Abstract
In a method for analyzing the distribution of objects in a free queue, proceeding from position information, firstly a monitoring region comprising the free queue is subdivided into a plurality of positions. Proceeding from the position information, objects assigned to the free queue are identified. Said objects are subsequently tracked. At least for a portion of the identified objects, a current waiting time in the free queue is tracked. At least for a portion of the positions of the monitoring region, the current waiting time of one or a plurality of the identified objects situated at the corresponding positions is assigned. Furthermore, the positions with assigned waiting times are classified into a plurality of classes, wherein each of the classes corresponds to a continuous waiting time range.
