• Abstract:
  This research is to establish a baseline and on-going measurement of border crossing times and
  
  delay by measuring travel times for commercial trucks crossing the port of entry (POE) from
  
  Mexico into Texas at the Laredo World Trade Bridge and the Colombia-Solidarity Bridge.
  
  Delay time for commercial motor vehicles is a key indicator of transportation and international
  
  supply-chain performance, and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is working
  
  with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and other members of the U.S./Mexico Joint
  
  Working Committee (JWC) to implement automated border crossing and delay time measuring
  
  systems.
  
  In 2006, the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) analyzed various technologies that can be used
  
  to support automated measurement of border delay and crossing time at U.S./Mexico land ports
  
  of entry. This project was sponsored by the FHWA and radio frequency identification (RFID)
  
  was the selected technology for most of the U.S./Mexico land ports of entry.
  
  FHWA, TxDOT, and other members of the JWC began working closely with U.S. Customs and
  
  Border Protection (CBP) to determine whether projects could be enhanced to measure border
  
  wait time in addition to total crossing time.
