WALNUT CREEK, CA<\/strong> \u2013 Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) today announced a new strategic partnership with Heex Technologies to refine data processing capabilities for autonomous vehicle original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and mobility operators. This strategic alliance, which includes the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) and the Federal Transit Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation (FTA), will contribute significantly to the development of local and national safety standards and rulemaking for autonomous vehicles through the gathering and sharing of vehicle data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCCTA\u2019s innovation goals hinge on quality partnerships like the one we\u2019re forging with Heex, CCTA Executive Director Tim Haile said. \u201cThe data management work offered by their team will help shape autonomous vehicle technology and policy locally and nationally. We\u2019re proud to be taking this step forward with Heex, UC Berkeley, and the FTA.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heex Technologies specializes in refining data processing for autonomous vehicle OEMs and mobility operators. A core aspect of the agreement is the deployment of Heex Technologies\u2019 innovative Smart Data software solution. Engineered to manage, process, and analyze high-volume data, this system will provide a comprehensive understanding of autonomous vehicle behavior and operational efficacy, supporting the development of enhanced safety and performance standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe large amount of collected data in the Automated Driving Systems (ADS) demonstration projects can represent petabytes (one petabyte equates to the memory needed to store over 500,000 photos on your smartphone), and provide high-quality data to the FTA, academia, and the public. CCTA staff and project partner UC Berkeley PATH have identified Heex\u2019s platform as the best fit to provide the necessary data processing services the meet the project needs. Heex\u2019s platform will effectively process and visualize the data collected from the programs operational scenarios to demonstrate vehicle safety.\u201d

\u201cThis is a major milestone for us, and a very good news for our development opportunities in the United States of America,\u201d Bruno Mendes Da Silva, Heex Co-founder and CEO \u201cHeex Technologies is committed to the belief that Smart Data, as opposed to Big Data, is the most effective approach to harmonizing new technologies with sustainability. We are looking forward to working with many more transportation authorities like CCTA to enable the advent and deployment of Autonomous Vehicles on public roads\u201d Mendes Da Silva added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
