Technology

The science behind FlowState

Our research applies decades of fluid dynamics knowledge to solve one of the most persistent urban challenges: traffic congestion.

Fluid Dynamics Modeling

Traffic behaves like fluid flow. We apply Navier-Stokes equations and computational fluid dynamics to model vehicle movement patterns with unprecedented accuracy.

Real-Time Simulation

Process millions of data points in milliseconds. Our simulation engine predicts congestion patterns and calculates optimal speed recommendations in real-time.

Adaptive Speed Guidance

Deliver personalized speed recommendations to drivers that, when followed collectively, create wave dissipation effects that resolve traffic faster.

API Integration

Seamlessly integrate with existing navigation platforms. Our API is designed for Google Maps, Waze, Apple Maps, and custom fleet management systems.

Solution

How FlowState transforms traffic

Our end-to-end platform connects seamlessly with major navigation providers to deliver intelligent speed recommendations that benefit everyone on the road.

01

Data Collection

FlowState ingests real-time traffic data from connected vehicles, road sensors, and navigation services.

02

Fluid Simulation

Our proprietary algorithms model traffic as fluid flow, identifying bottlenecks and predicting congestion waves.

03

Speed Optimization

The system calculates optimal speeds for each vehicle that, when adopted collectively, dissipate traffic waves.

04

Real-Time Delivery

Speed recommendations are pushed to navigation apps, providing drivers with actionable guidance.
