Case Study: Genesee Transportation Council improves incident analysis and congestion insights with INRIX Analytics

Genesee Transportation Council Teams with INRIX to Better Analyze Incidents, Improve Congestion Performance and Traveler Safety

Genesee Transportation Council (GTC) needed a better way to analyze the impacts of major roadway incidents on traffic operations, especially after a severe tanker truck crash closed lanes on NYS Route 590 near the I-490/I-590 interchange. GTC turned to INRIX and its INRIX Analytics service to compare incident-day conditions with a control date and assess how the crash affected congestion, travel patterns, and traveler safety.

With INRIX Analytics, GTC used vehicle probe data to measure before-and-after traffic conditions, map travel time index (TTI) changes, and compare results with travel demand model outputs. The analysis showed clear incident impacts on I-590 North and NY 590 South, while I-490 remained mostly stable, helping GTC better understand the crash’s geographic and temporal reach and improve coordination between transportation operators and emergency responders.
