1. A method for operating an adaptive gateline, comprising:
detecting a patron approaching a gateline;
determining whether the gateline should be operated in a standard mode or in a modified mode based at least in part on data from one or more sensors; and
operating the gateline in the standard mode or in the modified mode based on the determination, wherein:
in the modified mode a barrier of the gateline operates to provide one or both of extra time or additional space for the patron to pass through the gateline relative to the standard mode,
the data is generated based on beam information from the one or more sensors, and
an opening or closing of the barrier is performed based on a timer that changes according to change in the beam information from the one or more sensors.
