Engineering lab and NOC in Northern Virginia, nine miles from Washington, DC

The ITS Roads engineering lab

Nine miles from Washington, DC and twenty minutes from Ashburn's Data Center Alley. Where roadside systems are built on the bench, tested against the standard and documented before the first truck roll.

Facility

Built for bench work that matches the field

Three-phase power, workbenches, tooling and staging floor for cabinets up to walk-in size
Gigabit connectivity, isolated test networks and secure VPN access so client engineers can witness tests remotely
Instrumented RSU test bench: roadside and onboard units, GNSS, PoE switching, signal-controller I/O, SNMP and monitoring tooling, packet capture
Power and solar test capability: DC loads, UPS runtime, battery and charge-controller evaluation
Camera and analytics bench for lens, frame-rate and night-performance checks before field deployment
Secure storage, receiving and packing by site, with serial and MAC manifests

The lab is shared with our PYLON Data Center Services team, which stages and burn-in tests data-center equipment for Northern Virginia facilities, so rack, power and cabling disciplines carry straight across to the roadside.

What has been built here

Toll lane cabinet back panel with controllers and power supplies — Toll lane cabinet panels for Florida's Turnpike open road tolling, pre-assembled and configured before shipping

Roadside units with GNSS antennas on a wire rack by the window — Colorado DOT RSU test bench with units from two manufacturers

Signal controller I/O test panel with relay boards — Signal-controller I/O panel for bench testing connected-vehicle applications

Solar trailer with raised panels in the lab — Solar mobile RSU trailer build

Dressed wiring harness and relay boards — Panel wiring to NEC color conventions with ferrules and labeled terminals

Network test instrument and PoE switches — Network and PoE test instruments on the bench rack

Why it matters

Less time on the shoulder

A finished, tested panel hangs in an hour. One assembled in the field takes a day and a lane closure, and the mistakes show up in winter.

Witnessed tests

Agencies and primes can attend factory tests in person or over a secure link, sign the test record, and know what is arriving.

Documentation that matches reality

Wiring diagrams, BOMs and work instructions are written from the bench build, not before it, so the as-built is the design.
