Presentation - Belltown Seattle and Urban Freight Lab (10 mins)
Curb Objects Draft (30 mins): Issue #123, PR #126
1. CurbIQ draft of integration into CDS 1.1 or 2.0

How do others store the geometry of their assets? Individual points?
Please review list of object types and state if anything should be added. Should the list be locked or open for users to add more?

Brian kicked off the meeting by welcome everyone in attendance and provided a background on CDS
Michael went over announcements. Highlighting the successful OMF Summit at CoMotion and introduced new OMF staff to the working group. Aylene McCallum, Mitch Vars, and Em Burnett.

Dr. Giacomo Dalla Chiara presented his research on Understanding Delivery Drivers’ Curb Behavior
Noted that there are three components of deliver. Drive – Park – Walk
In one of his studies, it was found that 80% of a drivers time was spent outside the vehicle during urban delivery routes
With walking being so high, more research has been conducted on the role of walking.
Research has been done on how curb availability affects total route time
- If harder to find parking – walk time is very high
- If more parking, driver will drive more
- Proving curb availability increases driving and reduces walking.
The city must balance providing more curb space and discouraging too much driving
- Questions
  - Jonathan LaChance - out of vehicle time, when does the clock start?
    - Clock starts when you park, in vehicle time, out of vehicle time
  - Elias – what is the average distance from warehouse to a city?
    - 15 miles away from urban centroid. Average distance between trips is less than a mile
  - Brian – this research seems to show a need for cargo bike delivery?
    - Highly dependent on cargo bikes. With cargo bikes, walking is 60%

Michael provided level setting on the direction that the CDS WGSC would like to head in
Jacob Malleau presented on what he has been working on over the last month by showing the WG a screenshare of GitHub
Curb Objects are another element with the CURBS api
Curb Objects can be located anywhere but must relate to a curbs space or a curb zone
Geometry is listed as individual point now
- We would like to know how others store this type of information
- We would like to stick with one geometry type
- Michael – we could add an optional field to define a polygon shape
- Passport – from an admin standpoint, point is most efficient given the number of objects that could be present
Please review list of object types and state if anything should be added
- The list is intended to be exhaustive but open to discussion
Michael – we should consider including external links for additional information. Such as plugshare or other public facing location. URL with more information to Object
Miranda – Policy would be assingned to EV charger as an object or assigned to a space where EVs would park next to an object?
- Michael – policy attached to a zone
Leave comments in GitHub – what are your use cases for this
How objects relate to events – similar to zones and space relate to event
