A system and method for managing virtual queues. A cloud-based queue service manages a plurality of queues hosted by one or more entities. The queue service is in constant communication with the entities providing queue management, queue analysis, and queue recommendations. The queue service is likewise in direct communication with queued persons. Sending periodic updates while also motivating and incentivizing punctuality and minimizing wait times based on predictive analysis. The predictive analysis uses “Big Data” and other available data resources, for which the predictions assist in the balancing of persons across multiple queues for the same event or multiple persons across a sequence of queues for sequential events.

An example operation includes one or more of determining a first transport attempting to access a bay with a charging station can utilize the charging station and has a higher priority than a second transport utilizing the charging station in the bay and notifying the second transport to cease utilizing the charging station and to vacate the bay after a time.

A method of operating a carwash includes driving a vehicle to a point of sale station of the carwash, purchasing a carwash transaction, and taking a first picture of a license plate number of the vehicle after the completion of the purchase of the carwash transaction at the point of sale station. The license plate number is associated with the carwash transaction as a carwash ticket. The vehicle is then sent to a carwash queue disposed downstream of the point of sale station. The carwash ticket information is sent to a carwash tunnel. A second picture of the license plate number of the vehicle is taken right as it approaches the carwash tunnel. The license plate number is associated with the carwash ticket and the vehicle is washed according to a wash dictated by the carwash ticket.

A method and system include identifying, by a processor, departing flight information that designates departure airports and departure times in payment card transaction data of a plurality of users. Airport-specific data for a departure airport before a departure time of a departing flight of a user from the plurality of users is received. The airport-specific data is inputted into a machine learning model that outputs a user-specific airport processing time for the user to reach a departure gate upon arriving to the departure airport. A travel time from a geographical location of the computing device of the user to the departure airport is received from a navigation system. The computing device displays a time for the user to start travel to the departure airport based on the user-specific airport processing time and the travel time to the departure airport for the user to reach the departure gate by the departure time.

A method of coordinating a fleet of vehicles includes receiving a first preconditioning characteristic of a first battery from a first vehicle of the fleet of vehicles. The method further includes receiving a second preconditioning characteristic of a second battery from a second vehicle of the fleet of vehicles. The method further includes comparing the first preconditioning characteristic and the second preconditioning characteristic to determine a preconditioning ranking for the first vehicle and the second vehicle. The method further includes determining a queue of the first and second vehicles for a charging station using the preconditioning ranking of the first and second vehicles.

The present disclosure provides a method for queuing and a related electronic device. The method for queuing in the present disclosure includes: receiving user data of a user; receiving a current serial number and a quantity of queued people of a service station; determining a queuing time based on the current serial number, the quantity of queued people, and a serial number of the user data; receiving a quantity of waiting people of a first stop in response to a first demand value of the user data being true; determining a first waiting time based on the quantity of waiting people of the first stop; and transmitting a first signal of going to the first stop to the user, and queuing the user in a queue of the service station and a queue of the first stop, in response to the first waiting time being less than the queuing time.

A drive-through treatment system for a drive-through clinic includes: a plurality of monitoring devices positioned at an inlet of a plurality of treatment lines; a plurality of treatment devices positioned on a plurality of medical shelters in each of the plurality of treatment lines; a plurality of outlet devices positioned at an outlet of the plurality of treatment lines; and a treatment line determining device for determining a treatment line into which a target vehicle to enter the drive-through clinic will enter among the plurality of treatment lines based on information received from a plurality of monitoring devices and a plurality of outlet devices. Each of the plurality of monitoring devices may check a treatment start, a treatment progress situation, and a treatment speed of vehicles that have entered the treatment line from the inlet of the corresponding treatment line to be transmitted to the treatment line determining device.

A queue control system controls a queue structure of a queue in an amusement park. The queue control system includes a controller and a queue structure control associated with the queue structure. The controller receives, from an input device that monitors a queue characteristic of the queue, data feedback indicative of the queue characteristic. The queue characteristic is indicative of a queue length, queue wait time, queue rate, or queue throughput. The controller also outputs a control command based on the data feedback. The queue structure control receives the control command and changes at least one aspect of the queue structure based on the control command.

A control apparatus (2000) computes a waiting time index value for each of a plurality of gates (20) for entering an area (10). The control apparatus (2000) detects, from among the plurality of gates (20), a first gate (20) and a second gate (20) of which relation between the waiting time index values satisfies a first criterion. Herein, the waiting time index value of the first gate (20) is greater than the waiting time index value of the second gate (20). The control apparatus (2000) causes a terminal (30) associated with the first gate (20) to output priority use information, which allows prioritized use of the second gate (20).

Provided are a projection processing device, a storage medium, and a projection method that can realize efficient guidance of customers who receive services. A projection processing device 10 includes a processor 20 that executes projection processing for acquiring a number of available servings of a service and projecting a notification image 50 used to notify information on the number of available servings. Further, the processor 20 is capable of changing display contents of notification images 50 and 51 for each kind of the service, and changing display contents of notification images 50, 50a, and 50b according to the number of available servings.
