ITS Roads is a vendor-neutral ITS engineering and systems integration firm. From system design and prototypes through procurement, deployment and live monitoring, we help DOTs, toll agencies, federal programs and technology companies make smart infrastructure work on real roads, and keep it working.
Intelligent transportation systems are the nervous system of smart cities and smart infrastructure: sensors at intersections, roadside units talking to vehicles, toll gantries, cabinets that report their own health, and the networks and platforms that turn it all into decisions. ITS Roads takes responsibility for the whole lifecycle of those systems: concept, requirements, architecture, prototype, bill of materials, procurement and vendor management, bench build, field deployment, acceptance testing, monitoring and operations. Our clients get a partner accountable for the outcome, not a vendor who ships a box.
Roadside LiDAR, radar and edge-AI cameras at intersections. Roadside units broadcasting signal phase and hazard messages to vehicles under the national V2X deployment plan. Road weather stations, connected work zones, smart poles, digital twins and AI in the traffic management center. Every one of these has to share power, cabinets, communications and central systems with equipment agencies have run for fifteen years. That integration is engineering, and it is ours.
We follow the FHWA systems engineering process on every project, map designs to the national ITS architecture, select products on merit, and put the finished system under live monitoring so it stays smart after the ribbon is cut.
A connected-vehicle manager tells you an RSU is online. ITS Roads goes further: SNMPv3 against the NTCIP 1218 object set, GNSS and firmware state, SCMS certificate health, and live capture and decoding of the messages on the air, including SPaT, MAP, TIM, BSM, PSM, SDSM and work-zone broadcasts, so an agency sees how its test bed actually performs, with real-time dashboards and recurring reports.
On one statewide network that means 512 roadside units and 436 network devices under one template set, with dependency logic that turns a cellular outage into one alarm instead of hundreds.

We run the systems engineering V-model the way USDOT and state DOTs expect it, but we deliver inside it with agile sprints and scrum: short cycles, working prototypes, verification at every step. Click any stage.
Concept, design, prototypes, procurement support, vendor management, build, deployment, acceptance and operations. One accountable team from the first workshop to the last acceptance signature.

Monitoring
Counts, classification, occupancy and origin-destination data from DOT live camera feeds and tolling systems, delivered to dashboards, 511 and ATMS platforms.
Traffic data
Cellular data, private LTE and CBRS, 5G, IoT, broadband, fiber, microwave, satellite and GPS timing, engineered to fit the business and technical needs of carriers, cable operators and their customers.
Connectivity
Solar-powered trailers and portable kits that carry roadside units, cameras and sensors anywhere a pilot, work zone or event needs connectivity in days.
Mobile systems
Roadside and host system design, requirements and RFP development, acceptance testing and installation oversight for toll agencies and the integrators that serve them.
Tolling design
TPAS is Streetline's truck parking availability application. ITS Roads is the technology integration partner that engineers the roadside, deploys it and operates the networks for Streetline, and supports ZDEVCO on port and drayage programs.
The partnership
Load analysis, panel and battery sizing and NEMA 4X smart hubs for off-grid cameras, sensors, signs, radios and the electronics of telecom and utility customers.
Solar and enclosuresCabinets we built, gantries we equipped, signs we hung and the people who did it. Each tile cycles through a topic; open one to scroll through the full set.
Carriers, cable operators, utilities and their enterprise customers ask us to make remote sites talk: roadside cabinets, campuses, ports, rest areas, substations. We select and integrate the connectivity that fits, then monitor it. Pick a technology.
LTE and 5G routers with static IP, dual-SIM failover across carriers, FirstNet where public safety requires it, VPN and firewalling, data-plan sizing for video, and SIM and account management across a fleet of hundreds of sites.
Private LTE and 5G on CBRS spectrum for campuses, ports, plants and corridors that need deterministic coverage and control: RF planning, SAS registration, core and radio selection, device onboarding and integration with the enterprise network.
Single-mode and BiDi fiber plant, outdoor comm stations, Ethernet-over-copper extenders, DOCSIS and broadband last mile, and the splice, termination and documentation that make a corridor network maintainable.
LoRaWAN, NB-IoT and LTE-M for sensors, meters and low-power roadside nodes; gateways, network servers and the data pipelines that deliver readings to the owner's platform with security and minimal power.
GNSS timing and positioning for roadside units, signal controllers and telemetry; antenna placement, multipath and spoofing considerations, PTP and NTP distribution, and position validation for V2X.
Point-to-point and point-to-multipoint microwave for sites without fiber, and satellite backhaul for the truly remote, with path studies, licensing and failover to cellular.

I-70 corridor cellular coverage survey, visualized by ITS Roads
For Colorado DOT's I-70 mountain corridor connected-vehicle pilot, ITS Roads drove the corridor with a GPS receiver, a radio-frequency survey instrument and video, then reduced and visualized the cellular coverage data for the agency's backend architecture decisions. The same instinct runs through our RSU test benches, camera-vision audits and monitoring reports: measure, then decide.
The I-70 pilot
Our Northern Virginia engineering lab, nine miles from Washington, DC, has three-phase power, workbenches, gigabit connectivity and secure remote access for client engineers. Toll cabinets, the Colorado RSU test bench, roadside camera cabinets for multi-state smart corridors and camera kits for Streetline's TPAS were all assembled, configured and tested here before shipping to sites across the country.
That approach shortens site work, lets agency staff witness factory tests from anywhere, and means the crew in the bucket truck is hanging a finished, documented panel rather than building one in the weather.
Inside the labConnected-vehicle programs, ITS field equipment, smart corridors and intersections, standards conformance, monitoring and staff augmentation. Available through state marketplaces including the Covendis MSP in Colorado, Tennessee, Connecticut and Oregon.
Engineering and technical support for new and legacy toll systems, troubleshooting and overflow maintenance, real-time monitoring, open road tolling roadside and host design, RFP packages, acceptance testing and vision-based traffic audits. We support agencies and integrators; we do not compete as a toll system integrator.
