Whether your company markets to or operates a field service, long-haul or local fleet, traffic and fuel prices can significantly impact your ability to meet schedule, costs and customer expectations. INRIX can help curb these impacts to your business by providing you with real-time and predictive traffic information to avoid costly delays. Today, many fleet operators route and dispatch using speed limit calculated drive times that don’t factor in the time of day, day of week, or how traffic can impact travel times for the planned route. In addition, the created route may not be the fastest route to get to the location for that time of day.

INRIX provides nationwide real-time and predictive traffic information to solve these issues, allowing you to be more efficient whether you plan jobs and routes in advance or dispatch in real-time.

The American Trucking Association estimates that trucking industry fuel costs will surpass $100 billion in 2006—a nearly 50% increase in the last three years. The INRIX Dynamic Fuel Prices service provides detailed information about service stations, including key fuel price information by type of gasoline, updated hourly for 100,000 stations across the United States. This enables commercial vehicle drivers to save time and money by finding the nearest and most cost effective service station, no matter where they are across the country.

INRIX traffic and fuel price solutions can be integrated into a broad range of transportation and logistics applications (for the Web, desktop, mobile handsets or navigation devices) to allow various users within a company like dispatchers or drivers to leverage this information.
