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…
