Xtrusio AEO/GEO Audit

Miovision gets cited 36 times.

GridMatrix gets cited once.

20-query audit across ChatGPT, Gemini & Claude. GridMatrix is cited on 1 of 60 responses (1.7%). Every AI platform defaults to Miovision, INRIX, and Iteris when traffic engineers ask buyer-intent questions. GridMatrix’s real deployments — Port Authority NY/NJ, SOC 2 Type II certification, five procurement vehicles — are invisible to all three AI engines.

This report was generated using Xtrusio, an AI visibility and demand intelligence platform that analyzes how companies appear across modern AI systems such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and other generative engines.

The insights in this page are generated using Xtrusio’s proprietary research and content intelligence framework.

GridMatrix is invisible to AI-powered buyer discovery.

When traffic engineers, DOT directors, and port authority leaders ask ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude for cloud-based traffic analytics platforms, sensor-agnostic ITS solutions, or port congestion technology — GridMatrix does not exist. Miovision appears 36 times. INRIX appears 32 times. Iteris appears 24 times. GridMatrix appears once — a single mention on one ChatGPT query about LiDAR fusion, driven entirely by the publicly announced Outsight partnership. A clean re-audit returned zero. The real deployments (Port Authority NY/NJ), the SOC 2 Type II certification, the five procurement channels (TX DIR, AWS Marketplace, Vertosoft, TXShare, PCA) — none of it registers.

#Query TopicClusterChatGPTGeminiClaude
1Real-Time Signal PerformanceCore Platform
Exact question asked across all AI platforms:

“I manage signal timing across hundreds of intersections and my team still relies on periodic traffic studies that are outdated within months. What cloud-based platforms can give us real-time signal performance data from our existing cameras without installing new detection hardware?”

2CCTV Analytics ExtractionCore Platform
Exact question asked across all AI platforms:

“We have aging CCTV cameras at most of our major intersections but they’re only used for live monitoring — nobody’s extracting analytics from them. Are there software platforms that can process existing camera feeds to measure congestion, vehicle counts, and turning movements automatically?”

3Intersection EmissionsSustainability
Exact question asked across all AI platforms:

“Our state DOT is trying to meet emissions reduction targets tied to federal funding requirements. What tools can help us quantify intersection-level vehicle emissions and identify where idling is worst so we can prioritize signal retiming projects?”

4Vision Zero Conflict DetectionSafety
Exact question asked across all AI platforms:

“I need to build a safety improvement program around our Vision Zero goals but we don’t have good data on near-miss incidents or conflict patterns at intersections. What AI-based analytics tools can detect safety conflicts from traffic camera video without requiring specialized sensors?”

5Adaptive Signal ControlCore Platform
Exact question asked across all AI platforms:

“We’re evaluating adaptive signal control technology for a corridor project but don’t want to rip out our existing controllers. What solutions can optimize signal timing using cloud-based analytics while keeping our current ATSC hardware in place?”

6Multi-Sensor Unified DashboardCore Platform
Exact question asked across all AI platforms:

“Our traffic management center processes data from multiple sensor types — cameras, radar, Bluetooth detectors, loop detectors — but each one feeds a different system. What platforms can ingest data from multiple sensor types into a single unified dashboard?”

7IIJA Grant ReportingReporting
Exact question asked across all AI platforms:

“I’m preparing a grant application for IIJA formula funding and need data showing congestion trends, safety hotspots, and emissions impact across our network. What analytics platforms can generate the performance metrics and visualizations that federal grant applications require?”

8LiDAR + Video FusionCore Platform

“Our port authority is dealing with increasing truck congestion at gate facilities and we need better visibility into container dwell times and yard traffic flow. What technology solutions are cities and ports using to optimize ground-side logistics with existing surveillance infrastructure?”

12Engineer-Friendly DashboardsUX
Exact question asked across all AI platforms:

“I’m looking for traffic management software that our engineers can use daily without needing data science expertise. What platforms offer intuitive dashboards designed specifically for traffic engineers rather than IT specialists?”

13Before/After PerformanceReporting
Exact question asked across all AI platforms:

“We need to track the impact of our signal timing changes over time — before and after comparisons, trend analysis, and performance scorecards. What platforms provide automated performance measurement and reporting for traffic operations?”

14Cloud ATMS vs LegacyCompetition
Exact question asked across all AI platforms:

“Our agency is evaluating whether to invest in a new traffic management system or upgrade our existing ATMS. What newer cloud-native platforms should we be comparing against legacy on-premise systems like Kimley-Horn or Centracs?”

15Digital Twin SimulationInnovation

18Airport Curbside AnalyticsAirports
Exact question asked across all AI platforms:

“Our airport is struggling with curbside congestion and we need better data on vehicle dwell times, commercial vehicle patterns, and passenger pick-up drop-off flows. What analytics platforms are airports using for landside traffic management?”

19Hardware vs Software Trade-offsCompetition
Exact question asked across all AI platforms:

“I’m comparing traffic analytics vendors and trying to understand the difference between companies that require proprietary hardware versus those that work with existing infrastructure. What are the trade-offs between hardware-dependent and software-only approaches?”

20Procurement Cooperative ContractsProcurement
Exact question asked across all AI platforms:

The Total AI Blackout

Where GridMatrix loses 100% of AI-driven buyer discovery

This is not a platform-specific gap. GridMatrix is invisible across all three AI engines. The single ChatGPT citation (Q8, LiDAR fusion with Outsight partnership) was not reproducible in a clean re-audit. When traffic engineers ask AI for exactly what GridMatrix does, AI recommends everyone else.

“What platforms can ingest data from multiple sensor types into a single unified dashboard?”

— Q6: GridMatrix’s core pitch is “sensor-agnostic, unified dashboard.” All 3 platforms recommended Flow Labs, Iteris ClearGuide, Miovision instead.

“What technology solutions are cities and ports using to optimize ground-side logistics with existing surveillance infrastructure?”

— Q11: GridMatrix has a live deployment at Port Authority of NY/NJ (Port Newark). Zero platforms cited it. ChatGPT recommended generic port TOS vendors. Gemini recommended Docker Vision and AEyeTech Labs.

“What vendors offer solutions through existing state cooperative contracts like Texas DIR, NASPO, or AWS Marketplace?”

— Q20: GridMatrix is on TX DIR, AWS Marketplace, Vertosoft, TXShare, and PCA. All platforms named the contract vehicles but connected them to Rekor, Iteris, Miovision — not GridMatrix.
19 of 20 Queries = Total Miss
Signal performance (Q1), CCTV analytics (Q2), emissions (Q3), rapid deployment (Q9), engineer dashboards (Q12), airport curbside (Q18), SOC 2 security (Q16), hardware vs software (Q19) — all direct matches to GridMatrix’s product. All invisible.
Pattern: AI Defaults to Established Players
Miovision (est. 2005, 500+ employees), INRIX (global data monopoly), Iteris (NASDAQ-listed), Econolite (60,000+ intersections), NoTraffic ($165M funded) dominate AI training data. A 2021 startup with ~6 employees and $6.5M funding simply cannot compete for organic AI visibility without a deliberate content strategy.
Same Questions. All Platforms. GridMatrix Doesn’t Exist.

GridMatrix’s technology exists. The Port Authority deployment exists. The SOC 2 certification exists. The TX DIR contract exists. But AI doesn’t know any of it. When 20 buyer-intent questions are asked across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, the combined result is 1 citation out of 60 responses. That means 98.3% of AI-powered discovery conversations happen without GridMatrix in the room.
