Draft Intelligent Transport System Compliance Framework (PDF, 985KB)
The Intelligent Access Program Compliance Framework has been drafted based on feedback from jurisdictions and other regulatory partners. By applying a risk-based data-led approach, equitable outcomes will be achieved in relation to the application of the HVNL to intelligent access program compliance.
What is it
The Intelligent Transport System Compliance Framework aims to provide transparency to industry on the NHVR's approach to obtaining and using data from intelligent access programs.
Why we consulted
Feedback from industry and other stakeholders will ensure that the framework is fit for purpose, accurate and effective.
Background
The Intelligent Access Program (IAP), as defined under s401 of the HVNL, is a program to allow heavy vehicles to have access, or improved access, to the road network in return for monitoring, by an approved intelligent transport system, of their compliance with stated access conditions. This is achieved through the integrated use of information and communication technologies to transmit, store and receive data.
Intelligent access programs are used by road managers under gazette Notices and/or permits to grant:
- access to specific routes at particular times or under specific conditions (e.g. speed)
- additional mass to specific vehicles or journeys.
Since 2022, jurisdictional road managers have been utilising different intelligent access programs as a condition of a mass or dimension authorisation, from IAP to TMA (with or without Smart OBM) and RIM in certain circumstances.
