Measuring and Documenting Truck Activity Times at International Border Crossings
http://www.purdue.edu/discoverypark/nextrans/research/research_in_progress.php
Record Type: UTC

Efficient international commerce is critical to the U.S. economy. This project will allow researchers to continue to provide unique and valuable empirical information on activity times of freight trucks at both public and private major North American gateways into Canada. Working with Canadian investigators, NEXTRANS researchers will provide data related to congestion and overall efficiency based on an innovative approach to technology already in use.
