## Remote train driving, LIVE, from 696 km away! 

Watch history in the making. On Thursday, we'll demonstrate a live remote train drive at Kijfhoek, the Netherlands, controlled in real time by a machinist sitting 696 km away, right here at InnoTrans in Berlin.

Joining us to unpack the technology behind this first-of-its-kind demonstration is Baseliyos Jacob, Technical Project Lead and Senior Engineer, who'll share his perspective on the project. This has never been shown before, and it's not one to miss.

Join us twice on Thursday, Sep 24, 2026 at 10:40 AM and 2:45PM at the AI Mobility Lab. Hall 7.1, Booth 500.

## Perception from assistance to autonomous tram operations!

Our co-founder & CTO, Niels Van Damme, will take a deep dive into our advanced driver assistance system: technology helping drivers avoid accidents and navigate complex urban environments with confidence.

We'll also welcome Nacho Celaya, head of autonomous at CAF, sharing first-hand experience of working with the system on the ground. 

Join us on Tuesday Sep 22, 2026 at 10:30 AM at the AI Mobility Lab. Hall 7.1 A, Booth 500.  More details coming soon!

## Shunting, up close! 

A guest speaker *(to be confirmed and announced soon)* will take you into the world of shunting: how these operations work day-to-day, and the risks that come with them. They'll share how their team uses our camera system in the field and more importantly, why.

At the end of the session, stop by our photo booth and take a picture with the system. Not exactly its day job, but a fun way to see the image quality for yourself!

Join us on Tuesday, Sep 22, 2026 at 2:30 PM at the AI Mobility Lab. Hall 7.1, Booth 500.

## A world first: Autonomous trams in Oslo

Join us at the CAF stand for a look at PER4ALIVE, the project bringing the world's first autonomous tram to Oslo. OTIV provides the perception system behind it, working alongside partners CAF and Sporveien. We start with depot automation before moving into full operations, as part of R2DATO, a European Union initiative.

Our Co-Founder & CTO, Niels Van Damme, will join the session to share OTIV's role in making this possible. Join him on Thursday, Sep 24, 2026 at 10:00 AM at the stand of CAF. 

This session is by invitation only. Interested in joining? Send a request to [maite@otiv.ai](mailto:maite@otiv.ai).
