Border and Port Administration Center --> Intermodal Terminal:
loading authorization

Definitions

loading authorization (Information Flow): Permission from the government for the goods to be loaded onto ship, secured safely, and made ready for transportation.

Border and Port Administration Center (Source Physical Object): 'Border and Port Administration Center' represents back-office systems and databases run by domestic and foreign governmental agencies responsible for the regulation of trade, and the enforcement of customs and immigration laws. These agencies include U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its counterparts in Canada and Mexico. DHS includes components like Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Other agencies include the Maritime Adiministration, Coast Guard, and Port Authorities for ports and secondary trade agencies (e.g., U.S. Food and Drug Administration, U.S. Department of Agriculture, other USDOT departments, etc.), and agencies from other trading nations. The systems they manage coordinate activities related to land border crossings and ports. These systems support import/export cargo processing and enforcement operations at the port of entry, including programs such as FAST, Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), Nexus (Canada), SENTRI (Mexico), and US-VISIT.

Intermodal Terminal (Destination Physical Object): The 'Intermodal Terminal' represents the terminal areas corresponding to modal change points. This includes interfaces between roadway freight transportation and air, rail, and/or water shipping modes. The basic unit of cargo handled by the Intermodal Terminal physical object is the container; less-than-container load handling is typically handled at a different facility (i.e., Freight Consolidation Station). The Intermodal Terminal can include electronic gate control for entrance and exit from the facility, automated guidance of vehicles within the facility, alerting appropriate parties of container arrivals and departures, and inventory and location of temporarily stored containers.

Communication Solutions

Solutions are sorted in ascending Gap Severity order. The Gap Severity is the parenthetical number at the end of the solution.

Selected Solution

Port: Gov load - OMG DDS

Solution Description

This solution is used within the U.S.. It combines standards associated with Port: Gov load with those for OMG DDS. The Port: Gov load standards include upper-layer standards to enable legal loading of goods on board a ship. The OMG DDS standards include lower-layer standards that support secure data sharing and command operations between remote devices.

InteroperabilityDescription
RegionalInteroperability throughout the geopolitical region is highly desirable, but if implemented differently in different transportation management jurisdictions, significant benefits will still accrue in each jurisdiction. Regardless, this Information Flow Triple should be implemented consistently within a transportation jurisdiction (i.e., the scope of a regional architecture).
