Mathematics is coming to a commute near you. The digital revolution of the last twenty years has produced a virtual mountain of data, and as more of the world's information is created, managed and distributed in a digital form, new technologies are making it possible to aggregate this data into systems that solve complex problems such as traffic gridlock.

This session will explore the breakthrough science behind the fusion of data from over 500,000 location-aware vehicles with hundreds of other meta data sources impacting traffic to enable the provision of real-time and predictive traffic information. Learn about real-life examples of how companies are using this technology today and highlighting how Web portals, automotive and portable navigation companies, application developers, fleet management, public transportation, and other organizations can apply this technology to their businesses.

Dr. Oliver Downs, Principal Scientist at Inrix Inc., will illustrate how advanced Bayesian predictive modeling combined with rich fusion of location-aware data sources will provide consumers and businesses with reliable, high-quality traffic information in 2006. Downs will also explain what sets this new technology apart from current solutions and how and where you can expect to see this technology in 2006.
