AS of 1 July 2010, joining the Intelligent Access Program (IAP) will be mandatory for truck operators running vehicles at Higher Mass Limits (HML) in Queensland, according to the Queensland government.
According to the Queensland government will help monitor heavy vehicles operating at HML and protect vulnerable road infrastructure.
Currently, IAP is national voluntary program developed in partnership with all Australian road agencies and it uses satellite tracking and wireless communication technology to remotely monitor where, when, and how heavy vehicles are being operated on the road network.
It uses Global Navigational Satellite System to monitor heavy vehicles’ road use, giving transport operators flexible access to the Australian road network to suit their specific business and operational needs.
Under the IAP, participating heavy vehicles are monitored using telematics services with an in-vehicle unit (IVU). The IVU is supplied and operated by an IAP Service Provider – a company that may already provide telematics services to transport operators.
The IAP is capable of monitoring three parameters - route, time and speed.
