  1. Commercial Vehicle Administration Fleet and Freight Management Commercial Vehicle Check Intermodal Container Border Information Flow Architecture (BIFA)

  2. BIFA Overview

  3. BIFA Overview • Committee developed within the Transportation Border Working Group (TBWG) • Transport Canada and US Department of Transportation (FHWA) leading the effort • Work will follow a methodology based on US/Canada Intelligent Transportation System- Regional Architecture

  4. BIFA Overview • A framework for ensuring institutional agreement and technical integration for the implementation of ITS projects or other technology solutions at major land border crossings • Engages border stakeholders to identify opportunities for coordination and information sharing to improve security and efficiency at ports of entry

  5. Focus of Initiative • Identify technologies and agencies that use technologies at or near the border • Identify priorities of these various agencies • Promote interoperability of technologies • Reduce technology investment cost • Enhance information exchange, coordination and communication

  6. Border Information Flow Architecture (BIFA) • Developed as a “generic” regional ITS architecture • Will have components of regional ITS architecture except • Project Sequencing • List of Agreements

  7. BIFA Architecture Development Plan • Workshop #1 • Define Inventory and Services • Initial Architecture Development • March 14-16, 2005 • Complete draft BIFA based on results of workshop 1 • Review of material schedule for 7 June • Workshop #2- • 2-day stakeholder meeting to review draft architecture • Planned for 3nd Quarter 05 (July or August) • Create final BIFA • NLT Dec 05

  8. Workshop 1 Objectives • Develop Initial Border Information Flow Architecture • Identify Actions and Next Steps to Complete Architecture Commercial Vehicle Administration Fleet and Freight Management Commercial Vehicle Check Intermodal Container

  9. ITS Inventory • A list of ITS elements and the elements that interface with them • And an element is: • The name used by stakeholders to describe an ITS system or piece of a system • Related to entities – subsystems and terminators

  10. Needs • Needs are a description of the region’s transportation problems • May be general (e.g. reduce congestion) • May be specific (e.g. provide up to date weather information to travelers)

  11. Architecture Flows Traffic Mgmt traffic flow Roadway signal preemption Vehicle request signal control data • Interconnects carry architecture/information flows • Architecture flows identify flow of data • Between subsystems • Between subsystems and terminators • Architecture flows can then be related to ITS standards

  12. Next Steps • Develop draft BIFA based on results of workshop 1 • Potentially contact workshop participants with follow-up questions • Conduct Workshop #2- • 2-day stakeholder meeting to review draft architecture • Planned for 2nd Quarter 05 • Create final BIFA
