FlowCortex
Passenger Intelligence

Understand passenger demand as it happens.

FlowCortex combines Automatic Passenger Counting, vehicle, station and schedule data into one operational picture — built to work with the APC systems you already run.

Route segment loads

See actual occupancy between every pair of stations.

Passenger load is tracked segment by segment along the route, not just at the terminus.

Works with what you run today

FlowCortex consumes existing APC data. New sensing is optional.

Most operators already have APC hardware on part or all of the fleet. FlowCortex connects to that data directly — additional sensing is only introduced where a specific gap in coverage or accuracy needs to be closed.
