Cities Topology - Curbs and Parking

Research output: NRELPresentation

Abstract

Personal vehicles, buses, freight, emerging services (e.g., ride-hailing), and other modes impose several combinations of competing demands for curb space. Therefore, research is needed to better understand impacts and prioritize space allocation - parking, pick-up/drops or PUDOs, commercial zones, bus stops, etc. - to optimize mobility and energy use. This study aims to develop an optimization model to allocate and manage curb space by interviewing experts, analyzing responses to understand curb space key requirements and priorities, link such curb-management practices to mobility and energy productivity, and provide methods suitable for micro-scale analysis.
