- What's next?
- CDS Rest API
- ESRI is the source of the data, but they don't play nice w/ CDS yet. Lot's of interest on this in the meeting
- Code the curb: digitize curb assets
- Initiative has been around since 2014. We went through this bit pretty fast and the slide deck has very detailed information on the subject. I'll defer you to that source of information for the timeline
- 2019: Cambridge Systematic engagement
- completed work arrived during the pandemic
- three volumes:
- scoping study
- asset management plan
- executive summary
- tldr: should be able to achieve objectives in 5 years if properly resourced
- COVID resulted in some priority shifts and a lack of proper resources
- Pursuit of Partnerships and Grants
- Phase 1 is complete, 2 more pilots underway
- Two grants:
- DOE
- Curbspace Inventory Program grant
- CurbIQ LADOT engagement presented by Jacob Malleau
- Available Curb Digitization Strategies:
- Open Data Automation
- Curb-Level Surveying
- Augmented Mobile Mapping
- Is there a curb digitization strategy that's scalable?
- Experiment:
- Use curb-level surveying on 4 neighborhoods as a control
- Compare those results to augmented mobile mapping results
- Results:
- There's an inverse relationship between density and augmented mobile mapping accuracy
- Conclusion:
- In low-density areas, use augmented mobile mapping. That's ~90% of LA
- In high-density areas, use curb-level surveying
- This approach would result c 5x faster collection
- After curb digitization, how do we make the most of that information?
- CurbRules API converted to CDS
- Additional value-add apis that offer value to operators
- Available Curb Digitization Strategies:
- Brian H.: Once you have the data on a digitized curb, how are you going to keep it up to date?
- Tom C.: The current phase investigated the cost and accuracy of digitization methods. We're going to tackle that problem next.
- Jacob M.: It's common for us to work with cities that only have snapshots of curb digitization data with no updates perform after the snapshot.
- Alex D.: Do you ever update and verify existing information instead of taking a brand-new inventory?
- Jacob M.: Sure. We can update and verify or take a new snapshot.
- Elias K.: Do you use your staff, or CurbIQs staff?
- Jacob M.: Depends on the situation. We can collect and process, collect, or process
- Brian H.: Will Omaha continue to use ESRI, or move away?
- Jacob L.: Backend uses ESRI. We're likely stuck with it.
- Zane C.: Best practices for other cities?
- Tom C.: Partnerships were critical
- Jacob L.: Same here. Also, there's a world beyond digitizing the curb. Lane closures, construction, etc.
