Abstract:In 2023, the Whatcom Council of Governments (WCOG) was awarded project funding for the Cascade Gateway Advanced Border Information System (ABIS) Design Project through the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (USDOT) Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing Transportation (SMART) Grants Program. This program funds purpose-driven innovation to build data and technology capacity and expertise for State, local, and Tribal governments, with the goal of using new technologies and approaches to target real-world challenges and create benefits. The Stage 1 ABIS Design Project is evaluating technologies to replace and improve aging wait time systems at the Cascade Gateway system of border crossings between the Lower Mainland of British Columbia and Whatcom County, Washington State.
This Implementation Report provides a summary of the project, an overview of the Stage 1 activities and accomplishments; an assessment of the goals, objectives, and expectations met; performance data and results, a benefit-cost assessment; requirements for at-scale implementation (including operations and maintenance); lessons learned; and recommendations. Additionally, as this project was conducted in accordance with systems engineering standards and best practices, the Concept of Operations and the High-Level Design provide more information on the details of the at-scale concept and highlights the traceable flow of the development of the system concept from user needs to essential features, system diagrams, user interfaces, information flows, system assumptions and constraints, culminating with descriptive day-in-the life operational scenarios that describe how users will access and benefit from the system.
