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.

Public Sector Solutions

Leading transportation agencies, consultants, integrators, and academic institutions use INRIX data everyday to accelerate their efforts to improve operations, planning and performance measurement for their road networks.

INRIX traffic information is available to the 16 state I-95 Corridor Coalition and government transportation agencies under contract in 13 states including Alabama, California, Delaware, Florida, Maryland, New Mexico, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. Collaborating with these early adopters, INRIX has been able to refine and hone our product offerings, pricing and licensing terms, as well as demonstrate the value of our data to the public sector.

INRIXTraffic.us is one of the ways INRIX demonstrates its commitment to helping transportation agencies fulfill their requirements for measuring system performance, streamlining operation and delivering new or improved services in a time of ever-tightening budgets and decreased federal support is. INRIXTraffic.us is a free service to aid state DOTs, Highway Patrol/State Police, and state emergency management agencies who own, operate, manage, patrol, and plan the nation’s major highway system. It provides a complete, real-time picture of real-time traffic flow conditions across the U.S.—now covering over 200,000 miles. The site is available 24x7 providing agencies with a new tool to help detect and manage unusual traffic shifts associated with localized weather events, accidents, construction projects, and accelerate agencies efforts to meet the requirements of the new federal regulations on Real Time System Information Management (RTSMIP), http://www.ops.fhwa.dot.gov/1201. INRIXTraffic.us is just one example of the set of cost-effective, easily to implement solutions INRIX offers for meeting compliance.

Quality You Can Trust

Accurate traffic reporting is a function of combining quality sources with world-class analytics. 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 commitment to quality drives us to analyze the impacts of obvious factors such as accidents, road works and road closures as well as local variables—weather, concerts, sporting events, and even school schedules—have on traffic conditions.

However, our obsessive focus on quality extends to improving the systems, processes and methods that validate, measure and verify the accuracy of incoming traffic data to INRIX every minute of every day. Using the Kaizen process, INRIX takes accuracy to new heights turning information into insight drivers can rely on to save time and money—all the while reducing their impact on the environment.

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 23), 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.

Innovative Technologies

INRIX’s continuous cycle of innovation fuels customers’ development of breakthrough navigation and location-based service applications. Our 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.

One example of INRIX innovation at work, our SpeedWaves™ 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 mistakenly treat arterials like stretches of uninterrupted highway, 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.

Building on these breakthroughs, INRIX recently introduced XD™ Traffic—a new premium real-time and predictive traffic service optimized for the delivery of next generation of navigation and driver services applications in the car, on mobile devices and online. XD Traffic removes the remaining quality and reliability barriers holding back the delivery of new traffic-powered applications that make navigation more useful every day.

Today’s navigation apps come in many shapes and forms, ranging from simple color-coded traffic maps in car navigation systems to traffic, speed trap and “social driving” apps on GPS smartphones and other devices. However, the quality of the traffic information powering these solutions varies greatly depending on the provider, delivery method and type of device. Too often, providers miscalculate routes, travel times and ETAs as well as miss important road closures or other traffic impacting events. As a result, automakers and navigation providers have been reluctant to introduce new, more useful traffic-powered solutions over concerns of reliability and customer satisfaction. XD Traffic addresses this challenge.

Further showcasing the company’s expertise in the mobile technology market, INRIX recently introduced INRIX Traffic! and INRIX Traffic! Pro, the first mobile apps to help drivers save time traveling to the places they go every day with the fastest route, recommended departure time, travel time and ETA for any destination.
