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.

Open data

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.
