This forum discusses advanced technology solutions for in-transit freight border security, emphasizing the integration of automatic vehicle identification (AVI) systems and RFID technology in international trade logistics. Key systems like SENTRI, Nexus, and FAST illustrate successes in enhancing border security while facilitating trade between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. The session elaborates on the importance of pre-clearance processes, reducing congestion, and ensuring a fast and secure movement of goods. Collaborative efforts aim to develop a comprehensive and compliant solution that meets global standards.

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
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
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 progress • Pre-clears the truck and up to 3 drivers • Testing 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
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
