INRIX®, the leading provider of traffic information, today announced that it won two top awards at the Telematics Detroit 2008 conference and exhibit, held this week in Detroit. INRIX President and CEO Bryan Mistele won the Telematics Leadership Award and the company took an award for the Best Use of Telematics Technology for the Public Sector.
“We’re thrilled to be recognized by our peers as a leader in the telematics industry,” said Mistele. “The industry is undergoing a significant evolution and a commitment to quality and innovation is more important than ever. INRIX built its business on those tenets and they’ll remain top priority as we expand into new markets and services.”
