Innoviz Technologies Ltd. announced that it signed an agreement with Drive Group to deploy Innoviz's Bridge Collision Detection solution on highways, tunnels and bridges across Israel. Development of the Innoviz Bridge Collision Detection solution evolved from substantially testing other on-and off-highway solutions that Innoviz is commercializing, in conjunction with customers looking for LiDAR-based, technology-driven solutions to distinctive problems. Innoviz's Bridge Collision detection solution uses data gathered from Innoviz LiDAR sensors from both sides of a highway, several kilometers ahead of the entrance to a bridge or tunnel. This system establishes a safe operating zone and identifies vehicles with heights or widths exceeding predefined ranges determined by the road operator.

Using a LiDAR-based system, Innoviz offers its customers a truer, more accurate 3D visualization of a vehicle's dimensions. Drive Group, a leading operator of highways and toll roads throughout Israel, collaborated with Innoviz in the early phases of commercializing the Bridge Collision Detection system. After a successful first trial, an agreement was signed that created a pathway for DRIVE Group to become a distributor of the technology for a broader deployment to highway and other local authority customers.
