International Trade Corridor Impacts
For Topic 26-OS2, may a Phase I proof of concept account for Canada/Mexico border-adjacent congestion, customs-related dwell time, or cross-border freight disruption variables if the model remains focused on a selected U.S. freight corridor or segment?

A Phase I proof of concept may account for cross-border freight variables and border-adjacent congestion, provided the preliminary model remains focused on a selected U.S. freight corridor or segment. Cross-border congestion, customs-related dwell times, and international supply chain disruptions qualify as factors that heavily impact the performance, travel time reliability, and truck delay of border-adjacent U.S. corridors.
