Intellione was founded to build a global roadway traffic information network. Chief Technology Officer, and former traffic engineer, Randall Cayford, previously a principal programmer analyst for the Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California, Berkeley, developed the patent-protected software and technologies that turn mobile phone signals and GPS locations into live traffic information on all roadways. This cutting-edge traffic measurement technology has been further refined to deliver real time traffic information in greater detail than ever before possible. Today users of Intellione data can receive traffic information on most all major roads within the Intellione markets. For commuters each day, Intellione traffic can relay live, personalized traffic advice via their mobile phones and the web. For fleet owners, businesses that rely on traffic information or those whose business it is to report on traffic, Intellione delivers the most timely, accurate and actionable traffic data available today. For wireless network operators the Intellione platform can convert everyday signaling data into valuable locations and traffic information giving them another revenue opportunity from data that is already present in the network. Intellione is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia with additional offices located in Pleasant Hill, California, Toronto, Ontario, Canada and Athlone, Ireland.
