Scottsdale, Ariz. — Flow Labs today announces the commercial availability of Max, an agentic system purpose-built for complex traffic engineering and transportation planning workflows, delivering engineering work at 100 times lower cost than traditional engineering.

Transportation agencies across the country are taking on more critical work while facing budget shortfalls and uncertainty. With more data and more public accountability than ever, engineering teams struggle to keep up, and every request competes for the same limited engineering hours.

Max is capable of completing multi-step engineering workflows from start to finish. Engineers can use it to investigate a resident's complaint down to an individual signal phase, prioritize which corridors to retime, evaluate a timing change before and after it is deployed, and monitor their network for emerging problems across signal operations, safety, and mobility. For each task, Max gathers the data, identifies best practices, executes on workflows, and writes up the findings for the engineer to review. Work that costs thousands of dollars in engineering time can now run for tens of dollars, so agencies can take on everything they need to instead of choosing what they can afford.

Max scales Engineering Intelligence, letting engineers get more done, their own way. It coordinates a team of agents purpose-built for engineering and planning work, which engineers tune and configure for their specific problems and their agency's procedures. Built-in connectors let teams bring their own data sets into Max alongside their Flow platform data, with no software engineering required. Max is built for auditability and accountability: its work can be checked end to end, so engineers can stand behind every output they approve.

Max complements FlowMCP, which Flow Labs launched in June to let agencies connect AI agents of their own to the Flow platform. Agencies can work with Max, with their own agents, or with both.

"Artificial intelligence on its own doesn't know how a transportation system should run, but engineers do," said Jatish Patel, Chief Executive Officer at Flow Labs. "Max scales that Engineering Intelligence. When work that used to cost thousands of dollars now costs tens, agencies can stop rationing it, and their engineers can take on everything on the list, their own way."

Max is available now to all Flow platform customers.

About Flow Labs

Flow Labs helps transportation agencies understand, improve, and act on how their roads perform — closing the gap between analysis and the decisions that actually move traffic. The company's Flow platform integrates an agency's existing data sources with high-penetration connected-vehicle data to deliver insight and AI-powered optimization across signal operations, safety, and mobility — spanning an agency's entire network, with no new field hardware required. Flow Labs works with state DOTs, metropolitan planning organizations, municipalities, and engineering firms across the United States and Canada. Learn more at www.flowlabs.ai.
