Inrix XD Traffic delivers insight into what’s happening on the road independent of the country or map Provider, with features such as: detailed traffic speeds for every mile down to 250 metre increments; map independence; sophisticated analysis of anomalies in traffic flows enables Inrix XD Traffic auto to detect road closures and other incidents faster than today’s crowd-sourced methods; real-time traffic information for every major road type and class from highways, ramps and interchanges to arterials, city streets and other secondary roads.

“Future mobility depends on all drivers, transportation agencies, and news organisations having access to detailed, up to the minute insight into what’s happening on every road, everywhere,” said Bryan Mistele, Inrix president and CEO.  “Just as Inrix revolutionised mapping and navigation with crowd-sourced traffic information and traffic influenced routing, we’re doing it again with Inrix XD Traffic.”
