• Description:
  Project 0-1800 pioneered the use of modern micro-simulation models to analyze the complex procedures involved in international border crossing in Texas. Animated models simulate the entire southbound commercial traffic flow in two important international bridges, Ysleta-Zaragoza in El Paso and World Trade in Laredo. The simulations addressed all the crossing procedures, starting with U.S. Customs export inspections on the U.S. side, all the way to the Mexican exit gates.
