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
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
Genesis Of An IdeaThe SENTRI System: Passenger Vehicles Between The United States And Mexico
SENTRI: How It Works
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
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
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
China Customs: Tag Placement
Permanent mount vehicle tag
Temporary mount driver tag
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 progressPre-clears the truck and up to 3 driversTesting of tamper resistant tag

Electronic Seals
Electronic Seals
Disposable
Reusable
Multiple Frequencies
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
Blaine, Washington Site
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
