INRIX Speed is a cloud-based analytics and data service that provides comprehensive historical, real-time, and average traffic speed and travel time data for roadway segments. The platform aggregates billions of anonymized data points from connected vehicles and devices, offering detailed insights into prevailing and typical traffic conditions for any given time and location. INRIX Speed supports transportation agencies, planners, consultants, advertisers, and retailers by enabling custom traffic analysis, drive time calculations, and routing optimization. The data is available in both archival and profile formats, allowing users to analyze how traffic responded to specific events or to understand typical flow patterns. The service is widely used for improving traffic flow, capacity planning, signal timing, safety analysis, and for applications such as real-time ad triggering and retail site evaluation.
