The US-Canada International Border Crossings (IBC) Project is a joint effort between the United States and Canada to provide a transparent, seamless border for expeditious crossing of people and goods through the application of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technologies at selected border crossing sites. Field operational tests were independently conducted at selected border crossing sites. This report details the evaluation of the field operational tests conducted at the Ambassador Bridge international border crossing site between Detroit, Michigan, USA and Windsor, Ontario, Canada. The purpose of the Ambassador Bridge Border Crossing System (ABBCS) field operational test (FOT) was to demonstrate the ability of ITS technology to expedite safe and legal international border crossings for both commercial and commuter vehicles in an operational environment. The ABBCS project objective was to develop and demonstrate an integrated system that would allow pre-processed vehicles, trade goods, and commuters to pass through international border checkpoints with expedited customs, immigration, and toll collection processing. Through the application of new and emerging technologies, the ABBCS was intended to facilitate the positive identification of commercial vehicles, crews and cargo, and commuter vehicles, drivers and passengers, as well as to facilitate the electronic payment of bridge tolls.
