Opencapacity has been featured in ETR (Eisenbahntechnische Rundschau)

We are excited to share that Opencapacity has been featured in ETR (Eisenbahntechnische Rundschau), June 2026, one of the leading trade publications for rail technology in Europe. The article explores how OpenCapacity is using AI to transform capacity forecasting in public transport, enabling operators to better understand and predict passenger demand and available capacity - helping improve passenger information, operational planning and the overall travel experience.

The feature highlights the growing role of AI-powered capacity forecasting in creating smarter, more efficient and passenger-focused public transport.

As public transport networks face growing passenger demand and increasing pressure on existing infrastructure, AI-powered capacity forecasting is becoming an important tool for smarter and more efficient rail operations.

By combining passenger counts with operational, infrastructure and other relevant data, AI can identify travel patterns, anticipate changes in demand and predict capacity requirements before they occur.

OpenCapacity applies this approach to public transport, using AI to analyse and forecast passenger demand and available capacity across rail networks. Its EU-patented technology supports operators and transport authorities with more accurate, data-driven insights for passenger information, operational planning and longer-term capacity management.
