Movement recommendation system based on multi-spot congestion analytics

Abstract

Abstract: A method is proposed for resolving human congestion at a specific time at key spots in an area. Sensing data on real-world human flows are analyzed, and important information for changing movement behavior is accordingly provided. By using conventional approaches, this was a difficult task, whereas in the proposed approach, the targets and timing of providing information for congestion mitigation are determined based on spot importance. A congestion transition model is constructed from actual data and the results of a questionnaire survey. Finally, congestion mitigation in key spots is simulated after movement recommendation has been provided.
