As cities move toward automated vehicle fleets, managing curb access for passenger and cargo pick-up and drop-off (PUDO) operations becomes increasingly challenging. Unlike human drivers who make dynamic, opportunistic, and rule-breaking decisions about where to stop, automated vehicles require reliable, reserved spaces and shared protocols. Without a comprehensive PUDO management system, the promise of efficient automated mobility could be severely compromised for a busy city. This webinar takes a deep dive into the potential of PUDO orchestration for the integration of robotaxis, automated delivery vans and public-area mobile robots (PMRs) at the curb.
URF's Executive Director, Bern Grush, will lead a panel discussion featuring:
David Carson Lipscomb, Curbside Manager for District Department of Transportation (DDoT), Washington DC
Rachel Castignoli, Senior Business Process Consultant, Transportation and Public Works, City of Austin
Shawn McCormick, Parking Enforcement Director, San Francisco…
