GeoDecisions selects Inrix for Irris

KIRKLAND, Wash., June 30 (UPI) -- GeoDecisions has selected Inrix to provide its real-time traffic flow and incident data technology to support a partnership with the U.S. Defense Department.

U.S. company GeoDecisions announced plans to integrate Inrix's traffic flow and incident data into the company's Irris Web application portal supporting mission critical and emergency response decision-making.

GeoDecisions developed the Irris application under a partnership with the U.S. Defense Department as part of an effort to support the military with transportation security and logistics with geospatial solutions.

"With the ability to access Inrix's comprehensive yet precise traffic information, customers using GeoDecisions' Irris portal will be better able to anticipate traffic congestion and hazardous road conditions and plan or adapt their routes accordingly," Bryan Mistele, Inrix president and chief executive officer, said in a statement.

"Together with GeoDecisions we are helping the U.S. military and Homeland Security optimize their logistical operations to ensure they have the safest and most efficient means available for transportation routing."
