CRESTA: Consortium on Remote Sensing of Freight Flows in Congested Border Crossings and Work Zones The objective of this project is to conduct empirical, site-specific studies that will assist in developing and validating general methods that exploit remote sensing, geospatial information, and other advanced technologies for estimating and improving truck crossing times at international borders and in understanding and improving truck movements at and around work zones. Study locations include Blue Water & Ambassador Bridges (MI) and Nogales (AZ) border crossing. This is a joint project led by Dr. Mark McCord at Ohio State University, and includes MTRI, the Center for Automotive Research, the University of Arizona, and Skycomp Incorporated. |
