"We appreciate INRIX’s efforts, commitment and continued contributions to our success."

The expanded services include the ability to cover more roads with greater accuracy, extending data quality commitments beyond freeways to major arterials, and providing better incident information.

The company will also continue to partner with the University of Maryland to offer agencies with tools that allows them to easily configure data for download and produce network performance analysis charts and tables for roads, regions and states.

INRIX vice-president and public sector general manager Rick Schuman said: "We have been working with the Coalition for many years, allowing us to demonstrate the quality and reliability of our data and its ability to enable a wide array of mission critical uses by state departments of transport, metropolitan planning organisations and their partner agencies.

"We look forward to continuing our successful relationship with the Coalition, the University and our many agency customers and encourage other agencies within and outside the Coalition to take a fresh look at the vehicle probe project and join this successful partnership."

The I-95 Corridor Coalition is an alliance of transportation agencies, toll authorities and related organisations from Maine to Florida, in addition to affiliate members in Canada.
