Details

Transport Canada, in collaboration with Statistics Canada, developed a machine learning model to forecast the volume of shipping containers arriving at the Port of Vancouver. The model uses Canada Border Services Agency import declaration data and was intended for use by Government of Canada employees. The system was never put into production and has since been retired.
