  • 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.
