Gateways & Trade Corridors FLUIDITY INDICATOR June 2014

Fluidity Indicator • Tracking the performance of strategic freight routes provides governments and stakeholders impartial evidence-based results on the competitiveness of Canada’s supply chains • The Fluidity indicator is a web-based multi-modal tool that measures in near real-time the performance of individual segments of the supply chains as well as the end-to-end transit time of freight flows • The metric is focusing on bottlenecks and impediments along major trade corridors; with a special attention given to port infrastructure • Transport Canada’s fluidity indicator is an interactive tool in the context of the North American marketplace.

Geospatial Analysis of Southbound Truck Border Wait Times at Peace Bridge/Fort Erie Crossing Ø Border wait times are defined as the elapsed time from the last geospatial observation before a trip enters the geofence to first observation when a trip exits the geofence Ø Trucks with wait times above 90 minutes are assumed to have been sent to secondary inspection and removed from the sample Ø Trips where the time difference between the last geospatial observation before entering the geofence and the first one inside is greater than 15 minutes are removed from the sample 14
