🚀 A Proud Moment for Team OTIV! 🎉 We’re delighted to share that our colleague Johannes Langhorst has been awarded the "Bremer Ingenieurpreis" (Bremen Engineering Prize) for his master’s thesis! 🏆 Johannes tackled a big challenge in autonomous mobility: ensuring safe stopping manoeuvres with lightning-fast reaction times, even on complex road geometries. This innovative algorithm is another step forward in making autonomous vehicles safer and more reliable — a mission that resonates deeply with what we aim for at OTIV in the world of autonomous mobility. ✨ The prize, awarded by #VDI (the Association of German Engineers) in Bremen, celebrates outstanding academic achievements in the region, and we’re thrilled to see Johannes’ work recognized at this level. Congratulations, Johannes! Your work inspires us all to keep pushing boundaries and advancing autonomous mobility — whether on road or rail.👏 #Innovation #AutonomousDriving #SafetyFirst #EngineeringExcellence #TeamOTIV #VDI #WeAreOTIV University of Bremen 📸 Anja Riemer and Eberhard Dr. Karbe

☀️ Bonjour from France! 🇫🇷 Today, OTIV is making strides in beautiful France with two teams in the field: 👉 One team is testing an already installed OTIV.ONE system, connecting with the customer’s team who uses it regularly for shunting operations. The first-hand feedback we gather is truly invaluable! 👉 The other team is deploying a new unit at another site, delivering training, and ensuring the local team is set up for success. We can’t wait to see how this will enhance safety and efficiency in their operations. A big merci to our customers for their collaboration and trust. Stay tuned for more updates from the field! 💙 #OTIV #weareOTIV #TeamOTIV #OTIVONE #Teamwork Guillaume Toon Lukas Warre Sam Niels Babette

🌍 Last week, OTIV was proud to be present at RailTrends, fondly called "the Woodstock of rail." It was a fantastic opportunity to meet new rail friends, build connections, and learn about the industry's future. Key Takeaways: 📷 Safety remains a critical focus, especially as technology continues to reshape rail operations. 📈 Growth, OR and resilience are key themes, with intermodal, short-line collaborations & industrial developments as driving forces. 💪 Partnering to acquire new technology is outpacing in-house development as rail competes with rapidly advancing alternative transport modes. At OTIV, we’re proud to advance safety with our camera-based technology, addressing one of the most dangerous rail activities: switching operations. This is a crucial step in enabling all 3 growth drivers highlighted above. 🔎 How do you see technology advancing rail safety? Let’s connect and share thoughts! And of course: Another milestone, another selfie
