  • Patent number: 10701163
    Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for estimating wait times at various resource providers based on transaction information submitted to a processing network. In some embodiments, the system identifies a time distance between a target resource provider and a plurality of other resource providers in order to identify resource providers local to the target resource provider. Additionally, the system may identify segments for each of a plurality of users on the system. The processing network may identify recent transaction requests received from each of the resource providers local to the target resource provider. The processing network may then identify users associated with each of those transaction requests. Based on the segments assigned to each of those users, the system may estimate and arrival rate, and subsequently an estimated wait time, for the target resource provider.
