How does the wait time calculation work?

The `get_estimated_wait_time` tool calculates wait times by analyzing the ratio of current queue length to the lift's hourly capacity, adjusted by the resort density factor.

Does the simulation account for peak demand?

Yes, `simulate_daily_operations` includes a parameter for lunch rush activity, which simulates the reduced throughput during high-demand periods.

Can I compare different lift types?

Yes, you can use `compare_lift_options` to evaluate multiple lift configurations against a target line length and current resort density.

This MCP server provides analytical tools for ski resort operations. It uses queue theory to model lift line dynamics. Use get_estimated_wait_time to predict queue duration based on resort density, calculate_optimal_cycle_time to balance throughput, simulate_daily_operations to forecast daily capacity including lunch rush impacts, and compare_lift_options to select the most efficient hardware configuration for specific crowds.
