The AIM-traded firm said that as part of the agreement, a Cordel Wave LiDAR sensor and camera would be installed on an operational locomotive to capture LiDAR data and video footage.
It said success in the FFV trial could pave the way for its adoption across the customer's broader locomotive fleet, with the possibility of integrating LiDAR technology to support additional use cases as needed.
“We are delighted to welcome a new major customer, with a 4,000 kilometre rail network which is being reinvigorated by unprecedented government investment, including a digital engineering programme, which utilises the best digital technology to improve network performance, safety and efficiency,” said chief executive officer John Davis.
At 0855 BST, shares in Cordel Group were up 10% at 4.18p.
