Abstract

See full text

A congestion control system configured to guide pedestrians to balance congestion throughout areas of a controlled environment is provided. The congestion control system is operatively connected to a plurality of sensors and a pedestrian guidance device. The sensors are configured to capture measurements corresponding to pedestrian congestion levels at various locations within the controlled environment. These measurements are provided to a congestion control system. The congestion control system uses the measurements to determine pedestrian traffic flow at the various locations of the controlled environment. The congestion control system then uses the measured congestion levels and the determined traffic flow to determine a control command. The control command is provided to the pedestrian guidance device to configure the device to provide a guidance output to the pedestrians of the controlled environment to balance and/or reduce congestion.
