral vision software for “beyond-line-of-sight” accident prevention.

A secondary project under the agreement focuses on smart city infrastructure, specifically monitoring entrance ramps and service areas on highways. The system uses AI to recognise vehicles merging into traffic and identifies safety violations such as over-speeding or wrong-way driving.

The agreement was facilitated by Cornes Technologies Limited, Foresight’s Japanese distributor. Foresight, through its subsidiaries, develops vision-based software for the automotive, defence, and heavy industrial sectors, focusing on 3D point cloud generation and automatic calibration.
