Extraordinary Applications
  • Designed for connected devices, the richness of XD™ Traffic data enables our customers to create highly personalized solutions including:
    • Busy Commuter™. Powers navigation solutions for the everyday driver that always knows the fastest route, best time to leave, travel time and arrival time unique to the customer’s daily travel patterns whether the driver is making deliveries, conducting sales calls or just trying to save time on the daily commute.
    • Traffic Forecasts. Go beyond historical models and their assumptions factoring in traffic speeds, weather conditions, school schedules and scheduled events (sporting events, concerts, etc.) to deliver truly reliable traffic forecasts and ETAs.
    • Traffic Ahead. Alert drivers ahead of accidents they might encounter on their commute and recommend alternative routes as necessary to avoid unexpected delays.
    • Friend Ahead. XD Traffic easily connects with available 3rd party Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for linking drivers to information they care about such as social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook and Foursquare. Drivers can be alerted when friends are close by and determine the best way to meet up.

The XD Traffic badge can be used in applications, advertising, on packaging and at point of sale giving consumers a recognizable seal of quality they can rely on the help them save time, money and use less fuel every day.

INRIX Real-Time Traffic Flow

Ideal for traffic map display, travel times, alerting and other real-time applications, INRIX Real-Time Traffic Flow provides true real-time coverage across each country's roadway network. We do this by blending real-time road sensor data with billions of real-time data points from GPS-enabled commercial and consumer devices in taxis, service vehicles, airport shuttle services, cars, heavy good vehicles (HGV) and long haul delivery trucks.

Today, INRIX delivers real-time speeds for 260,000+ road miles in North America and 50,000+ kilometers throughout 6 countries in Europe.

INRIX Predictive Traffic Flow

INRIX Predictive Traffic Flow accurately predicts the future, anticipating conditions on specific routes for the next few minutes, days, hours or weeks - up to one year ahead. The technology combines input of commonly known traffic-impacting factors such as the current traffic conditions, day of the week, season, holidays and related days, current and forecast weather, accidents and road construction, as well as other events such as school schedules, sports games and concerts. This allows INRIX to make predictions conditioned on dynamic knowledge of current and future conditions, including:

  • Proactive route monitoring throughout the trip, in order to actively re-route drivers to avoid congestion up ahead.
  • Accurate info regarding when congestion is expected to start or clear along a route.
  • More reliable travel time predictions for key routes.

INRIX Historical Traffic Flow

Useful for integration in non-connected devices as well as for performance management by transportation agencies, INRIX Historical Traffic Flow features historical average speeds on individual road segments for 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Average historical speeds are available for 1+ million road miles in North America and 500,000+ kilometers across Europe.

Congestion Alerts

INRIX Congestion Alerts are traffic data feeds that report incidents of unusual and severe congestion in real time. Alerts are available for 20 countries across North America and Europe.

Journalistic Incident Data

INRIX Journalistic Incidents service is based on strategic partnerships with leading regional incident providers, including automobile clubs across Europe and Clear Channel Total Traffic Network in North America. Accidents, construction and other traffic-impacting events are collected from manned traffic operations centers using networks of reporters, traffic cameras and spotters. Building on this data, INRIX offers the impact and estimated duration of a traffic incident - giving individuals and businesses the insight and flexibility to anticipate and avoid traffic delays.

Traffic Maps

INRIX Traffic Overlays include images with vectors representing color-coded traffic conditions on road segments. Overlays of INRIX traffic flow, journalistic incident data and traffic cameras can be delivered to display over your existing map platform, or INRIX can deliver the overlays on a dynamic or static map.

Traffic Cameras

Images from traffic cameras can be sent to mobile phones, displayed on a Web page, or viewed on a connected navigation device. This service is available to INRIX customers via our exclusive partnership with Vizzion, the leading aggregator of traffic camera images.
