Description:
Objectives:
The PeopleFlows proposed solution consists of:
- Smart queue management applications at places where congestion and waiting times occur most (embarkation gates, entrance areas, museums, archaeological sites, public services, etc.).
- End user applications for visitors, tourism professionals, and Destination Management Organisations.
- Interoperability with key external systems such as reservation systems, access control etc. Feeding with historical data for presence, flows and traffic.
- Monitoring of people and vehicle flows through a real time object detection system, using advanced machine learning techniques on low cost hardware devices.
- Flow monitoring and processing to forecast flows and provide visitors recommendations for optimal time planning or alternative visitor options with the ability to analyze and process large volumes and streams of data.
