  3. Intelligent Transportation Systems For Border Security • Design parameters similar to Electronic Toll Systems • Security rather than financial pre-clearance • Commercial pressure to avoid congestion • Concentrate attention where needed

  4. Genesis Of An IdeaThe SENTRI System: Passenger Vehicles Between The United States And Mexico • Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) Program • Between USA and Mexico beginning in 1995 • Automatic Vehicle Identification(AVI) technology • Pre-screened, authorized border commuters (in their vehicles) • Dedicated lanes

  5. SENTRI: How It Works

  6. Nexus: RFID Cards Identifying Commuters Between The United States And Canada • INS Program • Dedicated commuters between Canada and USA • Over 100,000 users and growing • Identifying the person only, not the vehicles • Slow speed, read only radio frequency identification (RFID) • No traffic control barriers • Can be used unmanned

  7. China: Integrating RFID For Drivers And Vehicles Into One System • China customs anti-smuggling initiative • Currently over 125 lanes and 100,000 trucks in use at Shenzhen, Dalian, Qingdao, Chengdu, Tianjin and Ningbo • Major use between Shenzhen and Hong Kong • Planned roll-out throughout China

  8. China – Matching The Driver, The Truck And The Freight In One Tracking System • Pre-clearance of goods, truck and driver one working day in advance of movement • Simultaneous AVI reads of truck tag and driver tag correlated to pre-designated weight of goods • Generate and write to the truck tag a random customs number • Throughput of 10 seconds per AVI lane vs. 3 minutes per manual lane • Centralized database and sharing of information

  9. China Customs: Tag Placement • Permanent mount vehicle tag • Temporary mount driver tag

  10. FAST: Just In Time Inventory Between The United States And Canada • Evolved from National Customs Automation Prototype (NCAP) • Currently 6 sites between USA and Canada, with expansion to additional Canadian and new Mexican sites in progress • Pre-clears the truck and up to 3 drivers • Testing of tamper resistant tag

  11. FAST: Ambassador Bridge Site

  12. FAST: Ambassador Bridge Site

  13. Electronic Seals • Electronic Seals • Disposable • Reusable • Multiple Frequencies

  14. Northwest International Trade Corridor Beyond The Driver And The Truck • Secure chain of custody • Move back the border • Proof of concept to track the vehicle and driver and the container, as well as the status of the container from point of origin to inland designation • Collaborative effort of private industry, DOT, Customs, Dept of Agriculture, and Ports of Seattle and Tacoma • Use of electronic seals

  15. Blaine, Washington Site

  16. Bringing It All Together Into A Comprehensive, Global Solution • Move back the borders • Compliant with worldwide standards • Automated vs. Manual • Practical use of technology • Commercially viable • Dynamic teaming by solution providers • Evolution not revolution • Technology provides a part of the solution
