According to PTV and Inrix, the GPS-based system is cost effective and enables DiRIF to identify congestion hot spots across its network and provide drivers with accurate, real-time information about travel times. It will provide with the information to manage the road networks in the Greater Paris region more effectively, enabling it to achieve its objective of ensuring a high level of performance for its entire road network, as well as providing highly accurate user information.
