Austroads The Issue Road Freight Challenges  Industry  Freight task forecast to increase significantly  National and increasingly international factors  Rapid technological change and innovation Seek Improved Access to Road Network  Government (all levels)  Steward of road network  Need to meet community expectations  Smarter compliance Require Confidence in Compliance to Access Conditions

Austroads Freight Challenges (1)

Austroads Freight Challenges (2)

Austroads Risk Management Exercise Heavy Vehicle Access To Network (1)  General Access  Restricted Access

Austroads Heavy Vehicle Access To Network (2)  General Access  Restricted Access  Gazette / Notice

Austroads Heavy Vehicle Access To Network (3)  General Access  Restricted Access  Gazette  Permit

Austroads Heavy Vehicle Access To Network (4)  General Access  Restricted Access  Gazette  Permit  Escort

Austroads Heavy Vehicle Access To Network (5)  General Access  Restricted Access  Gazette / Notice  Permit  Escort  Intelligent Access  Telematics solution using GNSS tracking  In-vehicle navigation  Logistics / Supply chain management  Fleet management

Austroads Intelligent Access Program (IAP) A program that will remotely monitor heavy vehicles to ensure they are complying with their permitted operating conditions – ensuring they operate how, where and when they should

Austroads IAP - Defining Principles  Consistent approach  ‘Intelligent Access’ would be granted based on monitoring of vehicular parameters for compliance  IAP services (along with commercial telematics services) to be provided by the private sector  Certification and Auditing regime for IAP Service Providers, administered by government based group  Jurisdictions only interested in non-compliance information

Austroads IAP Operating Model

Austroads IAP - What we know (1) Technology  Feasible parameters for monitoring by IAP:  Vehicle identification  Vehicle location / route compliance  Vehicle time  Vehicle speed  Vehicle distance travelled  Store - and - forward communications capability

Austroads IAP - What we know (2) Regulatory  National and State (Jurisdictional) instruments do not substantially hinder IAP  Model road transport reform (Compliance and Enforcement) Bill underpins the deployment of IAP  IAP operating model is viable from a public policy perspective  Privacy issues can be managed  IAP operating model extension is feasible

Austroads IAP - What we know (3) Business  A number of applications were identified  Telematics industry is available and capable of accommodating a staged IAP  Transport industry indicates a positive response  Benefits to Government

Austroads IAP - What we know (4) Trials/Demonstrations  Trials have been established  Proved the effectiveness and reliability of telematics for regulatory purposes  approach has also been legally proven by:  Queensland Fisheries in their Vessel Monitoring System  WA Depart. of Environmental Protection in their Liquid Waste Vehicles

Austroads Conclusion  IAP is feasible  Staged implementation of IAP endorsed by Australian Transport Ministers on 23 May 2003  IAP will provide information (rather than data), driven by commercial needs and the value of the information to users (explicit and implicit purposes)  IAP is being implemented through Austroads (July 03 to December 04)
