TCA CEO will deliver presentation at this year’s VTA State Conference on the Intelligent Access Program
May 3, 2013
Transport Certification Australia (TCA) has been pencilled in to deliver a presentation on the Intelligent Access Program (IAP) at this year’s Victorian Transport Association’s (VTA) State Conference.
The conference will run over two days from May 27 to 28, and TCA CEO Chris Koniditsiotis is planning to spruik the IAP as a beneficial tool for transport operators.
The IAP is used in Victoria to monitor high productivity vehicles to ensure they do not stray onto restricted routes. Queensland and New South Wales require IAP for operators wanting to use higher mass limits (HML).
“At the conference, I’ll explain why governments have agreed to establish the TCA National Telematics Framework and the benefits it presents to transport operators,” Koniditsiotis says.
“I will use the occasion to explain the new opportunities available to transport operators through the recent advancements made to the IAP – namely the entry options initiative and flexible IAP pricing.”
Koniditsiotis has welcomed the recent announcement by the Victorian Government on the expanded access being made available to high productivity vehicles.
Koniditsiotis says he will provide details on how the IAP will be used for the larger trucks and what it means for transport operators seeking to take advantage of the new arrangements.
“The IAP will play an integral role in the cubic freight network in Victoria and we look forward to working with our stakeholders to ensure its success,” he says.
“I will also highlight how transport operators can better manage their chain of responsibility obligations by taking advantage of intelligent speed management, which specifies the technical and operating requirements necessary to obtain accurate speed measurements from GPS-based telematics systems.”
