Thanks to type-approved telematics, staying compliant and increasing productivity often go hand-in-hand and are goals within reach. While some regulatory programs help to maintain Australia’s road network, others are there to improve transport operations and make businesses more efficient.

Regulatory programs and compliance management benefit operators in several ways, from automating requirements to delivering improved payload, increased productivity, and better road access. No two businesses are the same, and while compliance programs provide certain features, they benefit operations in differently based on their requirements.

What are type-approved and regulatory telematics?

Type-approved telematics refers to a specialty certification that telematics devices and their providers undertake to provide a level of assurance and surety of the data produced. The data collected is shared securely with road management bodies to manage infrastructure risk and allow road access to compliant transport operators. Telematics is a type of in-vehicle technology that provides road managers and regulators with data. The collected information helps to ensure businesses are complying with requirements that grant additional road access, increased payload and more.
