VALKYRIE

Privacy-First Corridor Intelligence for Roadway Safety & Wildlife Protection

Roadway departures account for more than half of U.S. traffic fatalities (FHWA). Wildlife-vehicle collisions add more than one million crashes and over $10 billion in cost every year (FHWA/USDOT). Ætheris is developing VALKYRIE — a corridor intelligence platform designed to detect roadway departures, speed emergency response, and warn drivers of wildlife hazards. Saving human life first, then protecting every creature that shares the road.

How It Works

From the Pavement to the Platform

Signals originate at the road surface and gain meaning at every layer — designed around privacy-first, event-based sensing with human-in-the-loop decisions.

For Transportation Agencies

DOTs · MPOs · Tribal & Rural

Corridor risk intelligence for roadway-departure countermeasures, work-zone pressure, and rural corridor modernization — aligned with real funding pathways.

For Public Safety

Fire · EMS · Law · Tow

Designed to shorten the distance between a roadway departure and the response — verified events, faster awareness, clearer corridor conditions.

For Wildlife & Conservation

Wildlife Partners

Wildlife-aware corridor sensing designed to reduce the million-plus annual wildlife-vehicle collisions — without cameras or personal tracking.

One Company · Two Divisions & a Research Track

The Ætheris Ecosystem

Ætheris Automation Technologies operates two engineering divisions and a simulation-research track that share a common spine — privacy-first sensing, event-based data, and human-in-the-loop decision making.

Division 01

VALKYRIE

Corridor Intelligence Platform

The roadside sensing-to-response network: detects vehicles leaving the roadway, alerts emergency services in real time, and warns drivers of wildlife on the corridor. Human life first, then every creature that shares the road.

  • Edge detection & incident verification
  • Autonomous corridor command & dispatch
  • Real-time alerting to vehicles & agencies
Division 02

WATCHTOWER

Evidence & Automation Platform

The Ætheris operating system: turns video, transcripts, and field data into timestamped, auditable evidence, and runs the company's local-first automation, finance, and operational command. Local processing, traceable logic, no surveillance.

  • Timestamped video & document evidence
  • Local-first ingestion — no metered cloud calls
  • Operational, finance & readiness command
Research Track

FORGE

Simulation & Validation

Our simulation-research track: validating corridor-safety logic in BeamNG.tech® before it touches a live roadway. Repeatable crash and edge-case scenarios, fully instrumented, with zero real-world risk.

  • Physics-based scenario testing
  • Edge-case & failure-mode coverage
  • Research partnerships & funding
