Arity, a subsidiary of The Allstate Corporation, has entered a definitive agreement to acquire the remaining ownership interest in Replica, a transportation data and analytics company. Pulse 2.0 reported the deal, which is expected to close during 2026 subject to customary closing conditions. The price was not disclosed.
Arity is a Chicago-based mobility intelligence company that analyzes driving information for insurance pricing, risk assessment, marketing and road safety applications. Replica develops data analytics and modeling technology that helps transportation agencies, urban planners and infrastructure owners understand how people travel and interact with communities.
Arity's Deal for Replica's Remaining Stake
Replica's 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 with Arity's driving behavior intelligence and INRIX's transportation network data, which Arity acquired in a deal announced in October 2026.
Replica emphasizes privacy-centric data analysis, enabling organizations to study large-scale travel behavior without directly identifying individual travelers. Its technology also supports scenario modeling, letting customers examine potential outcomes from changes in infrastructure, development or transportation policy.
Gary Hallgren, president of Arity, said: "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."
Nick Bowden, co-founder and president of Replica, said: "Replica was founded on the belief that better decisions start with understanding how people actually live, work, and move through their communities." He added that joining Arity and INRIX lets Replica bring that human understanding to a broader view of transportation.
Arity, founded in 2016, 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.
