INRIX® today announced the immediate availability of pan-European traffic information and significant investments in expanding the coverage of rich flow data on major road networks throughout Europe.
INRIX is combining its unique and successful traffic data aggregation and intelligent fusion technologies with key strategic partnerships with leading European automobile clubs, commercial vehicle fleets, and research organizations. Leveraging INRIX’s relationship with ARC Transistance – Europe’s largest motoring assistance network whose automobile clubs are 48 million members strong across 43 European countries – and partnerships with ITIS Holdings, TNO, and others, INRIX is pursuing a pan-European strategy for providing real-time, historical and predictive traffic information.
Through its partnership with ARC Transistance, INRIX will distribute to its global customers ARC’s aggregated traffic information – initially available for 16 countries – with significant expansion planned throughout 2008 and 2009. Via INRIX and ARC’s joint efforts, Europe’s leading automobile clubs will receive significantly enriched and expanded traffic offerings available both within individual countries and across the European community. One of the first clubs to benefit from this new partnership is ANWB, the leading automobile club in the Netherlands with over 3.8 million members.
In addition to aggregating country-specific traffic incident information via the automobile club network, INRIX is working with its partners, country by country to develop expanded traffic flow information for major highways, roads and arterials. INRIX is focused on improving the overall quality of traffic information in Europe with its unique method of mining and aggregating data from a combination of intelligent sources including GPS-enabled commercial and consumer vehicles, data collected anonymously from mobile phone devices, traditional road sensor information and cellular GPS data, to create highly accurate road speeds and comprehensive market coverage.
“INRIX has become the leading provider of traffic information in North America in just a few short years and we expect our partnership will enhance this accomplishment,” said Charles Capelleman, product development director, ARC Transistance. “We are excited to leverage our partnership together in offering best-in-class traffic-enabled solutions to our club members as well as our B2B partners in both Europe and North America.”
