The governments of Canada and Ontario announced the Windsor Gateway Action Plan in the year 2002 which aims at improving traffic flow at the border crossings between Windsor and Detroit. The plan includes improved border processing, advanced traffic management, and widening of existing roads or construction of new roads. Although the plan suggests important guidelines for future improvement, more detailed assessment of existing traffic conditions and more theoretical and experimental analyses need to be performed to improve congestion and safety on this corridor near the border crossing. In this regard, the study of traffic phenomena under different patterns of traffic flow interruptions and interactions between car and truck movements can help suggest more specific solutions for cross-border traffic on urban streets.

加拿大和安大略省政府于2002年宣布了《温莎门户行动计划》，旨在改善温莎和底特律之间边境口岸的交通流量。该计划包括改善边境处理，先进的交通管理，拓宽现有道路或建造新建道路。虽然该计划为今后的改善提出了重要的指导方针，但需要对现有的交通状况进行更详细的评估，并进行更多的理论和实验分析，以改善边境通道附近的拥堵和安全状况。在这方面，研究不同交通流中断模式下的交通现象以及汽车和卡车流动之间的相互作用，有助于为城市街道上的跨境交通提出更具体的解决方案。
