Curb Space

How can we make better use of the available sidewalk spaces?

 

This opportunity area focuses on optimizing the use of limited space for various purposes. Utilization can be adjusted throughout the day or week, or more dynamically based on real-time demand. Examples include managing the capacity of loading/unloading zones, tour bus parking, and similar spaces.

Cases

Curb Space

Dynamic curb space optimization

In optimizing curb space use to desired (and just) use, you need to reprioritize use. We want to explore what it means to dynamically control curb space use.

Curb Space

Curb capacity management

We want to explore the effectiveness, desirability and feasibility of multimodal curb capacity management. This may include reserving, indicating, assigning, and enforcing the use of curb space.

Curb Space

Monitoring actual curb usage

In this use case we want to explore what is needed to get insight in the actual use of the curb space. This could help policy makers and traffic managers in steering actual usage towards the intended usage

Curb Space

Insight in the curbside

In this use case we want to explore what information is lacking, and what is needed to give the user of public space insight into the characteristics and permitted use of our public space.
