The start point for the best source of fleet information |
Traffic information provider Inrix has added real-time road weather conditions to its mobile app, offering the ability to alert the driver to dangerous situations on the road before they happen.
Dubbed Road Weather, Inrix claims the system can provide information on road conditions - including type of precipitation, surface conditions and levels of visibility - every 15 minutes.
The app was developed in conjunction with Global Weather Corporation and it uses data from Inrix's network of sensors, which are combined with the weather giant's algorithms to predict road conditions.
"Inrix has been focused on making driving not only more efficient, but also safer," said Bryan Mistele, founder and chief executive officer of the company.
"Road Weather is another innovative next step that continues our work to use massive amounts of big data and leading-edge technology to make connected cars safer and cities smarter," Mistele added.
The firm claimed 30% of European traffic fatalities each year are down to slippery roads and bad visibility.
