About Transport Certification Australia
4
• TCA is a national government body in Australia
• We provide an important interface between governments, industry sectors and end-users
• We’ve recently released a three-year strategic plan
About Transport Certification Australia
5
The Strategic Plan responds to the disruptive influence of technology Stakeholders need assurance to navigate rapid changes in technology
About Transport Certification Australia
6
We are a ‘cross-cutting’ organisation which works across different policy streams, surface transport modes, and government and industry sectors
What do we do?
7
• We develop performance based functional and technical specifications
• We certify service providers and type-approve hardware
• We ‘regulate’ providers of technology, and create new markets from which end-users can obtain assured telematics services
What is telematics?
9
The term ‘telematics’ broadly refers to the interconnected use of: • Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) • Telecommunications and Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT) • In-vehicle sensors
and
• Other systems
What is telematics?
10
Telematics enables data and information to be exchanged between vehicles and other locations, including: • Vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) applications • Vehicle to vehicle (V2V) applications • Vehicle to elsewhere (V2X) applications
Getting it wrong has consequences
However, the promise of a ‘technology utopia’…
…could actually lead us to a technology ‘dystopia’
12
Getting it wrong has real consequences
Unless you get the foundations right, we face the prospect of technology working against us… …rather than working for us
14
The National Telematics Framework Australian Transport and Infrastructure Ministers endorsed the following key principles for telematics and ITS:
• Interoperability • Innovation • Inter-modality • Discouraging inappropriate technologies that could
restrict further development • Multiple uses
16
The National Telematics Framework • A multi-application, multi-provider operating model
• A performance based approach to technology
• Defined roles and responsibilities between operators, regulators and telematics providers (to minimise real or perceived conflicts of interest)
• Ensures privacy by design
• One box, many uses
17
The regulatory environment
The National Telematics Framework forms part of the broader regulatory environment for heavy vehicles

The National Telematics Framework
19
The Framework enables the telematics industry to meet the needs of regulators and transport operators
Regulatory requirements Operator requirements
Multiple telematics providers (competition and choice for the transport industry)
A focus on hardware
• Type-approved IVUs meet the key functional and technical requirements sought by government, industry sectors and end-users:
o Robustness o Accuracy o Reliability o Tamper evidence o Data storage o Security
20
A focus on hardware
• These requirements are available on our website
• The Telematics IVU Functional and Technical Specification sets out the core requirements necessary to ensure reliability, accuracy, integrity and security, irrespective of its end use
21
The good news
• Over 32,000 heavy vehicles are already fitted with hardware
• This is a 22% increase over the last 2 years
• The transport industry tells us that the IVU is a centrepiece of technology which supports a range of functions
22
Dealing with legacy
• Many transport operators have existing IVUs, which may not be able to support regulatory telematics applications
• TCA responded by introducing the Entry Options initiative
• Transport operators can have their existing IVUs assessed by TCA – at no cost
23
Dealing with legacy
• Many IVUs fall short in three critical areas: o Tampering
o Data security and integrity
o Quality management systems
24
• Regulatory telematics refers to productivity or safety reforms… ….underpinned by the use of telematics and related intelligent technologies
• Over the last decade, we’ve seen the progressive
introduction of reforms and initiatives… …which wouldn’t necessarily have been contemplated previously
What do we mean by regulatory telematics?
• Regulatory telematics applications have several defining features: o Legislative underpinning
o Defined roles and responsibilities, with roles and responsibilities assigned to service providers
o Minimum service requirements, with turnaround times to resolve issues and malfunctions
o Privacy by design (including secure storage retention, strong controls on what data is able to be obtained by government)
o Penalties for tampering and mis-use of data
o Transport operators retain ownership of data (which can be used for other purposes – single box, many uses)
What do we mean by regulatory telematics?
• With these underpinnings, productivity and safety reforms that been introduced which enable:
o Road network access
o New vehicle types
o Increased mass
• While managing infrastructure and safety risks
Growing use of regulatory telematics
Growing use of regulatory telematics
We continue to see governments introducing new access arrangements being introduced:
VIC Increased mass limits for Higher Productivity Freight Vehicles (HPFVs)
NSW Safety, Productivity, Environment Construction Transport Scheme (SPECTS)
WA Super Quad Road Trains Low-speed Bridge Crossings
29
PBS Super Quad Road Trains
• PBS-approved Super Quad Road Trains are operating in in Western Australia o Payload of 140 tonnes (194 tonne gross) o Must only operate on approved routes o Must not exceed maximum speed of 90km/h
31
PBS Super Quad Road Trains
• Telematics is also being used to manage compliance with:
o ‘Headway’ conditions (200m)
o Overtaking restrictions (no overtaking)
32
What does this mean for you?
• You need to be aware of hardware requirements
• You should ask current telematics provider of their plans to support regulatory telematics applications
• You should avoid becoming locked-in to systems that aren’t able to support you into the future
• Under Chain of Responsibility, there are legal responsibilities that accrue to telematics providers
