Waiting in long queues at hospitals, government offices, banks, and even cafeterias is a frustrating everyday problem. People often lose valuable time standing in line, which creates stress and reduces productivity. This is especially challenging for senior citizens, working professionals, and students who cannot afford to waste hours waiting. Current solutions like token machines or appointment apps either lack real-time updates or are not accessible to everyone, leaving a big gap in the market.

 My idea is to create a Smart Queue Management System (SQMS)—a mobile and web-based platform that allows people to take a digital token remotely, track their real-time position in the queue, and receive notifications such as “Your turn is in 10 minutes.” The system will use basic AI to predict waiting times by analyzing queue flow and adjusting for delays.

 Unlike existing apps, this solution will be lightweight, multilingual, and SMS-compatible so even people without smartphones can benefit. It can also integrate with simple digital displays at service points to ensure inclusivity.

Who benefits?

Users: Save time, plan schedules, and avoid unnecessary waiting.

Service Providers: Reduce crowd mismanagement, improve efficiency, and enhance customer satisfaction.

Community: Reduced overcrowding increases safety, comfort, and accessibility—especially important post-pandemic.

This problem matters to me because I have personally experienced hours wasted in hospital queues where elderly patients struggled to stand for long periods. A simple, accessible system like this could make daily life smoother and more respectful of people’s time.

Technical Details: The system will connect to a cloud-based server, support QR code check-ins, SMS alerts, and integrate with IoT displays for seamless operation.

  • It seems to be a great idea, and has the potential to impact the life of normal people in large. I think adding an additional voice assistance support will enable its reach to the spacially abled individual also and help them in planning their priorities accordingly. Best wishes chaitanya.
  • Great idea, has the potential to be executed throughout the nation!
  • This is a really thoughtful and practical idea that feels both useful and realistic. The SMS and multilingual support makes it genuinely inclusive, especially for people who aren’t tech-savvy or don’t use smartphones. The AI-based wait time prediction is a clever feature too—it adds value without overcomplicating things. I'd be curious to see how it performs during peak hours or in places with less tech infrastructure, but overall, it’s a smart and much-needed solution for a problem we all face.
  • This concept really stands out—it’s simple, well thought out, and addresses a problem that frustrates so many of us. The user-friendly design makes it easy for anyone to adapt, and the smartphone-free option makes it even better. I can definitely imagine myself using this regularly.
  • This is such a smart idea—simple yet very effective. Waiting in long lines is something everyone dislikes, and this really helps save both time and stress. I also appreciate how user-friendly it is, and the fact that people without smartphones can still use it makes it even more thoughtful. It’s definitely something I’d find useful in daily life.
  • I really like this idea, it’s simple, practical, and solves a problem we all face. No one enjoys wasting hours in lines, and this system feels like a smart way to save time and reduce stress. I especially like that it’s easy to use and even works for people without smartphones. It’s something I can actually see myself using.
  • This Smart Queue Management System (SQMS) idea is highly practical and empathetic, tackling a widespread issue with an inclusive, tech-savvy approach. The emphasis on accessibility through SMS and multilingual support is a strong point, especially for underserved groups. However, the proposal could be strengthened by addressing how it will ensure adoption across diverse institutions and manage peak-time data loads efficiently.
  • “Finally, a smart and inclusive solution to long queues—simple yet impactful, improving efficiency while making life easier for everyone. By reducing stress and overcrowding, this system adds real value to communities and institutions alike.”
  • Great idea, Chaitanya! You’ve pointed out a real problem and given a practical solution that feels simple but very useful. I really liked how you added SMS and multilingual support to make it inclusive for everyone, not just smartphone users. The AI for predicting wait times is also a smart touch. Overall, it shows your creativity and concern for making daily life easier for people.
  • This is a thoughtful and impactful idea—especially the SMS compatibility for inclusivity. You might also consider adding voice call alerts for visually impaired users and exploring integration with existing hospital or bank management systems to speed up adoption.
