UrbanVind CrowdFlowX

UrbanVind CrowdFlowX: Full Product Overview

Overview
CrowdFlowX is UrbanVind’s next-generation, plug-and-play sensor platform that captures real-time passenger counts and origin–destination (OD) data directly at the vehicle, all at a fraction of the cost of traditional Automatic Passenger Counters (APCs)

Key Features

• Multimodal Scanning: Simultaneously detects passengers’ Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals to infer boarding and alighting events.

• High Accuracy: Machine-learning models process raw signal data to achieve up to 90 % accuracy in both passenger counts and OD patterns uitpsummit.org.

• Cost Efficiency: Priced at roughly 10 % of conventional APC systems—no expensive retrofits or specialist hardware required.

Technology & Analytics

1. Sensor Hardware

   • BLE & Wi-Fi Receiver: Compact modules that passively scan device signals.

   • On-device Processing: Embedded ML inference minimizes data transfer needs and ensures GDPR-compliant pseudonymization at source.

2. UrbanVindAI Platform

   • Data Ingestion: CrowdFlowX streams anonymized counts and OD tuples into the cloud.

   • AI Agents: Automate insights on peak loads, route performance, and demand forecasting—eliminating reliance on external consultants.

Deployment & Installation

• Three Modes:

  1. Mobile App: Driver’s smartphone runs the CrowdFlowX app.

  2. Console Integration: Software module embeds into existing vehicle consoles/ticketing systems.

  3. Plug-and-Play Device: USB-powered dongle installs in under 2 minutes—no wiring or specialist tools needed.

• Rapid Rollout: Typical fleet-wide installation can be completed in days rather than months uitpsummit.org.

Benefits & Use Cases

• Operational Optimization: Dynamic reallocation of vehicles to match real-time demand, reducing overcrowding.

• Strategic Planning: Granular OD matrices inform long-term network redesign and timetable adjustments.

• Passenger Experience: Lower wait times and more consistent occupancy levels boost rider satisfaction.

• Sustainability: Better load balancing cuts unnecessary runs and trims emissions.

Why CrowdFlowX?
By combining minimal-footprint hardware with advanced ML and an AI-driven analytics backend, CrowdFlowX delivers end-to-end passenger flow intelligence—without the complexity or cost of legacy APC installations.

We are currently deployed in Antalya, Jurmala, Lisboa and a few other cities.
