Populus (populus.ai)

Populus (populus.ai) — Standardized digital curb and parking regulation inventory: curb-segment-level curb-use rules (loading zones, ride-hail pick-up/drop-off zones, micromobility parking, autonomous-vehicle staging, time- and day-of-week-based restrictions, metered versus free, permit-only) collected from cities, digitized and normalized to the Open Mobility Foundation Curb Data Specification, then broadcast through a Curbs API — with an adjacent parking-insights product adding occupancy and utilization analytics over the same curb network. Small but institutionally credentialed: an ~18-per…

Populus (populus.ai) offers (Alternative, Geospatial, Reference) — Inventory-scale rather than event-scale: named municipal deployments (Seattle's Curbs API, SFMTA/San Francisco, Oakland) imply on the order of 10^5-10^6 curb segments per major city, each carrying typed, time-qualified regulation attributes, plus accumulating dated change records at every re-allocation; the parking-insights line adds curb-occupancy observations from sensor-equipped mapping runs.

Autonomy staging and pick-up/drop-off site selection (where robotaxis and ride-hail may lawfully stop); last-mile delivery stop planning and loading-zone supply analysis; curb re-allocation and conversion modeling for cities and transport consultants; parking occupancy and pricing strategy for operators and garage owners; real-estate and retail site selection scored on curb access; curb-supply and street-policy signals for mobility equity research; authoritative grounding feed for routing engines and agents that need machine-readable curb rules

The data is with 5 years of history.
