Drive-Thru Vehicle Intelligence

REAL-TIME VEHICLE TRACKING

AI camera system that tracks vehicles in real time to speed up drive-thru service.

Drive-Thru Vehicle Intelligence — a night drive-thru lane tracked by vehicle-detection rings
THE PROBLEM

A drive-thru lane is only as fast as its slowest car, and without a way to see the whole lane at once, staff are reacting to congestion rather than managing it.

THE SOLUTION

A computer-vision system that tracks every vehicle in the lane in real time from existing camera hardware, so staff can see and respond to the whole lane, not just the car at the window.

How it works

SIGNAL PATH
01

Capture

Existing lane cameras feed a continuous video stream into the system.

02

Track

Each vehicle is detected and tracked from lane entry to the window.

03

Measure

Time-in-lane is measured per vehicle, not just as a lane average.

04

Surface

Congestion is surfaced to staff while it’s still forming, not after it queues.

SYSTEM VIEW
