Dynamic Queue Line Planning for Pedestrian Flow Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing queue management systems in facilities like stations and airports fail to consider main trajectories, leading to queue interference with pedestrian traffic, especially during congestion, as they do not adjust the queue line based on foot traffic patterns.
Innovation Solution
A moving body queue management system that includes an information management unit and an estimated queue line planning unit to plan and adjust the queue line so that it crosses main trajectories, using trajectory data and prediction algorithms to ensure smooth pedestrian flow and adequate queue length.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If the queue line is extended to accommodate more people, then the queue capacity increases, but the queue interferes with the main trajectory of pedestrians
Solution Approach 1:
The queue line planning is made dynamic by continuously predicting main trajectories based on moving body information and adjusting the queue line configuration in real-time. The estimated queue line planning unit dynamically recalculates the optimal queue path considering current pedestrian flow patterns, allowing the queue to adapt its position and shape rather than following a fixed path.
Solution Approach 2:
The solution transitions from two-dimensional queue line planning to three-dimensional planning by incorporating temporal dimension. The system predicts future main trajectories and plans queue lines that cross these trajectories at appropriate times and positions, adding the time dimension to spatial planning. This allows the queue to utilize space-time opportunities where pedestrian flow is lower.
2Ease of operation
If the queue line is adjusted to avoid main trajectories, then pedestrian flow is improved, but the queue length may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary prediction of main trajectories using moving body information before finalizing the queue line plan. By predicting where pedestrians will move in the future, the system can pre-position the queue line to cross these trajectories at optimal points, ensuring both pedestrian flow smoothness and adequate queue length are maintained in advance.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors moving body information and uses this feedback to refine trajectory predictions and adjust queue line planning. The information management unit collects real-time data on pedestrian movement, which feeds back into the prediction algorithm, creating a closed-loop system that optimizes queue positioning based on actual pedestrian behavior patterns.
