Predicting Holiday Crowd Congestion with Cellular Automata: A Scenic Spot Case Study

Using a cellular automata model on a 60×60 grid representing a typical lake-centered scenic area, the study simulates holiday visitor flows, analyzes crowd formation mechanisms, and demonstrates that dynamic reservation, multi‑entrance distribution, and real‑time density guidance can reduce peak congestion by up to 30%.
