Technology
The technology is available to enforce curbside regulations using handheld devices, enforcement personnel, license plate reading technology, and cameras on transit vehicle or other non-enforcement vehicles, and fleet owned connected autonomous vehicles.

A World Class curbside management program enforces curbside regulations using handheld devices, enforcement personnel, license plate reading technology, and cameras on transit vehicle or other non-enforcement vehicles, and fleet owned connected autonomous vehicles.
Automated Enforcement
Real time pricing is an important tool for an entity to apply to manage curb space and implement curbside priorities. The pricing strategies can optimize revenue while ensuring parking availability and modal prioritization. Most progressive entities have static prices per time frame based upon demand analysis by time of day and day of week. World class entities use a system to provide real time dynamic pricing per time frame based upon a sustainable approach to mode prioritization.
World Class cities have matured to prepare for connected-autonomous vehicles, integrating their navigation system into the entity’s reservation system. The system uses real time availability, anticipated arrival time and dwell time, and uses block chain technology for our curbside.
Real Time Zones & Modal Pricing
In the near term, managers of curb space in urban areas will be applying a system to provide dynamic, reservation based spaces. This provides great customer service as well as allows an entity to prioritize and regulate demand.

Real time reservations
Managing parking demand has been a full-time job for authorities for decades. Typically entities own on-street curb space as well as a select number of off-street facilities. Off-street parking garages are mostly owned by the private sector. With the increasing demand for curb space, providing sufficient parking capacity involves better coordination amongst all available parking in the area - public and private. This optimization is quite complicated due to (1) need for public-private partnerships / MOUs; (2) technology applications for the user to find a space in the proximity of the destination at a reasonable cost; (3) determining a reasonable cost; (4) private sector restrictions to a portion of the capacity for on-site tenants; and (5) addressing each of these challenges in a dynamic real time environment.
Progressive jurisdictions possess a public / private partnership / MOU, including time of day variables, to manage demand. They implement dynamic signage to optimize resources including privately held decks, lots, or curbside capacity.
World class jurisdictions understand the importance of preparing this system to capture connected and autonomous vehicles to minimize congestion and prioritize on and off-street space.
