Use CurbIQ to dynamically manage the curb and respond to real-time demand. Allow for diverse usage of designated curb spaces, in programmed time slots or through a dynamic schedule.
A flexible curb is dynamic and can serve multiple uses. It is time based, agile, and can change its use according to demand.
Flexible curb management refers to ways that cities can optimize curb space that is in high demand in desirable areas. The flexibility allows cities to allocate the most suitable curb use to a specific location at a specific time. It implies different curb uses for different times, whether that is in the same day (for example peak and off-peak hours), or different periods of the year (for example, summer patios and winter snow clearing zones).
Optimize your curb inventory in high demand areas by designating curb space for different uses and different hours through dynamic scheduling or programmed time slots. Manage a schedule and adapt to real-time demand.
Loading & PU-DO – Two uses which can be easily bundled as part of a flexible curb are 15-20 min loading zones and 2-3 min for picking up and dropping off (PU-DO). Through ingestion of 3rd party data, CurbIQ can be used to manage this dynamically.
Shared Mobility – Usage data on shared mobility usage of flexible curb spaces can allow the city to monitor different providers and their share of time occupying the curb. The data can help develop a different monetization model for time-based curb usage.
Digital Signage – A true flexible curb space can change usage to ‘anything’ from a curbside patio, to loading zone, PU-DO, shared mobility, and others. This can be done through a digital signage. CurbIQ’s partners can provide digital signage that can be managed in real-time using CurbIQ’s Curb Manager.
