Author Description

In October 2008 The Federal Highway Administration contracted a study team to conduct a two-part study to assess technology for the measurement of travel times for trucks through the Otay Mesa international border crossing into the US. The primary goal was to evaluate the ability of one of two technologies to accurately record travel times through the border zone. The specific objectives of the project were to: (1) Assess the effectiveness of a technology for automated capture of travel time for vehicles crossing the border. (2) Gather historical travel time data over the period of one year. The results of the work are summarized in this Final Report.
