Smart cities
Smart cities use data and algorithms to rethink, improve and evaluate policies and politics. CrowdScan provides accurate, reliable and privacy-friendly data and analytics to help these cities achieve their goals.
What makes CrowdScan unique?
CrowdScan’s measuring technique is quite unique. It’s based on a wireless sensor technology that uses low-energy radio waves - meaning: no camera images or mobile data involved. We’re frontrunner in measuring crowds in smart cities, on public transportation or at events no matter how big or small.
Privacy by design
Because we use signal strength of an ad-hoc synchronised sensor network instead of connecting to mobile devices or taking pictures of individuals to gather data, CrowdScan provides a unique and privacy non-intrusive way of analyzing crowds.
Open data
Since the privacy of individuals is constantly respected and protected our data can be integrated with other smart city technologies or publicly available datasets.
Accurate and reliable
Our technology is 95% in predicting crowds compared to other measuring techniques. It’s also very stable in terms of coverage and works perfectly in any kind of environment as well as under poor weather conditions.
Real-time
Our wireless sensor network provides a new measurement every 50 msec. This ultrafast gathering of real-time data and analytics allows our clients to make equally swift decisions and adjustments.
"This technology will provide us tools to send real-time automated alerts to our users and dispose historical data to analyze the behavior of our passengers in order to offer them a better service.”
Enzo Castiglio Moreno - Head of Research TRAM Barcelona
