Singapore technology company ST Engineering intends to develop ITS and autonomous vehicle (AV) capabilities in Israel following an agreement with the municipality of Ashdod.


The scope of the agreement includes ITS for roads and a fleet management system for buses.

ST Engineering also wants to open a research and development centre to allow project teams to share knowledge in advanced sensors and artificial intelligence technologies for AV platforms.  The facility will provide access to test sites for the company’s autonomous buses.

Additionally, the ST Engineering’s suite of intelligent rail and road transport solutions will provide real-time traffic sensing and deliver warnings of service disruptions.
