Open Metrics Derived from Shared-ROW

[d-wasserman]

One area of need beyond visualization potential from StreetMix, AB Street, or CityEngine there is a need for some examples of people developing open metrics on the shared-row specification in GIS or within a web context. I think back to a multimodal plan I worked on a while ago that might provide some inspiration, but there are many others. I think some important metrics to think about create open examples on include:

• Bicycle Level of Traffic Stress
• Pedestrian Comfort Index -taking into account street scape, greenery, sidewalk width, maybe land use context as an additional variable
• Transit Orientation - Some metric connecting to information related to real-time GTFS or other dbs.
• Vehicle Orientation - Potential derived capacity estimates from lane configurations/network alignment. That one is harder.
• Others - impervious surface estimate from ROW, typology fits, curbside related metrics, others.

I am interested in this, and will see what I can find.
