National Safety Camera Network
The National Safety Camera Network is one of our main data-collection mechanisms. It captures data from across the country, combining data from more than 120 camera sites covering more than 5,800 kilometres across 5 jurisdictions with an average of more than 4.2 million sightings per month.
We store the data from the National Safety Camera Network in a secure national database, together with registration, crash, defect, intercept and infringement data. This data enables us to better identify higher risk operators and vehicles to make sure our compliance and education activities are well targeted.
Road Monitoring Tool
We use safety camera, registration, crash, defect, intercept and infringement data to generate profiling reports to identify operators, vehicles, drivers and infrastructure of interest. By using risk modelling based on these reports, we have been able to automate the identification of operators and vehicles who pose the greatest safety – through what we call our Road Monitoring Tool.
The Road Monitoring Tool uses sophisticated, automated algorithms to assign levels of risk to journeys, drivers and operators. It addresses 3 priority safety issues:
- fatigue management
- mechanical compliance
- repeat offending.
Compliance and safety risks relating to driver fatigue identified through travel time breaches, and mechanical risks detected though vehicle identification, are sent to our Safety and Compliance Officer via digital alerts. These are received on their mobile, hand-held devices through the Regulatory Compliance Mobility Solution app, enabling them to plan to intercept the vehicle.
This enables our Safety and Compliance Officers to save on average 15 minutes an intercept – down from 35 minutes before the app – meaning shorter stoppage times for compliant operators.
