POE Trade Data | Top 20 POE’s Canada-USA-Mexico
POE Efficiency has Supply Chain Implications
Top 20 POE’s in North America (164: 120 CDN-USA / 44 MEX-USA)
$930 B (96%) of all NAFTA two-way truck based trade
System wide delay adds billions to supply chain costs 2013 US-Mexico border delays estimated to add @ $8B to costs
Auto Industry production line delays @ $13,000.00 / minute
Costs for average truck: @ $200 / hour

POE Infrastructure Delivery Challenges
POE project delivery requires 6-10 years to complete a number of sequential planning and implementation steps Conceptual Planning > Functional Design > Final Design
Tendering > Construction
Coordination required for a number of interrelated activities Environmental approvals and Land Acquisition
Presidential Permit and International Boundary Commission approval process
Federal cost-sharing and agency capital programming considerations
POE Infrastructure Delivery Challenges
The bi-national Pembina-Emerson POE context requires input from 8 agencies to deliver an integrated infrastructure solution
Foundations for Success | Early Collaborations
Pembina-Emerson POE partnerships
2010: MIT initiates P-E POE Conceptual Planning Study ($200K)
Transport Canada provides funding to MIT under GBCF
NDDOT co-funds conceptual planning study with MIT
2012: Phase 1 conceptual planning study completed
Agreement on recommended port improvement concept by all participating bi-national agencies:
POE Infrastructure Planning Principles
P-E POE: Recommended Port Improvement Concept
POE Improvements Benefit Transportation Users
Pembina-Emerson Conceptual Planning Study (2012) by 2020: (Proposed Investments)
$30M in Pembina-Emerson POE improvements
2020-2035: (Return on Investment)$500M in benefits to transportation users (16:1 benefit ratio)
Reduced delay and congestion (wait times)
Reduced fuel consumption
Reduced GHG emissions
Foundations for Success | Ongoing Collaborations
Pembina-Emerson: Project Planning and Implementation 2013: GOC commitment $10M for CBSA improvements
2011-2013: MIT ($2M) + NDDOT ($3M) in POE improvements
2013-2014: MIT, GSA, NDDOT, CBSA initiate secondary planning
2014: NDDOT applies for FHWA / TIGER grants ($12M in 2015)
2015: NDDOT has programmed $9.3M for NB improvements
2015: CBSA budget increased to $11.2 M
2015: MIT to complete functional design (obtain project costs)
POE Performance Measurement Innovations
What planning tools will better assist us in making the best investment at POE’s?
Introducing a Level-of-Service (LOS) framework for POE’s Developed during the Pembina-Emerson POE study (2012)
Evaluation tool for assessing port improvement concept trade-offs between: Infrastructure (ie: highways and border service agency facilities)
Technology deployment (ie: how can processing rates be increased)
Staffing levels (ie: staff available to process vehicles)
What is the Innovation? | LOS Methodology for POE’s
LOS Criteria
A-F Service Level Categories
Service Policy Settings
How it Works | Generating Performance Measurement
Algorithms convert hourly arrival data into LOS
categoriesLOS Framework: Policy Settings LOS Output: Trade-Off Analysis
How it Works | Trade-Off Analysis
How it Works | Pre to Post Improvement Analysis
LOS Decay (Pre and Post Investment)
pre-investmenttrigger pointLOS “D”
LOS gain post-investment
LOS would continue to decay without POE improvements
Benefits
Costs
Who benefits from LOS Information
Federal, State and Provincial agencies Trade-off analysis for various port improvement scenarios
Inland Ports | Logistics Interests Supports business case analysis to assess fluidity at POE’s
Other Key Stakeholders (elected officials, public)
Provides consistent, meaningful, understandable and accurate data on future port performance
What are the benefits | LOS applications (micro)
The LOS output provides: A snapshot for any or all 8,760 hours in a year
Longitudinal analysis over a 20+ year planning horizon
Capability to set service level standards and assess LOS policy
Capability to evaluate PIL infrastructure or staffing levels
Capability to evaluate various processing time scenarios
Output generated by direction of travel
Output generated by vehicle type
What are the benefits | LOS applications (macro)
Provides a new paradigm for evaluating POE
performance by providing a standardized approach to:
Evaluating pre-to-post POE improvements Standardized port-to-port comparisons Standardized border-to-border comparisons
What are the benefits | Summary of LOS
A standardized approach for system-wide POE planning A concept that is user-friendly & easy to understand Predictive capabilities (20+ years) Ability to express positive measures of POE performance Ability to conduct multi-variant trade-off analysisAn efficient & cost effective tool for scenario testing Multiple beneficiaries and applications
A Final Word: POE Planning & Infrastructure Delivery
POE infrastructure projects typically require 6-10 years to complete (concept planning, functional design, final design, tender, construction)
The bi-national agency context typically involves coordination from as many as 8 agencies to deliver an integrated infrastructure solution
The LOS concept is a new tool for evaluating trade-offs between various POE improvement scenarios to optimize transportation system benefits and improve supply chain performance
