1. A computer-implemented method of automated sequencing of vehicles merging from multiple lanes into a single lane, the method comprising: a) an image-capturing device capturing video of a merge-point area associated with multiple lanes of traffic merging; b) detecting in the video a vehicle as it traverses the merge-point area; c) classifying the detected vehicle associated with traversing the merge-point area as coming from one of the merging lanes; d) aggregating vehicle classifications performed in step c) to generate a merge sequence of detected vehicles; wherein the multiple lanes of traffic merging correspond to a side-by-side drive-thru, and the side-by-side drive-thru includes an inner drive-thru lane and an outer drive-thru lane; wherein a detected vehicle is tracked until the detected vehicle is outside the merge-point area; and wherein the merge-point area is associated with a fast-food drive-thru.
