About INRIX

INRIX is a market-leading provider of traffic and navigation services to over 90 companies in the automotive, mobile telecom and public sectors who rely on INRIX traffic services everyday to improve how people navigate their world. Built on a foundation that includes the world’s largest crowd-sourced traffic network, INRIX intelligently blends traffic information from hundreds of sources to enable informed driving decisions and deliver smart solutions that advance our customers’ and partners’ businesses.

INRIX provides the broadest traffic coverage in the most locations: 16 countries including real-time traffic flow for over 260,000 miles of roads in the U.S. and Canada and over 420,000 kilometers of pan-European road coverage. INRIX uniquely combines real-time data from traditional sensors, a crowd-sourced network of over 1.6 million GPS-enabled vehicles and devices, the world’s best historical traffic speeds database and hundreds of other traffic impacting factors like accidents, construction and other local variables like sporting events, concerts and weather. And, with the launch of INRIX’s new patent pending SpeedWaves™ technology, accurate real-time traffic information is now available on arterials, city streets and secondary roads, in addition to major highways and interstates, providing more options for navigating consumers around traffic congestion. The combination of highly accurate traffic information, extensive road coverage and the company’s unique connected services offerings –including traveler related services such as weather and safety alerts, fuel prices and traffic cameras – provides INRIX customers with a partner who can help them quickly deliver to market traffic and navigations services for a broad range of in-car, smartphone, desktop, and portable navigation devices.

Highest Quality

INRIX’s commitment to delivering the highest quality traffic and navigation services is fueled by our passion for understanding the causes of traffic congestion and the role technology can play in improving mobility worldwide. Our obsession with quality drives us to analyze the impacts of obvious factors such as accidents, construction and road closures as well as local variables -- weather, concerts, sporting events, and even school schedules – have on traffic conditions. INRIX breakthrough technologies such as Total Fusion, Connected Services, SpeedWaves™ ensures reliable, traffic-influenced navigation, saving drivers time and money while reducing their environmental impact. In an effort to further industry efforts to create standards for analyzing the quality of traffic information, INRIX recently published Benchmarking Traffic Data Quality: Best Practices for Analyzing the Quality of Traffic Information (see Figure 25), which is available at www.inrix.com. This 60-page technical primer provides a benchmark from which to evaluate the many components that make up the quality of traffic information. With respect to data integrity and quality, INRIX leads the industry with its sharp focus on quality using intelligent data fusion, advanced analytics and extensive quality processes.


Broadest Coverage

INRIX provides coverage across more countries and more roadways within markets than any other company. Leveraging its unique Smart Driver Network, INRIX delivers accurate real-time, historical and traffic forecast information for major roads and arterials across 16 countries in North America and Europe. INRIX traffic is available in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Belgium, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Luxemburg, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Switzerland and Austria.


Smart Driver Network

The INRIX Smart Driver Network dramatically advances the accuracy, coverage and quality of traffic information, collecting more data about traffic conditions than any solution on the market today. The Smart Driver Network acquires real-time and historical data from hundreds of public and private sources – including anonymous, real-time GPS probe data from over 1.6 million commercial and consumer vehicles and devices; toll tag data from systems such as California’s FasTrak system; and road occupancy and speed measurements from Departments of Transportation around the country. INRIX was an industry pioneer in intelligently combining all of these data sources into a commercial grade traffic service.


Innovative Technologies

INRIX innovations in predictive, historical and real-time traffic technologies and solutions enable our customers to introduce enhanced products and services using accurate time estimation and dynamic route guidance capabilities – all critical for the next generation of navigation solutions. INRIX’s breakthrough SpeedWavesTM technology improves the accuracy of traffic information on arterials, city streets and secondary roads by up to 70 percent compared to other approaches. Unlike other traffic services that are often inaccurate and unreliable due to speed measurements of vehicles that continually start and stop at traffic lights and stop signs, INRIX’s SpeedWaves accurately calculates profiles of speed distributions per road segment factoring in the impact that stop signs and other traffic control devices have on the billions of data points INRIX receives from its crowd-sourced Smart Driver network. This enables INRIX to use precise, real-time information from these vehicles to accurately report traffic information throughout the road network, resulting in a true picture of actual traffic conditions on secondary roadways. The result is not merely an average of information from separate vehicles traveling on the same roadway, but an analysis of data from individual vehicle reports that accurately determines real-time congestion across the road segment.

Further showcasing the company’s expertise in the mobile technology market, INRIX recently introduced INRIX Traffic! and INRIX Traffic! Pro, the first mobile applications specifically designed for helping drivers improve commutes to the places they go every day. The suite of free and premium apps for iPhone, Android and other platforms leverage INRIX real-time and predictive traffic information to help commuters always know the fastest route, best time to leave, drive time and ETA for any destination.
