Connecting Transportation with Data

Neaera Consulting specializes in many different industries and services. Here are a few past and current projects. Contact us if you have additional needs that we might be able to assist with.

Colorado Department of Transportation

Neaera Consulting is working with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) on their Connected/Automated Vehicle projects. With this project, we leverage technologies like Google Cloud Platform, Kubernetes, SCMC, Operational Data Environment (ODE), data transformations, and Kafka with GCP Pub/Sub. This project has 600 roadside units (RSU) placed throughout the state of Colorado and outfits snowplows and other state vehicles for road monitoring. Neaera has supplied the lead system engineer, multiple developers and the architect of the project.

WSP - Connected Intersection Message Monitoring System (CIMMS)

Neaera is developing the Connected Intersection Message Monitoring System (CIMMS) application for WSP. CIMMS is an advanced, massively scalable system implemented with Kafka Streams and deployed in the cloud that validates and assesses MAP, SPaT, BSM, and other J2735 messages at connected intersections. it performs numerous consistency checks to ensure connected intersection deployments are functioning optimally. CIMMS is fully integrated with the comprehensive suite of USDOT ITS JPO open-source  tools for managing connected vehicle infrastructure deployments, that Neaera is a major contributor to,  and which also includes the ODE, GeoJSON Converter, and CVManager.

WDOT/USDOT Connected Vehicle Pilot
Neaera was part of a 3 year Connected Vehicle pilot funded by US DOT and WY DOT. The purpose of the pilot is to install connected vehicle equipment in highway patrol, snowplows and semi trucks. With these vehicles equipped with advanced technology we hope to make I-80 safer road.
INTEGRITY Security Services

Neaera Consulting works with INTEGRITY Security Services LLC to deliver credential management services for connected and automated vehicles using on-board units, road side units and the TMC Authority. These systems are used to secure messages between the center, cloud or TMC and vehicles. These solutions are used to implement IEEE 1609.2 specification to provide non-repudiation, man in the middle attack mitigation, and message replay problems, all to help develop an end to end system of trust. Neaera has deployed these solutions with the WYDOT Connected Vehicle Pilot. Neaera has earned the CMS Certified Partner certification with ISS.

Work Zone Data Exchange(WZDx)
Neaera was part of the V2X Mapping project that designed a proof of concept application to map work zones. The POC effort is focused on automating the process and demonstrating an automated toolset suitable for use by IOO construction staff and contractors to rapidly and cost effectively generate and disseminate a work zone map message to authorized parties
MIRV

Neaera Consulting designed, manufactured and programed a rover using the Robot Operating System (ROS). The robot utilizes cameras, GPS, and LiDAR to retrieve and deploy PI-Lit fares. The robot is designed to maneuver on rough highway shoulders. MIRV operates autonomously or by remote control.

Types of services

Neaera specializes in many different development areas.

Specialized Connected Vehicle Services

Neaera has been part of developing CV specific software solutions like:

  • Developed a system to monitor SPaT and MAP messages
  • Developed a system that collects SCMS certificate health and expiration data using SNMP via NTCIP-1218 Object Identifiers (OIDs)
  • Developed a geospatial engine where the system generates potential vehicle paths for each possible lane connection set within the MAP message
