Abstract
The disclosure includes implementations for providing a recommendation to a driver of a second DSRC-equipped vehicle. The recommendation may describe an estimate of how long it would take the second DSRC-equipped vehicle to receive a roadside service from a drive-through business. A method according to some implementations may include receiving, by the second DSRC-equipped vehicle, a Dedicated Short Range Communication message (“DSRC message”) that includes path history data. The path history data may describe a path of a first DSRC-equipped vehicle over a plurality of different times while the first DSRC-equipped vehicle is located in a queue of the drive-through business. The method may include determining delay time data for the second DSRC-equipped vehicle based on the path history data for the first DSRC-equipped vehicle. The delay time data may describe the estimate. The method may include providing the recommendation to the driver. The recommendation may include the estimate.
