New INRIX Traffic App for iPhone and iPad Helps Drivers Avoid Gridlock

INRIX, a provider of traffic information and driver services, has introduced a new app for the iPhone and iPad that helps drivers take control of their commute and avoid traffic. The company said that INRIX Traffic helps cut the cost of gridlock with the following features:

• Fastest Routes to Home and Work: Drivers can easily decide which route is the best choice to get around traffic, as the app analyses the effect accidents, sporting events, concerts, and other events have on traffic to deliver the fastest routes with the least delay.
• Recommended Departure and Travel Times: The INRIX Traffic Forecast Slider shows drivers the best options for avoiding frustrating delays now and in the future.
• Share INRIX Arrival Times: Users can send their INRIX Arrival Time instantly to any contact with just a few taps.
• Personalized Traffic Alerts: Drivers can tune their app to alert them to accidents and other incidents causing delays along their route.

“We’re putting 100 million traffic reporters into the palm of your hand,” said Kevin Foreman, INRIX vice president of Consumer Applications. “Our latest release helps drivers never be late again.”

The new INRIX Traffic App is available as a free, ad-free download for iPhone; iPad and iPod Touch from the Apple App Store.
