Abstract

Drive-thru facilities are perceived as time-savers. Due to vehicle idling while in line, drive-thru facilities may also be viewed as causing unnecessary fuel consumption and air pollution. The popularity of drive-thru services creates a need to evaluate the queuing capacities of the varied drive-thru facilities. In this connection, the ITE Technical Council Committee was formed to collect and analyzed basic information that may be used to estimate and evaluate lengths of automobile queues at drive-thru facilities. In addition, this paper constitute a starting point for compiling a database for drive-thru facility queue length information.
