Information
research on border crossings
To better understand each border
crossing, I looked though all the existing border crossings between Canada and
US, then put them into 13 categories depending on the characteristics and
similarity of their layout. for each category, I studied the prominent
characteristics and problems of the same category.
Experience Chart
Evaluating the waiting time and experience of each category, and then locate them on the horizontal and vertical axis. The information of waiting time comes from the online rating, the description of passengers and the Usage frequency of the road. The quantification of crossing experience is weighted overlay according to the scores of four aspects (view, service, aggregation and infrastructure).
Mirroring&Sharing Condition
The mirroring condition is the most typical border crossing type that more than half of the crossings fits in this category; Symmetrical perpendicular to the road, Land ownership is very clear.
