Abstract:Project 0-1800 pioneered the use of modern micro-simulation software to analyze the complex procedures involved in international border crossings. The animated models simulate the entire southbound commercial traffic flow, starting with U.S. Customs export inspections on the U.S. side, all the way to the Mexican exit gates. The results were impressive, including identification of bottlenecks, test of possible solutions, and estimate of future impact of traffic on crossing times and on adjacent roadways. This report presents the analysis of the World Trade Bridge in Laredo, TX, which was under construction while the model was being developed. The model indicates that the World Trade Bridge will work under capacity and with few or no queues for the first five years.
