INRIXTraffic.us launched - Free Traffic Operations Service forTransportation Agencies Nationwide

INRIX has launched INRIXTraffic.us -- the first free, Web service to provide state, regional and municipal transportation agencies a complete view of accurate real-time traffic flow on all major highways, interstates, arterials and secondary roads in major cities, rural areas and across state lines.

With an additional 10,000 construction projects from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) added to our nation's already busy roadways this summer, state DOT, highway patrol, and emergency management agency personnel have the need for a tool to better manage traffic operations, emergency response coordination and public safety. Now, by registering at http://inrixtraffic.us/, they can leverage a service that provides a complete, real-time picture of current traffic speeds for more than 160,000 miles of roads nationwide growing to over 260,000 by the end of the year.

INRIXTraffic.us is powered by the largest traffic network in the world that includes crowd-sourced real-time traffic information from more than 2 million GPS-enabled vehicles. Providing a foundation of continuous real-time speed and location reports to INRIX every minute for an average of 7 hours per day, per vehicle, commercial fleets – such as taxi cabs, service delivery vans and long haul trucks – represent the majority of INRIX's network. INRIX intelligently analyzes these reports and data from consumer vehicles, GPS-enabled smartphones, road sensors and hundreds of other sources to deliver a service of unparalleled coverage and quality.

Thirty-seven states now use INRIX Traffic information to power their daily operations, traveler information services and performance measures. INRIXTraffic.US builds upon nearly two years of partnership with The I-95 Corridor Coalition and provides a national version of a site, managed by INRIX, currently in use by dozens of agencies and hundreds of agency employees and contractors along the eastern seaboard. INRIXTraffic.US is open to all public employees – and their onsite contractors – who manage any part of the nation's road network.
