Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to effectively coordinate and manage the walking paths of individuals through gates, leading to mixing of flows with different evaluation characteristics, which can result in discrimination and inefficiencies.
Innovation Solution
A passage arrangement that uses biometric and spatial tracking technologies to automatically control and position guidance systems, integrating sensors like lidar and 3D scanners to direct individuals based on their characteristics, health status, and behavioral data, with modular gate designs and pivotable guide structures to optimize passage flow.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If automatic control and positioning of guidance systems is implemented, then passage efficiency and system performance are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system is divided into modular components including gate devices, guide devices with guide structures, stand devices, and sensor devices. Each module performs a specific function and can operate independently, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining high automation levels. The guide structure itself is segmented into pivotable parts that can be independently controlled.
Solution Approach 2:
Sensor devices act as intermediaries between the environment and the control system, automatically detecting person characteristics and triggering appropriate guidance responses. This intermediary layer enables automatic control without requiring complex direct human intervention in the control logic.
2Reliability
If biometric and spatial tracking technologies are integrated, then discrimination risks are reduced and passage efficiency is enhanced, but device complexity and manufacturing costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The sensor device performs multiple functions including biometric detection, spatial tracking, and trigger activation for guidance system response. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated systems for each function, thereby reducing overall complexity while maintaining comprehensive capabilities for reliable and fair person guidance.
3Adaptability or versatility
If pivotable guide structures are used to dynamically adjust paths, then adaptability to different person characteristics is improved, but ease of manufacture decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The guide structure is designed with pivotable components that can dynamically adjust their orientation based on real-time detection of person characteristics. This dynamic capability allows the same physical structure to adapt to different guidance requirements without requiring multiple custom-built structures, thereby maintaining ease of manufacture while achieving high adaptability.

AI summary
The invention relates to an arrangement for coordinating the walking path of a person according to available information, wherein this arrangement comprises a first module and a second module, the first module forming a gate device that defines a first walking path section, the second module forming a guide device that enables a first and a second passage through a walking path section according to the positioning of a guide structure, and the first and the second module are arranged such that the first and the second passage connect to one of the end sections of the gate device.This makes it advantageously possible to automatically coordinate a person's access to the gate or their further route after passing through the gate, based on information available within the timeframe of the passage or generated via a defined process.
