Calgary selects Inrix roadway analytics for real-time road performance analysis

The City of Calgary, Canada, has selected Inrix to supply its Roadway Analytics to help the city manage its road network with access to on-demand data to analyse, visualise and understand performance without the need for additional technology investments. The city can also identify and compare locations that are operating sub-optimally to help prioritise road improvement efforts. In addition, Roadway Analytics allows city planners to perform before and after studies to quantify and communicate the impact o

The City of Calgary, Canada, has selected 163 Inrix to supply its  Roadway Analytics to help the city manage its road network with access to on-demand data to analyse, visualise and understand performance without the need for additional technology investments.


The city can also identify and compare locations that are operating sub-optimally to help prioritise road improvement efforts. In addition, Roadway Analytics allows city planners to perform before and after studies to quantify and communicate the impact of road projects; monitor and identify performance trends on roadways; produce and report Key Performance Indicators on travel times and congestion reduction; and monitor, compare and adjust construction zones to minimise the impact on traffic flow.

Launched in 2016, Roadway Analytics provides technical analyses, charts, tables and other visualisations to convey important information and recommendations to drivers, decision makers and the general public. Covering more than five million miles of road in 45 countries, it uses the world's largest traffic data network that is trusted by leading automakers and transportation agencies globally.

  • Study identifies Canada’s worst traffic bottlenecks
    January 12, 2017
    Canada’s top 20 most congested traffic bottlenecks may cover just 65 kilometres, but they collectively cost drivers over 11.5 million hours and an extra 22 million litres of fuel per year. These are two findings of Grinding to a Halt, Evaluating Canada’s Worst Bottlenecks, released by the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA). Studies show that bottlenecks are the single biggest contributor to road delay, far outpacing traffic accidents, inclement weather and construction. The report provides data-based

    An air quality evaluation system that utilises existing data has been modelled on the UK’s motorways and tested in Manchester as Peter Kirby and Paul Grayston describe. It has long been known that emissions from road transport are the principal source of NO2 pollution, especially in the urban environment, and that appropriate transport management can play a big role in meeting environment and public health objectives.

    January 16, 2012
    'Keep it simple, stupid' is an oft-forgotten axiom but in terms of road user charging it is entirely appropriate. So says the ANWB's Ferry Smith. A couple of decades ago, it might have been largely true that the technology aspects of advanced road infrastructure were the main obstacles to deployment. However, 20 years or more of development have led to a situation where such 'obstacles' are often no more than a political fig-leaf. Area-wide Road User Charging (RUC) is a case in point; speak candidly to syst
  • Smoothing out city freight movements
    May 28, 2014
    David Crawford welcomes a national first. Urban freight movements, while commercially and socially vital, are a growing logistical headache for planners and people alike. Figures from France’s Lyon Laboratory of Transport Economics indicate that goods transport in major urban areas accounts for: 20% of traffic; 35% of CO2 emissions made by all urban trips; and 50% of the diesel used; while final km delivery runs account for 20% of the total cost of the transport chain.
