Managing Increased Demand for Curb Space in the City of the Future
项目名称: Managing Increased Demand for Curb Space in the City of the Future
摘要: This research directly addresses the PacTrans topics of System-wide Efficiency by supporting systems integration and optimization and Improved Reliability across Modes by developing innovative methods for managing curb lane function and curb access. The rapid rise of autonomous vehicles (AV), on-demand transportation, and e-commerce goods deliveries as well as increased cycling rates and transit use is increasing demand for curb space resulting in competition between modes, failed good deliveries, roadway and curbside congestion, and illegal parking. The research findings will improve mobility by increasing understanding of existing curb usage and provide new solutions to city officials, planners, and engineers responsible for managing this scarce resource in the future. The research team will work closely with several cities in the PacTrans region to ensure the study’s relevance to their needs, and that the results will be broadly applicable for other cities.
