• Developed a Java interface to connect and communicate with the RFID tag readers present in the toll collection field and collect patron tag information in real time. This tag information is subsequently used in providing accurate patron account balances in toll collection lanes.
• Implemented transactions for EJB by using JTA Java Transaction API .
• Responsible for design of data transaction processing DTP model using Java JTA API which provides high data access power to the Toll-System application.
• Coding, testing and deployment of the 'User transaction', 'Transaction Manager' and the 'XAResource' interfaces' of the DTP model.
• Used Web Sphere application server to create, test and deploy EJB components.
• Developed Web Services using SOAP, WSDL and used them for interacting with other proprietary systems based on lane controllers, redundant lane controllers etc.
• Provide on-site systems support: Installations, troubleshooting, and failure recovery.
• Document the application manual for the ease of usage for customers, toll collectors.

Role: Internship Masters Degree Project

• The project internship for Confidential involved building a computational time-series forecasting model using Artificial Neural Networks based on statistical data for forecasting traffic patterns on the New Jersey Turnpike. Daily activity involved collecting data for statistical measurements of the frequency of arrival rates of various classifications of vehicles at toll collection points for ingestion into Artificial Neural Network. The output of the Artificial Neural Network was used to derive Logical Rules to feed into a J2EE based Rules Engine which would provide an estimate of the time taken between various toll points on the Turnpike.
• Technical Environment: NeuroSolutions 5, Microsoft Excel 2003 and Java 2.0, Hibernate, JDBC, Execute Query, UML, WebSphere 5.0, WSAD, Oracle 9i, Rational Rose, Rational Clear Quest.

Responsibilities include:

• Coordination and Collection of data for a typical vehicle classification between two toll collection points.
• Train and build ANN's models
• Build a Java application or UI which would provide the end result of a typical rule implementation to the end user.
• Build a J2EE based rules engine application which would evaluate from the existing options or inputs and derive rules from the options and provide the most optimum path to be taken based on the real time traffic congestion pattern.
• Developed the action classes to execute the business logic and action form's to collect the input data from the ANN Using Java, DAO patterns, DB2
• Adopted J2EE best Practice, using J2EE Design patterns like Data Access objects for portability and performance.
• Implemented the database queries in DAO, used web services to access the web enabled methods
• Database table mapping files and configuration files are implemented in XML.
• Prepared test cases with respect to front end pages developed and performed unit testing using JUNIT.
• Used Rational Clear case for version control and Rational Clear quest as workflow management system
• Involved in designing the system based on UML concepts which include Data Flow Diagram, class diagram, sequence diagram, state diagram using rational Rose Enterprise Edition.
• Requirements gathering, use case analysis and test plan preparation
• Prepared use case documents for different modules.
• Implemented MVC architecture and DAO design pattern for maximum abstraction of the application and code reusability.
• Implemented Treeview structure using Struts Layout.
