How Flowy Differs from Traditional APC Systems
Traditional APC systems are primarily designed to count passenger boardings and alightings. Flowy technology expands these capabilities by collecting more comprehensive mobility data through a single WiFi sensor and an integrated platform.
Unknown passenger distribution
Traditional APC systems count passengers but do not reconstruct origin-destination matrices.
No identification of boarding and alighting stops
Door-based passenger counting does not accurately identify passenger boarding and alighting stops.
Performance affected by crowding
In high passenger density conditions, counting accuracy can decrease.
Privacy and personal data concerns
Optical technologies require particular attention when processing personal data.
Origin-Destination Matrices
Flowy analyzes origin-destination movements to support transport planning.
One sensor per vehicle or carriage
Flowy uses a single sensor per rail car or bus, simplifying installation and maintenance.
Ready-to-use data
Collected data is available in the Flowy Dashboard and can be exported via API, GTFS-RT, or CSV.
Privacy by design
Flowy collects anonymized data in full compliance with GDPR, following privacy-by-design principles.
