Abstract

Importance of Beach Crowd Prediction for proper resource management, safety, and improving beachgoers experience. In this study, we propose a hybrid approach based on feature engineering Random Forest Classifier and outperform the accuracy in predictive in crowd level. Utilizing sophisticated feature selection and engineering methods, the model integrates various contextual variable influences regarding beach attendance, environmental, social, and seasonal. Model robustness and generalization was ensured by deriving from the existing body of literature in related fields including crowd density estimation, coastal monitoring, and high-dimensional data processing. Improvements to random forest algorithms and ensemble learning methods were also incorporated into the model to maximize predictive effectiveness. The method maintains high accuracy while being efficient in terms of computing, as shown in various real-world datasets. Overall, this research presents a scalable framework for anticipating crowd levels, so beach managers and policymakers can make data-driven decisions that lead to sustainable coastal management.
