Oculus Rail Launches Nationwide
Oculus Rail, a Virginia-based transportation technology company, on Oct. 16 announced its official national launch following a successful multi-city pilot across Hampton Roads.
Over the past year, the company has deployed 40 AI-enabled sensors across Norfolk, Chesapeake, Suffolk, and Portsmouth, “creating one of the most diverse and comprehensive real-world testbeds in the country for rail-crossing analytics,” according to Oculus Rail.
These four cities, Oculus Rail says, collectively host the highest concentration of rail crossings in the Commonwealth of Virginia, spanning a full range of environments—from dense urban neighborhoods and industrial port areas to suburban corridors and rural communities. This diversity provided Oculus Rail with an “unparalleled opportunity” to refine its solar-powered, wireless sensing technology across the full spectrum of real-world conditions that impact communities nationwide, the company noted.
