1 Freight Performance Measures at the Texas-Mexico Border: Wait Times, Travel Times and Data Dissemination Border to Border Conference November 14, 2012 1

2 Background and Objectives Delay time for commercial motor vehicles entering and leaving the U.S. at ports-of-entry with Mexico is a key indicator of transportation and international supply-chain performance. TXDOT and FHWA are interested in measuring travel times for commercial trucks crossing from Mexico to the US This information will be the basis for a border performance measurement system and is part of FHWA’s Freight Performance Measurement initiative Data collected in the system will be used to analyze different improvements in the border crossing process Importance of trade with Mexico -- $460 billion in 2011 2 Introduction

3 How Do Trucks Enter US 3 City agencies, county, MPOs

5 Current Project Objectives Measure and disseminate real-time and historic wait times and crossing times information from US-Mexico border crossings as well as maintenance of field hardware at Texas- Mexico Crossings for 3 years: a)Brownsville Veterans Bridge, Brownsville b)Pharr Reynosa International Bridge, Pharr c)World Trade Bridge, Laredo d)Colombia-Solidarity International Bridge, Laredo e)Bridge of the Americas, El Paso f)Zaragoza-Ysleta International Bridge, El Paso (including POV) 5

6 RFID Based Wait and Crossing Time System MX Aduana U.S.MX RFID Reader and Antenna 6 U.S. CBP DPS RFID equipment reads tags/transponders already carried by trucks. These tags could be (user fee decal, FAST, MX/US toll tags) The project will not distribute tags. Bluetooth technology works in a similar way except it tracks Bluetooth signal emitted by electronic devices carried by motorists and vehicles. Wait Time Crossing Time
