Roloson Consulting LLC brings decades of real-world experience across tolling, sensing, roadside hardware, field deployment, bench validation, and software-driven system integration. From concept through production, the focus is on building solutions that work reliably in live operating environments.
Laurence Roloson has spent his career bridging field realities with engineering discipline. His background spans tolling systems, laser and lidar sensing, roadside hardware design, embedded and software development, production test environments, and deployment support. The work is rooted in hands-on evaluation, deterministic system behavior, practical documentation, and getting complex systems running under real operating conditions.
Support agencies, integrators, and technology teams that need senior-level execution across sensor trials, system architecture, hardware selection, installation planning, communications design, data pipelines, validation workflows, and field troubleshooting.
The approach combines software, hardware, and deployment thinking in one place. That includes vendor coordination, electrical and PE support, bench testing, data analysis, production-minded documentation, and the ability to identify what will actually matter once a system is placed in service.
In a recent express-lane lidar trial in Fort Worth, Laurence Roloson supported the site from initial concept to live functionality. The effort included working through stamped design support with the PE, helping guide vendor selection, coordinating with the electrical subcontractor, bench-testing sensors, defining the communications approach, integrating the lidar and ALPR data pipeline, securing the server environment behind a 5G firewall, and analyzing collected data to evaluate system behavior and operational readiness.
This was not just a review role. It involved taking a trial location from an early concept stage to a working deployment, aligning hardware, software, networking, and documentation into a system that could be exercised and evaluated under real roadway conditions.
A major strength is shifting risk left. Sensors, data paths, and processing logic are bench-tested as much as possible before they are relied on in the field, reducing cost, uncertainty, and rework during live deployment and acceptance activities.
At Kapsch Traffic Systems, Laurence Roloson served in senior engineering roles supporting some of the most demanding tolling environments in the country. His work combined systems engineering, roadside hardware design, test infrastructure development, installation planning, documentation, and direct deployment support.
Led the engineering and design effort behind the IDRIS tolling system and supporting laser components for a flagship New York State Thruway location. The system has operated continuously since 2016 while meeting or exceeding demanding performance expectations at one of the authority’s highest-revenue sites.
Produced installation plans, vehicle processing documentation, and fabrication-ready hardware drawings. Designed roadside geometry, fixtures, and mounts, and helped standardize mounting hardware for traceability, consistency, and reduced field rework across large deployments.
Built and managed a full-scale test facility used for acceptance testing, integration work, and system validation. That environment helped move critical verification from the field into a more controlled and repeatable setting.
This panel powers roadside peripherals and provides connections for fiber treadles across up to five lanes. It fits a standard 19-inch rack, and plug-in power supply connectors make installation quick and straightforward. A remote interface lets operators power-cycle individual devices without interrupting other equipment, and redundant power supplies keep equipment running if one supply fails.
Roloson Consulting is strongest where sensing, infrastructure, software, and real-world deployment conditions intersect.
Experience combining lidar, lasers, ALPR, transaction logic, and roadside infrastructure into coherent operating systems.
Roadside fixture design, mounting strategy, installation planning, vendor coordination, and deployment support grounded in field realities.
Bench testing, controlled validation, data analysis, anomaly review, and structured troubleshooting for systems already in service.
Clear engineering documentation, communications definitions, install plans, and workflow descriptions built for actual teams in the field.
Strong track record supporting live systems, updates, analysis, and deployment activities remotely over secure connections when needed.
Background spans embedded systems, software, manufacturing environments, roadside systems, and customer-facing deployment execution.
Whether the need is a lidar trial, a tolling or roadside integration effort, a system validation workflow, or senior engineering support on a difficult field problem, Roloson Consulting LLC is built to help move the work forward.
