NTC Strategy for adoption of telematics (inc Speedalerting) for safer driving in road freight sector

The National Transport Commission (NTC) is the inter-governmental agency charged with improving the productivity, safety and environmental performance of Australia’s road, rail and intermodal transport system.


National in-vehicle telematics strategy for The road freight sector (Published July 2011)

Some sectors of the supply chain are already investing in these technologies to drive commercial benefits such as improved asset management. In-vehicle telematics also have the potential to proactively manage fatigue and speed compliance. The road freight sector has not, however, embraced new and innovative technologies as fast or as wholly as many other industries. As a result, the full economic, social and environmental benefits to the Australian community have not been realised.

Implementation of a national strategy, supported by industry and government, would help to drive the transition to the wider use of technology for the benefit of all Australians. It will aim to better align current government and industry initiatives, based on shared objectives, policy principles and responsibilities. While in-vehicle telematics has broad application in all types of vehicles (trucks, buses, light vehicles, cars and trains), the focus in this strategy is on the road freight sector.

A 20-year plan will provide a starting point and future vision for the forecast growth of invehicle telematics in the road freight sector.

Strategy objective: Increase the potential for in-vehicle telematics to deliver new or greater

benefits (better safety, productivity and environmental outcomes) to users
and the community through a partnership between industry and government.
