Arity, a Chicago-based mobility intelligence company and subsidiary of The Allstate Corporation, has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the remaining ownership interest in Replica, a transportation data and analytics company. The planned acquisition expands Arity’s mobility intelligence capabilities following its completed acquisition of INRIX.
The transaction is expected to close during 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
Replica develops data analytics and modeling technology that helps transportation agencies, urban planners, infrastructure owners, and other organizations understand how people travel and interact with communities.
Its platform uses large-scale datasets and machine learning to analyze transportation patterns, evaluate potential changes, and support infrastructure planning decisions.
The acquisition will combine Replica’s mobility modeling capabilities with Arity’s driving behavior intelligence and INRIX’s transportation network data.
Arity analyzes large volumes of driving information to develop insights supporting insurance pricing, risk assessment, marketing, and road safety applications.
INRIX provides transportation network intelligence, including information about how roads and traffic systems perform.
Replica contributes a broader view of how people move through communities using different transportation modes.
Together, the three businesses are intended to provide a more comprehensive understanding of mobility, covering individual travel behavior, transportation system performance, and community-level movement patterns.
The combined capabilities could help public agencies evaluate infrastructure investments, anticipate travel demand, and assess how transportation changes might affect neighborhoods and businesses.
Transportation consultants and commercial organizations may also use the platform to evaluate mobility patterns and support planning decisions.
Replica emphasizes privacy-centric data analysis and modeling, enabling organizations to study large-scale travel behavior without relying on direct identification of individual travelers.
Its technology also supports scenario modeling, allowing customers to examine potential outcomes associated with changes in infrastructure, development, or transportation policy.
The proposed acquisition advances the mobility intelligence strategy Arity outlined following its acquisition of INRIX.
Arity believes organizations can make better decisions when previously separate transportation datasets are analyzed together.
The transaction also supports Allstate’s investment in data, analytics, and mobility-related technologies.
Founded in 2016, Arity has developed a platform that uses data covering trillions of miles of driving behavior to generate insights for insurers, commercial partners, and public-sector organizations.
By adding Replica’s technology, Arity intends to expand beyond driving-specific analysis and provide broader information about how transportation systems connect people, businesses, and communities.
KEY QUOTES
“Transportation connects people to opportunity and businesses to markets, but the intelligence has been fragmented. By bringing together Arity, INRIX, and Replica, we are connecting that intelligence to give customers a more complete understanding of mobility and help them make better decisions.”
Gary Hallgren, President Of Arity
“Replica was founded on the belief that better decisions start with understanding how people actually live, work, and move through their communities. Our data, applications, and scenario modeling show how people and infrastructure connect – and how operational or policy decisions might change those connections. Joining Arity and INRIX lets us bring that human understanding to a much broader view of transportation.”
Nick Bowden, Co-Founder And President Of Replica
