Fluidity Indicator • Tracking the performance of strategic freight routes provides governments and stakeholders impartial evidence-based results on the competitiveness of Canada’s supply chains • The Fluidity indicator is a web-based multi-modal tool that measures in near real-time the performance of individual segments of the supply chains as well as the end-to-end transit time of freight flows • The metric is focusing on bottlenecks and impediments along major trade corridors; with a special attention given to port infrastructure • Transport Canada’s fluidity indicator is an interactive tool in the context of the North American marketplace.

Geospatial Analysis of Southbound Truck Border Wait Times at Peace Bridge/Fort Erie Crossing • Border wait times are defined as the elapsed time from the last geospatial observation before a trip enters the geofence to first observation when a trip exits the geofence • Trucks with wait times above 90 minutes are assumed to have been sent to secondary inspection and removed from the sample • Trips where the time difference between the last geospatial observation before entering the geofence and the first one inside is greater than 15 minutes are removed from the sample
The fluidity indicator is evidence-based information to assess and analyze the efficiency of our supply chains. The project assists Transport Canada’s work on the identification of constraints in the transportation system. Assist Canadian SMEs through the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters Association’s Enterprise Project Provide strategic information on the resilience of our supply chains by measuring the recovery rates after major disruptions. It is a horizontal project serving other government departments and initiatives: Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade and Development Public Safety: Critical Infrastructure Provincial Government – British Columbia Transport Canada - Economic Analysis & Research
