Foresight reports that its subsidiary, Air Mobile, has completed a controlled trial of the company’s cellular communications-based road accident prevention system, for the billion-dollar global automotive division of the global Japanese automaker. The experiment was conducted under the supervision of Robotics White and Blue (BWR) and demonstrated the capabilities of AiNet in protecting vehicles from combat collisions. The test was broadcast in real time from the test site in Israel to the Japanese car manufacturer. The experiment is part of a pilot project with the car manufacturer for a possible integration into the car manufacturer’s smart city project.
The company updates that the Protect Net-Eye system has been tested in a number of pre-determined scenarios and simulates road accidents at different speeds in order to test recurrence, detection accuracy and warning timings. The scenarios included vehicles that were out of sight with no eye contact between them. In all cases, all parties involved in the experiment used the Protect Net-Eye app installed on cell phones and the car infotainment system. The Protect Net-Eye system showed 95.54% success in all scenarios tested. All users received timely alerts, about 4.2 seconds before reaching the junction, about one meter from the required alert point. The system exhibited a high level of accuracy and consistency which was reflected in the fact that all the participating vehicles consistently stopped about three meters from the required place in order to avoid potential collisions. The Protect Net-Eye system has proven its durability and reliability by continuous operation with no crashes or errors throughout the experiment day. “The day of the experiment was a success and Inet’s system displayed impressive capabilities. The system operated continuously, alerted in real time, and allowed users to brake safely before entering the junction. The system has proven reliability, accuracy, and stability. BWR has extensive experience in safety systems for the automotive industry and we believe that AiNet’s technology will enable the saving of human lives and can be integrated as a product in the field of road accident prevention, “said Amir Peleg, VP of Advanced Transportation Solutions at BWR. “A-Net successfully completed another controlled trial and met all the pre-defined main performance indicators and performance metrics, demonstrating the capabilities of the Protect Net-Eye system. The system configuration used in the trial was almost identical to the commercial system configuration that simulates real conditions with almost no safety margins,” said Dror Elbaz. COO, and Deputy CEO of AiNet Mobile. “The results of the experiment confirm that AiNet’s technology and product are ready for commercial deployment and may bring exceptional added value to all road users in general and the automotive industry in particular.”
