01 / The platform

A kitchen for your data.

Great insights start with good ingredients. CERRA brings collection, processing and explanation into one connected workflow.

01 / SOURCE

Collect.

Bring in the ingredients: camera imagery, field video, GPS and public datasets.

The ingredients / Data collection
02 / PREPARE

Process.

AI agents and analysis pipelines turn raw observations into structured, reviewable evidence.

The kitchen / Agents + human review
03 / SERVE

Understand.

Explore the results on a map. Ask an AI assistant to explain the data and the sources behind it.

03 / Platform modules

Our Software

Four connected modules. One platform for our roads and environment.

From collecting evidence to discovering what it means, explore the capabilities of each module.

/01

SENSE / COLLECT

Live Smart Sensors

Bring the real world into view.

Start with camera observations and field video. Turn what is captured on the road into counts, locations and evidence you can review.

  • Camera feeds
  • Field video + GPS
  • Detection & counting
