New Report Proves the Exceptional Quality of INRIX Vehicle Probe
Data
Today, we’re proud to
share the results of a new report revealing the exceptional quality of INRIX
probe data and its value to transportation agencies worldwide. Conducted by the
University of Maryland on behalf of the 16 state I-95 Corridor Coalition, the
largest ongoing analysis of traffic data quality in the world found INRIX
traffic speeds and travel times consistently met, and typically far exceeded
the accuracy requirements of the Coalition. Of particular note, the report
shows how INRIX quality continues to improve over time under increasingly more
challenging tests conducted following major weather events and other incidents
having an immediate and dramatic impact on traffic conditions.
Read INRIX blog post where Ted Trepanier, INRIX Director of Product
Management, shares the key findings as well as how he sees the value of vehicle
probe data for agencies of all sizes for daily operations, agency planning and
performance measurement, regardless of the current level of agency development.
