Presentation Outline

• Australia’s Intelligent Access Program (IAP)

• Explain the place of GNSS in a regulatory tool

• Future Directions

Transport and Main Roads

What is the 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

• Compliance tool that uses a combination of in-vehicle telematics & GPS technology

GNSS in a Regulatory Tool

• Using data as a key element of the evidence of an event having occurred

• Need to clearly demonstrate:o What has happenedo The overall system is trustworthy

• Achieve this via a layered solution:o Technologyo Procedureso Regulation

12

Transport and Main Roads

Technology

• Standard GNSS service• Collect time series data with quality

indicators• Type-approved in-vehicle unit (IVU)• Significant focus on

monitoring/reporting IVU status:o Wide range of event alarms that flag

potential malfunctions or tampering
