What each company does: Arity, founded in 2016 and based in Chicago, turns driving-behavior data into intelligence for insurers, brands, and public-sector partners. Replica applies machine-learning models to large datasets to help transportation agencies and urban planners analyze travel patterns while preserving privacy.

Why now? Arity argues mobility intelligence has long been fragmented across separate datasets. "Transportation connects people to opportunity and businesses to markets, but the intelligence has been fragmented," said Gary Hallgren, president of Arity.
Replica co-founder and president Nick Bowden said joining Arity and INRIX lets the company "bring that human understanding to a much broader view of transportation."
The signal: The acquisition reflects a broader push to stitch together scattered mobility data into a single view, extending Arity's reach beyond insurance into transport planning and public-sector work. For customers — agencies, planners, and consultants — the bet is that combined datasets yield better decisions on safety and investment. How much that holds will depend on how the assets are integrated.
