Abstract: The present system comprises a device which issues tickets, a central processing device and an entrance gate device which controls entry to the site. The central processing device establishes appropriate data representing the maximum carrying capacity of each attraction (i.e., the maximum number of reservations which can be given out). It does so by performing a fuzzy inference based on fuzzy rules using as fuzzy variables various uncertainty factors which influence cancellations and other events that transpire after a reservation is made, such as type of attraction, weather, time of day, day of the week and season.
