Active queue management system

A method, comprising:

• executing an active queue management system (AQMS) to dynamically schedule vehicle arrivals at a cross-border land port of entry (LPOE) according to a capacity factor such that, based on the capacity factor, vehicle arrivals are scheduled for respective arrival timeslots to maintain a total number of vehicles in a respective lane queue that is both above a threshold minimum number of vehicles and below a target maximum number of vehicles, the capacity factor configured to compensate for flow rate changes at the respective lane queue while still maintaining the total number of vehicles in the respective lane queue below the target maximum number of vehicles;
• transmitting a first notification to a first client device, the first notification indicating a first time at which a first user of the first client device is to arrive at the cross-border LPOE;
• receiving input indicating lane traffic for at least a first entry lane at the cross-border LPOE;
• based on the input and the capacity factor, determining a second time at which a second user of a second client device is to arrive at the cross-border LPOE;
• and
• based on the determination of the second time, transmitting a second notification to the second client device, the second notification indicating a second time at which the second user is to arrive at the cross-border LPOE.

An apparatus, comprising:

• at least one computer readable storage medium (CRSM) that is not a transitory signal, the at least one CRSM comprising instructions executable by a processor system to:
• execute an active queue management system (AQMS) to dynamically schedule vehicle arrivals at a cross-border land port of entry (LPOE) according to a capacity factor such that, based on the capacity factor, vehicle arrivals are scheduled for respective arrival timeslots to maintain a total number of vehicles in a respective lane queue that is both above a threshold minimum number of vehicles and below a target maximum number of vehicles, the capacity factor configured to compensate for flow rate changes at the respective lane queue while still maintaining the total number of vehicles in the respective lane queue below the target maximum number of vehicles;
• transmit a first notification to a first client device, the first notification indicating a first time at which a first user of the first client device is to arrive at the cross-border LPOE;
• receive input indicating lane traffic for at least a first entry lane at the cross-border LPOE;
• based on the input and the capacity factor, determine a second time at which a second user of a second client device is to arrive at the cross-border LPOE;
• and
• based on the determination of the second time, transmit a second notification to the second client device, the second notification indicating a second time at which the second user is to arrive at the cross-border LPOE.
