NTCIP Conformance
Testing
Trevilon Corporation offers state-of-the-art
NTCIP conformance testing using the most up-to-date ENTERPRISE test
procedures maintained by Trevilon System Engineers and
Consultants. Once NTCIP equipment has been procured, it is
crucial to perform the necessary tests to ensure that it complies
with the project requirements. Trevilon is the industry leader
in testing services for NTCIP with its services sought after by
State Department of Transportations including VDOT, WSDOT, MnDOT,
ADOT, SDDOT, ODOT, NCDOT and
GDOT and a variety of manufacturers.
During his tenure at Iteris, Trevilon
President Kenneth L. Vaughn, P.E. managed the development of the
NTCIP Exerciser approved by the NTCIP Joint Committee. In addition
to his work with the Joint Committee, he has worked with ENTERPRISE
to produce test procedures for Dynamic Message Signs (DMS) and
Environmental Sensor Stations (ESS). Trevilon has completed
development of NTCIP test procedures for Closed Caption Television
(CCTV) also with ENTERPRISE, I-95 Corridor Coalition, ADOT and the
Federal Highway Administration. Test procedures can be found
in the library section.
Often times with new implementations, areas of
non-conformance are identifiable. Due to our expertise in the
area of NTCIP, we are able to identify the exact NTCIP requirement
not being met and the likely causes in the software design as to why
the implementation does not perform correctly.
We can include in your quote:
-
on-site testing of the DMS, ESS or CCTV
equipment, including reasonable efforts to alter conditions to
ensure proper values are returned (e.g., covering a photocell to
decrease ambient light and ensure that the sign dims)
-
fees for the use, rental, and maintenance
of Test Procedures, testing tools, connectors, etc.
-
travel for Trevilon personnel to access
the site
-
reasonable efforts to investigate any
anomalies that are detected to determine what may be causing the
problem
-
a report documenting the test results
-
a certification document stating that we
performed the tests and that the device passed (provided it did of
course)
-
a report documenting the test results
The test of a message sign requires roughly
one week of on-site presence; we generally are able to schedule one
of our qualified staff to perform such a test as long as we are
given a 30-day notice and a 45-day window to perform the test (i.e.,
the actual test would be performed within 75-days of notice). The
exact week for the test would be identified at the start of notice.
We also need to know the exact features which
are to be tested prior to scheduling so that we know the exact
communication details and so that we can start preparing the test
plan.
Testing services can be performed on-site or
remotely depending on accessibility, time restraints, and other
requirements. Request a quote today by emailing kvaughn@trevilon.com or call
