Duos Technologies and CN sign deal for AI Wayside Detection technology

Duos Technologies Group has signed a strategic five-year agreement with Canadian National railroad (CN), which will see the provision of Machine Vision/AI Wayside Detection Safety Data subscriptions.

This artificial intelligence (AI) technology, which CN has utilised for over five years across Canada and the US, boosts manual inspections to enhance railway safety and reliability.

The partnership leverages Duos’ expertise as the creator of the Railcar Inspection Portal and holder of ten active patents in the US.

The company has made significant technical progress since 2010, deploying 13 portals across Mexico, Canada and the US, servicing four Class 1 railroads and Amtrak.

In a pilot with Amtrak late last year, Duos tested the subscription model for machine vision images.

The real-time data provided to Amtrak’s mechanical inspectors has yielded positive results, demonstrating the effectiveness of the technology during the trial phase.
