163 Inrix Road Weather, the latest product from Inrix, uses data from connected cars and weather predictions to provide information on road conditions with updated alerts every 15 minutes. The system, developed in collaboration with Global Road Weather Corporation, provides information including type of precipitation, surface conditions and visibility.

Using a broad set of public and private data sources, real-time vehicle sensor data and forecast modeling technology from Global Weather Corporation, Inrix Road Weather keeps drivers and their vehicles informed of dangerous road conditions ahead.

Road condition information collected by Inrix is analysed and transmitted to other vehicles and mobile applications giving drivers timely information allowing them to adjust their route or driving behaviour before encountering the problem. The service can also be used by public transportation and road maintenance agencies, and assist emergency service personnel to manage traffic flow before an accident occurs.
