Research Objective

Complete streets is a transportation policy that creates safe, accessible streets for all users—whether they walk, bike, drive, or use public transit. While this approach has gained widespread support from researchers and city planners, a critical challenge remains: how to efficiently collect data and measure street performance at scale. This project addresses these challenges through two main objectives: (1) developing and implementing an automated method for collecting data on eight key complete streets elements, and (2) creating a numeric rating index that evaluates how complete a street is based on the collected data.

Data collection

Data collection aggregates eight Complete Street elements from street view imagery and open data sources. Median, vehicular road, and amenities data are derived from open data, while the remaining elements utilize Google Street View imagery processed through computer vision algorithms.
