About CityFlow

CityFlow is a real-time, AI-powered urban traffic intelligence platform that helps people move smarter and enables authorities to manage roads, signals, and events more effectively.

It fuses live road sensors, public CCTV, crowdsourced reports, and internet-scale signals like social media, event listings, and local news to predict congestion, surface incidents early, and recommend the best routes for every journey.

How It Works

Data Ingestion

Live feeds from GPS, CCTV, signals, weather radar, crowdsourcing, social media, news, and municipal data

Intelligence Layer

NLP, computer vision, forecasting models, and credibility scoring to extract insights

Applications

Citizen app, authority console, and open APIs for fleets

For Citizens

See What's Happening

Live traffic speeds, congestion heatmaps, incidents, signal states, and CCTV snapshots

Plan Smarter Trips

Routes optimized for speed, safety, tolls, turns, and expected events with prediction slider

Stay Informed

Event-aware alerts, weather impacts, rush windows, and corridor notifications

Report and Improve

Report issues with photos/video and help verify others' reports

Ask in Plain Language

AI assistant answers questions like “Is there traffic to Kakkanad at 6:30 pm?”

Access for Everyone

Voice navigation, high-contrast modes, and pedestrian/wheelchair routing

Privacy, Safety, and Compliance

CityFlow is built privacy-first. We minimize personal data and protect identities end-to-end.

  • Anonymized telemetry and strict data minimization with rotation of IDs.
  • Automatic blurring of faces and license plates for public CCTV media.
  • GDPR-like rights: data export, account deletion, and transparent policies.
  • Hybrid moderation: AI-assisted review with human oversight.
  • Independent audits and signed data sharing agreements.

Roadmap Highlights

MVP (Minimum Viable Product)

Live traffic + incidents, crowdsourced reports, basic CCTV thumbnails, event overlays from major venues, simple predictive uplift near events, AI Q&A, and a mini authority dashboard.

Phase 2

Signal analytics, advanced event ingestion (permits parsing), smart parking integrations, and richer alerts.

Phase 3

Citywide simulation sandbox, dynamic signal priority with infrastructure partners, and open data portals.
