At the Telematics Detroit industry conference today, INRIX® announced a comprehensive suite of INRIX Connected Services solutions for navigation devices, telematics services and other in-car applications. The INRIX Connected Services platform encompasses the world’s first ‘third generation’ routing engine, dynamic traffic data covering 800,000 miles of roadways, additional location-relevant content, and a developer zone designed to greatly simplify creation of location-based service applications.
World’s First ‘Third Generation’ Routing Service
INRIX is introducing the world’s first ‘third generation’ routing service which goes beyond current state-of-the-market “traffic avoidance” routing algorithms to incorporate real-time, predictive and historical traffic information providing consumers with accurate fastest-route calculations. INRIX technology enables the ability to anticipate traffic and road conditions along potential routes, over the course of time. INRIX routing algorithms can intelligently evaluate multiple routes and apply the most relevant fusion of traffic information available across each segment of roadway along the entire  route. This groundbreaking service looks into the future to determine how traffic is expected to change along the course of travel – a breakthrough in providing better routes and more accurate travel times to consumers.
Total Fusion
INRIX also announced the availability of INRIX Total Fusion, the first traffic data service that intelligently combines real-time, predictive and historical traffic information for over 800,000 miles of roadways across the U.S. INRIX Total Fusion is the ideal solution for a rich connected navigation experience, providing speed information for busy city streets and congested arterials in addition to major freeways and the entire U.S. interstate highway system.
Connected Services Content and Developer Zone
The INRIX Connected Services platform seamlessly integrates Total Fusion traffic data and time-intelligent, traffic-influenced routing with other dynamic content aggregated by INRIX including map data, fuel prices, weather, movie times, local search and more.
INRIX has partnered with best-of-breed companies – including Tele Atlas, deCarta, Clear Channel, OPIS and others – to aggregate the highest quality location-relevant content and geospatial services available. Customers of INRIX will gain direct access to the INRIX Connected Services platform and content via the new INRIX Developer Zone, when the site launches in mid-June.
“Today’s announcement marks an important evolution for INRIX from being solely a traffic data information provider to a company focused on delivering customized solutions – with traffic at its core – for connected devices,” commented Bryan Mistele, INRIX president and CEO. “We are enabling our customers to swiftly achieve their go-to-market strategies by providing a one stop shop for location-relevant content along with a suite of developer tools for easy access to our content and services. As costs come down across all segments, device makers need to differentiate – this is their catalyst to stay competitive.”

INRIX Announces World’s First
‘Third Generation’ Routing Engine
Sophisticated, time-intelligent routing service combines real-time, historical and predictive traffic data to deliver dramatically improved routes to end-users
Everyone knows that traffic changes over time. But until now, traffic routing engines were unable to take this simple fact into account. By delivering the world’s first “third-generation” routing engine, INRIX offers a sophisticated time-intelligent, traffic-influenced routing solution.
As navigation devices evolve to provide ever-greater levels of customer value, INRIX is delivering the ability to provide the richest user experience for turn-by-turn routing. Leveraging the temporal nature of traffic information on all road segments along potential routes – including highways, inter-urban roads and arterials, INRIX routing algorithms can intelligently evaluate multiple routes and apply the most relevant fusion of traffic information available, in time across each segment of roadway along the entire route.
INRIX looks into the future to determine how traffic is expected to change along the course of travel – a true breakthrough in providing better routes and travel times to consumers.
