VIDEO BASED METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATED SIDE-BY-SIDE TRAFFIC LOAD BALANCING
First Claim
1. A method for side-by-side traffic location load balancing, comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, one or more video images of a side-by-side traffic location;
determining, by the processor, a number of cars in a first lane and a number of cars in a second lane of the side-by-side traffic location based upon the one or more video images;
calculating, by the processor, a delta between the number of cars in the first lane and the number of cars in the second lane; and
recommending, by the processor, the first lane or the second lane based upon the delta and a respective weighting factor associated with the first lane and the second lane to provide a load balance of the cars at the side-by-side traffic location.

Abstract
A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and apparatus for side-by-side traffic location load balancing are disclosed. For example, the method receives one or more video images of a side-by-side traffic location, determines a number of cars in a first lane and a number of cars in a second lane of the side-by-side traffic location based upon the one or more video images, calculates a delta between the number of cars in the first lane and the number of cars in the second lane and recommends the first lane or the second lane based upon the delta and a respective weighting factor associated with the first lane and the second lane to provide a load balance of the cars at the side-by-side traffic location.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations for side-by-side traffic location load balancing, the operations comprising:
-
receiving one or more video images of a side-by-side traffic location; determining a number of cars in a first lane and a number of cars in a second lane of the side-by-side traffic location based upon the one or more video images; calculating a delta between the number of cars in the first lane and the number of cars in the second lane; and recommending the first lane or the second lane based upon the delta and a respective weighting factor associated with the first lane and the second lane to provide a load balance of the cars at the side-by-side traffic location. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method for load balancing a drive-thru having a side-by-side configuration, comprising:
-
collecting, by a processor, data over a period of time, wherein the data is related to an order completion rate of each employee working at the drive-thru, an order completion rate of each shift of a restaurant, an average number of cars in each lane at various time periods over a day for each day of a week; calculating, by the processor, a weighting factor for a first lane and a second lane of the drive-thru based upon the data collected for an employee currently working the first lane and the second lane, a shift and a time of day; receiving, by the processor, one or more video images of the drive-thru having the side-by-side configuration; determining, by the processor, a number of cars in the first lane and a number of cars in the second lane of the drive-thru based upon the one or more video images; calculating, by the processor, a delta between the number of cars in the first lane and the number of cars in the second lane; and recommending, by the processor, the first lane or the second lane based upon the delta and the respective weighting factor associated with the first lane and the second lane to provide a load balance of the cars at the drive-thru. - View Dependent Claims (20)
