Abstract EN
Crowding is a key factor in tourists’ experience in theme parks, and mitigating crowding makes parks more competitive.
This study examines how to effectively mitigate crowding in theme parks.
First, a Markov-based method is developed to predict the spatial-temporal distribution of tourists in the park.
Then, a prospective coordination approach based on the tourist distribution prediction is proposed.
To evaluate the performance of this approach, an experiment is constructed using an agent-based simulation platform.
The results indicate that the proposed method significantly outperforms existing methods.
Furthermore, we conduct two experiments and, based on the results, offer several recommendations for crowd management.
