Inrix, a specialist in transportation data and analytics, is showcasing showcase its innovative API and other key products – Signal Analytics, Road Rules, and Compass –at ITS World Congress in Atlanta.
The Inrix Signal Analytics API provides agencies, consultants, and solution providers with detailed metrics on vehicle movements, approaches, and intersection performance. This data can be integrated into existing traffic management platforms, used for before-and-after studies, or included in regional performance dashboards. Results can be tailored by metric, timeframe, and geographic area to meet specific project needs.
“This new API gives our partners direct access to the same trusted, anonymized connected vehicle data that powers our flagship Signal Analytics product, but in a flexible, customizable format,” says Ahmed Darrat, chief product officer at Inrix. “This equips them with the ability to integrate critical signal performance metrics into their own platforms and workflows.”
Built on the same data foundation as the new API, Signal Analytics is the first cloud-based application that uses connected vehicle data to help traffic professionals identify and understand delays at signalized intersections network-wide, without the need for new hardware or an additional application. Already used by more than 30 partner agencies globally, it enables instant performance monitoring with intuitive dashboards, advanced analytics, and direct data integration capabilities to support smarter, faster traffic management decisions.
“We are using Signal Analytics to quantitatively verify the extent of existing issues and the degree of improvement/benefit once we make changes and adjustments,” says Lance Ballard, traffic engineer at Kimley-Horn.
Inrix has also relaunched its urban management product, Road Rules, to help cities digitally manage and communicate curb and travel lane rules, along with related physical infrastructure. The cloud-based application ensures information stays current for a variety of internal and external stakeholders, from autonomous vehicle fleets to delivery operators. Road Rules integrates directly with city agency asset databases to automatically update curb and street policies, helping stakeholders stay informed and comply with the latest regulations.
“Road Rules gives the City more capacity to improve ROW management through data and technology,” says Akshay Malik, smart cities director for Philadelphia. “We can leverage existing data standards from the Open Mobility Foundation to map the ROW in more detail and test new ways to digitally manage it through our pilot in Center City, improving safety for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.”
ITS World Congress attendees can visit Inrix at booth 2012 to see live demonstrations of the Signal Analytics API, Signal Analytics and Road Rules in action. Demos of Signal Analytics will be held at 2pm each day, and Road Rules will be showcased at 11am daily.
