Intelligent Airport Crowd Management Technology Based on Digital Twin

doi:10.16182/j.issn1004731x.joss.22-0996

Abstract

Abstract:

Given the need for intelligent emergency control and management of airport crowds, a smart control scheme for airport crowds based on digital twin is proposed. The scheme constructs an integrated crowd control system framework with four dimensions, including digital layer, modeling layer, functional layer, and application layer. It discusses and demonstrates the application effect of five important application modules. By using a data-driven crowd simulation model and intelligent optimization algorithm, the proposed scheme realizes the dynamic prediction and control optimization of the airport crowd status. The scheme can effectively improve the efficiency and intelligence level of airport crowd control and provide technical support for the construction of intelligent airports.

Key words: digital twin, crowd simulation, crowd intelligent management, smart airport, intelligent optimization algorithm
