Autonomous Pick-Up and Drop-Off: A New Age in Curb Data Management


Autonomous driving systems are emerging as communities worldwide grapple with chaos at the curb. Both public and private organizations want to innovate right-of-way management, and reduce driving on roadway networks. This session will bring US and EU experts together to reimagine the curb in the era of cooperative, connected and automated mobility (CCAM). The discussions will focus on digitization, reallocating public space, and expanding multimodal pick-up-and-drop-off. This session invites innovative thinking about the future of the physical and digital curb, as we pave the way for the future of urban curb management.
