Seattle-based traffic data company 163 Inrix is working on a feature that will provide Toll road users with detailed real-time data on traffic speeds, travel times and incidents by dedicated lanes versus general purpose lanes.
This data will allow constantly updated reports on relative speeds in general lanes versus express lanes and other parallel roads and will allow for more accurate routing. Drivers should be able to start getting data which will enable them to know what their time savings will be on Toll express lanes for different trips relative to using untolled lanes. Together with current Toll rates this will allow calculation of the cost per minute saved.
The data will be available by subscription directly from Inrix or it can be deployed in a variety of third party applications used for route selection and mapping of routes by in-car or mobile navigation systems.
