The INRIX Global Traffic Scorecard is the largest study of its kind.
We analyzed and ranked the impact of traffic congestion in:
5 continents | 38 countries | 1,064 cities
Population and economic growth alongside continued urbanization are the root causes of congestion. As cities strive to update or expand aging infrastructure, the application of big data and analytics to understand and help combat traffic congestion is crucial to the health and development of our cities. The INRIX 2016 Global Traffic Scorecard uses a new methodology to provide a data-rich evaluation of urban travel, traffic health and vibrancy for over 1,000 cities around the world.
