The West Lake Scenic Area is a typical open park with no perimeter walls and numerous entry points, leading to concentrated crowd pressure during holidays. The visitor volume statistics system deploys collection equipment at key locations such as the Broken Bridge and Leifeng Pagoda to track real-time in-park counts and entry/exit flows. This enables management to monitor total visitor numbers and distribution even without turnstiles.
Based on real-time data, scenic areas can trigger tiered alerts when crowd levels approach capacity limits. This activates coordinated diversion and guidance by on-site security personnel and volunteers, while informing visitors via communication channels to visit during off-peak hours. Historical data is also used to evaluate holiday operations, optimize facility layout, and refine visitor flow design.
