- "Curbspace management"
Curb and curbspace management involves efficiently managing and regulating the use of curbside spaces along roadways. With the increasing demand for these spaces due to micromobility, transportation network companies (TNCs), ecommerce home delivery, and transit access, the goal is to inventory, optimize, allocate, and oversee curb space usage to maximize mobility, safety, and accessibility for users and needs.

Summary:
Commercial heavy vehicles using urban curbside loading zones are not typically provided with an envelope, or space adjacent to the vehicle, allocated for loading and unloading activities. While completing loading and unloading activities, couriers are required to walk around the vehicle, extend ramps and handling equipment and maneuver goods; these activities require space around the vehicle.
