Design, engineering and project management consultancy 1677 Atkins has signed a global partnership agreement with connected car services and transportation analytics provider 163 Inrix.

The agreement will provide Atkins’ engineers and project managers with access to Inrix XD Traffic, which delivers accurate real-time traffic information across five million miles (eight million kilometres) of road in over 47 countries; Inrix Roadway Analytics, which offers quick and easy access to in-depth roadway performance analysis and visualisations; and Inrix Trips, which provides accurate insights to better understand the movement of people and the journeys they take.

The data will enable traffic information from millions of miles of road to improve master planning, influence the design phase of transport modelling and meet the demands of new intelligent mobility opportunities. It is predicted that the improved insights into the way people travel could help reduce congestion and improve air quality in cities.
