Acorel, the 37-year-old French specialist in automatic people counting and people-flow analysis, has relaunched its website with a sharper focus on VISION, the AI-powered software suite at the core of its data offering for transport operators, airports, and smart-building managers.
Transit authorities and venue operators have increasingly turned to flow data to manage capacity, safety, and revenue integrity — needs Acorel says shaped the redesign. The new site organizes Acorel's offering into four VISION products: VISION Mobility for buses and trams, VISION Rail for metro and train networks, VISION Air for airport terminals, and VISION Pop for retail, museums, and public venues. Each is presented alongside the operational problems it addresses, such as real-time queue detection, boarding and alighting counts, occupancy heat-mapping, and fleet load balancing.
The platform also draws on Acorel's track record in the sector: its sensors are deployed across more than 20,000 vehicles for over 150 clients globally, with the company citing counting accuracy above 98%, validated through independent audits. Case studies newly featured on the site include a European metro operator that reported 99.2% passenger-counting accuracy across a 44-station, 43-kilometer network carrying 125.6 million passengers in 2024, and an airport deployment using LIDAR and 3D computer vision to track flow across more than five terminal zones.
Acorel notes that all VISION-based detection is anonymous and GDPR-compliant, collecting no personal data — a point the company has added to a new FAQ section aimed at procurement and compliance teams evaluating flow-analytics vendors.
The redesigned site is now live at acorel.com.
