Foresight’s Eye-Net Validates V2X Collision-Prevention Tech in Bordeaux Transit Trial

Event summary

  • Foresight’s Eye-Net completed a large-scale live trial of its SafeCycloMove collision-prevention project in Bordeaux, France, demonstrating positive technical performance in positioning accuracy, latency, and scalability.
  • The trial involved integration with multiple applications, including Orange’s app, Keolis’ TBM app for cyclists, and Atos’ bus-installed app, all in collaboration with Renault Group and other partners.
  • Eye-Net’s alerting system was integrated into the TBM Mobility App, enabling real-time data exchange between buses and cyclists to prevent collisions in areas with obstructed visibility.
  • The trial evaluated the performance and reliability of cooperative collision-prevention alerts, collected user feedback, and assessed technical readiness for broader deployment.
  • Foresight and its partners are in active commercial discussions to pursue joint commercialization of the solution.

The big picture

The successful trial of Eye-Net’s V2X collision-prevention technology underscores the growing integration of smart mobility solutions in urban transportation. As cities seek to enhance safety and efficiency, the collaboration between Foresight, Renault, Orange, and other partners highlights the strategic importance of V2X technologies in shaping the future of public transit. The shift towards real-time data exchange and cooperative alert systems marks a significant step in advancing smart mobility innovation across Europe.
