Today (16 March 2023), LCRIG Associate Member, INRIX UK, has announced INRIX® IQ Signal Analytics is now available in the United Kingdom.
Signal Analytics delivers junction and corridor analytics in an easy to use yet powerful cloud-based platform designed for all levels of traffic professionals – management, engineering, operations and maintenance.
INRIX Signal Analytics has already been adopted by Transport for Greater Manchester, and Kent and Hertfordshire Local Highways Authorities in the UK, as well as public sector agencies in Germany and United States.
Signals Analytics is a junction analytics platform based exclusively on anonymous connected vehicle data, which calculates industry-defined metrics including control delay, turn movements and observed vehicle counts in a cost-effective way. Networkwide metrics are reported weekly and presented in an intuitive, web-based application available through INRIX IQ, a SaaS application suite for uncovering mobility insights.
Signal Analytics uses hundreds of millions of anonymous trips per day in the UK to deliver granular insights on signal-controlled junctions. With high accuracy vehicle data continually collected, it delivers key metrics necessary to fully understand junction and corridor performance.
Dominic Paulo, Director at INRIX said: “A Small Business Research Initiative project overseen by Department for Transport tested the viability of using FCD for such a service.
“Signal Analytics leverages this high quality data to provide a transformational approach for understanding signal performance via a robust set of visualisations and analytics tools that transforms complex data into easily understood metrics. Signal Analytics will further enable road authorities across the UK to fully understand signal performance, saving time, money, and help to further improve the environment.”
Reducing excessive delays and optimising signal timings at junctions has a direct and immediate benefit of reducing carbon emissions from unnecessary idling. INRIX calculated a 10-second reduction in every registered vehicle’s delay at signals daily would translate into 130,000 fewer metric tons of CO2 emitted annually.
