A mechanism for generating information about passenger flows. Mobile devices of passengers are used for providing information about other devices in the vicinity. The location of the device (10) providing information detects other devices (11 -13) in the vicinity and transmits the information to a central system (18). Then, the central system associates this information with a location of a person when this person is identified by using an identification device (16) attached to a gate, elevator or other transportation device. When the location of the person identified is known, the location persons having mobile devices in the vicinity can be estimated. Based on this continuously collected information passenger flows can be estimated and based on passenger flows control information for controlling transportation devices can be formed.
