ATLANTA – April 20, 2009 – AirSage, the world leader in patented technology which turns real-time cell phone signals into meaningful location, movement and traffic data, recently released results from a month-long, independent quality test showing that AirSage’s Real-Time Traffic (ART™) solution delivers high-quality data to current customers such as Google Maps, as well as others across 127 U.S. markets.
GeoStats, an independent, third-party testing firm, conducted traffic verification tests on highways and arterials in Detroit, New York and San Diego to measure the overall quality of AirSage’s Real-Time Traffic (ART) data.
GeoStats drove more than 11,800 miles during comprehensive testing to collect GPS data points which then served as ground truth data for the comparison to AirSage data.
In Detroit, New York and San Diego, AirSage performed very well on highways reporting accurate congestion levels 91% of the time. On arterials, AirSage reported congestion correctly 93% of the time on average proving that real-time data on arterials is possible.
“With our carrier and network switch relationships, we don‘t need to rely on historical data to provide accurate arterial speeds,” said Cy Smith, CEO of AirSage. “With these test results, we have independently validated our accuracy, even down to the arterial level. Together, our accuracy and coverage give AirSage the single highest quality real-time traffic data available.”
In late 2008, after months of research and development, AirSage released a significant upgrade to its software and technology platform which enabled AirSage to deliver such high-quality test results. AirSage employs scientists, engineers and mathematicians to continually develop and refine precise algorithms and software to calculate accurate traffic speeds and flow.
The independent traffic verification report was paid for by a third party and is available at www.airsage.com/test.
