GeoDecisions is integrating INRIX real-time traffic flow and incident data
into the IRRIS portal, an enterprise Web application that supports
transportation security and logistics for U.S. state and federal agencies and
for enterprise applications in the private sector. IRRIS users will now be
able to access INRIX traffic information to obtain current traffic conditions
and support transportation logistics and management, including the transport
of sensitive materials. Leveraging the power of INRIX Connected Services,
GeoDecisions is using the new INRIX Traffic Tile Service to overlay traffic
maps on GeoDecisions' application, which uses the ESRI(R) map platform.

"Our clients demand the most current and accurate information available to
ensure the safety of American citizens," said Brendan Wesdock, vice president.
"INRIX can help us bring flexible, innovative, high-quality technology
solutions to key government operations."  

The IRRIS technology application was developed by GeoDecisions in partnership
with the U.S. military to support the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) with
logistics, location and proximity analysis, data sharing, collaboration,
transportation security and situational awareness. IRRIS integrates and
displays worldwide infrastructure data, live-vehicle tracking, near-real-time
weather, and active route conditions in a map format using a single secure
interface. This technology now serves nearly 2000 users across the Defense
Transportation System.

"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," said Bryan Mistele, INRIX president and CEO.
"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."
