Intelligent Access Program - heavy vehicles

The Intelligent Access Program (IAP) is a national program which uses GPS technology to remotely monitor where, when and how heavy vehicles are operated.

In South Australia, the IAP is voluntary and provides heavy vehicle operators with access or improved road access in negotiation with the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure (DPTI).

DPTI delivers IAP services under delegation from the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR), established to administer the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL), which replaced the state and territory heavy vehicle legislation with nationally consistent laws to improve transport operations and nationwide connectivity.

Benefits

The transport operator will benefit by obtaining improved access arrangements that could in turn lead to improved freight productivity opportunities.

The community benefits through greater assurances that the right trucks operate on the right roads at the right times, offering improved road safety and reducing the impact on infrastructure as a result of non-compliance with access conditions set by Australian road authorities.

Who can enrol

You may be eligible to enrol if you are operating any of the following heavy vehicle combinations:

• single articulated
• rigid trucks fitted with a tandem drive axle group and without a trailer
• B-doubles
