Challenge
In cities that receive millions of tourists each year it is difficult to manage lines of tourists at popular tourist attractions. City cultural management centers and tourist management centers look for technological tools and information that might allow tourists to better manage their visits. Existing technologies (often based in video technology) don’t offer an optimal solution to the problem.
Solution
We have developed a technology to better manage long lines and providing visitors with relevant information; by integrating sensors into pavement, we’ve created a sensitive pavement which can detect the presence of people in a specified area. Using this technology, we can provide visitors with a real-time waiting time estimate. Depending on the waiting time, visitors can change or alter their tourist decisions for the day, optimizing their route based on their own preferences, the real-time waiting times and their personal time limitations.
Results
By making available the real-time waiting information at a popular tourist destination, visitors can make smarter, personal visiting decisions about their own tourist experience. Their overall experience will be much improved and their perception of the visit on a whole will be significantly better.
Target Markets
