How Will Big Data Improve Transportation Planning & the Driver Experience?
Anyone can navigate traffic on a typical day, but who can recall a day that was free of collisions, unexpected delays, construction or events? INRIX XD™ Traffic provides a look at the next generation of urban mobility, a new system and new way of understanding traffic on a granular level with increased quality and coverage of the road network. This means traffic, incident, and alert data on ramps, primary and secondary arterials, and roads currently under served by existing technologies.
