Every day, millions of drivers share the road — and too often, unsafe conditions, sudden slowdowns, and overlooked infrastructure flaws lead to preventable incidents.
INRIX Safety Analytics is changing that story by turning billions of data points from connected vehicles, traffic sensors, and roadway systems into clear, actionable insights. Instead of waiting for accidents to happen, cities and agencies can now see patterns, pinpoint risk, and respond before problems escalate. With INRIX Safety Solutions, safety isn’t just a reaction — it’s a proactive strategy.
What is INRIX Safety Solutions?
INRIX Safety Solutions was developed to help cities, agencies, and organizations detect, analyze, and respond to roadway risks faster and smarter. It is a set of tools that turns real-time data into actionable insights for safer streets. Using connected vehicle data, traffic sensors, and advanced analytics, INRIX delivers a clearer picture of what’s happening on the road — and what can be done to prevent accidents.
Key Features That Save Lives
Drivewyze Smart Roadways — In‑Cab Slowdown & Congestion Alerts
Drivewyze Smart Roadways, powered by real‑time INRIX data, delivers critical safety alerts directly into commercial vehicle cabs—via always‑on ELDs or mobile devices—typically 2–3 miles before hazardous slowdowns or unexpected congestion. Traffic patterns are monitored continuously, and when INRIX algorithms detect sudden speed drops or abnormal congestion, geo‑targeted messages like “Sudden Slowdown Ahead” or “Congestion Ahead” are triggered only for trucks approaching the hazard. Studies show that between 22% and 26% of drivers receiving these alerts reduce speed by at least 5 mph within 30 seconds.
HELP Alerts for Emergencies
INRIX HELP Alerts provides a robust, nationwide emergency alert system that delivers Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) directly to mobile phones—without app downloads or pre‑registration. Transportation agencies can draw geofenced zones around affected areas and instantly activate alerts that inform drivers of major incidents—such as severe crashes, hazardous weather, or road closures—and offer an optional two‑way communication channel for stranded motorists to share their status or request assistance. The system’s real-time integration with INRIX traffic data ensures agencies get precise situational awareness while travelers receive clear, official guidance when they need it most. This seamless communication helps agencies contain secondary crashes and deliver actionable updates during emergencies—making HELP Alerts a crucial tool in high-impact road incident management.
Safety Analytics Platform
The Safety Analytics platform provides a powerful, cloud-based tool for agencies to analyze crash data, speed trends, and road user behavior. Users benefit from interactive tools to pinpoint high‑risk segments based on specific criteria, supported by both national FARS data and agency-supplied local crash records. Quarterly updates to speed, volume, and VRU datasets enable near real‑time evaluation of safety interventions—meaning agencies don’t have to wait for annual reports to see if countermeasures are working. Easy-to-use visualizations and time‑based comparison tools help planners assess project impacts over time, prioritize corridors for investment, and integrate equity considerations into Vision Zero and Safe Streets strategies.
Turning Data Into Safer Roads
Safety Solutions is already transforming how cities, agencies, and fleets improve road safety. In Las Vegas, analytics revealed that 77% of fatal crashes occurred on just 11% of roadways, allowing officials to focus resources where they were needed most. Truck fleets using Drivewyze in‑cab alerts have seen fewer hard‑braking incidents — meaning fewer close calls and collisions. INRIX equips cities to pinpoint and fix dangerous corridors, fleets to protect drivers with real‑time hazard alerts, and agencies to invest smarter in infrastructure. As mobility evolves, INRIX is layering in AI‑driven insights, such as INRIX Compass, paving the way for even smarter, faster, and more equitable safety planning.
