Intelligent Access Program

New requirement

The first application of the Intelligent Access Program (IAP) in Queensland will be to monitor the compliance of vehicles operating at Higher Mass Limits.

From 1 July 2009 participation in the Intelligent Access Program will be mandatory for operators wishing to operate, or continue to operate at Higher Mass Limits.

Why apply the IAP to vehicles operating at Higher Mass Limits?

The purpose of applying the Intelligent Access Program to higher mass limits vehicles is to protect vulnerable road infrastructure, while allowing innovative and higher productivity vehicles, designed to maximise the freight task, access to the road system.

What is the IAP?

The Intelligent Access Program is a national program* was developed in partnership with all Australian road agencies and uses satellite tracking and wireless communication technology to remotely monitor where, when, and how heavy vehicles are being operated on the road network.

The Intelligent Access Program provides heavy vehicles with improved access to the Australian road network in return for monitoring compliance with specific access conditions. This is done using vehicle telematics — a way of monitoring a vehicle using global positioning.

Vehicle telematics can provide vehicle information to the Service Provider, Government, other parties and the operator

Enrolling in the IAP

The Intelligent Access Program online enrolment is available.

If a transport operator is unable to enrol on-line, a hard copy of the Higher Mass Limits Intelligent Access Program (IAP) Enrolment Application form (F4573) is available.

IAP Service Providers

Choosing an Intelligent Access Program Service Provider is a business decision for the transport operator. Transport Certification Australia has a current list of Intelligent Access Program Service Providers*.

Note: Only Transport Certification Australia certified service providers are able to monitor your vehicle under the Intelligent Access Program.
