Operating in the IAP //
The IAP has the capability to monitor three parameters - route, time and speed.
This means that the IAP Service Provider is capable of determining whether the vehicle has:
- been somewhere other than the permitted route
- travelled on a permitted route but at a prohibited time
- exceeded the speed condition stipulated by the road authority
Monitoring of vehicle route compliance is required under all IAP Applications. Monitoring of other parameters is optional, depending on whether the road authority requires these parameters for the particular IAP Application.
The IAP also includes a self-declaration function which allows the driver or transport operator to manually declare any additional information that may explain non-compliant behaviour. Self-declared information is forwarded to the road authority by the IAP Service Provider as part of the non-compliance report.
The self-declaration function is an important feature of the IAP and should significantly reduce compliance costs for transport operators and road authorities.
The IAP Service Provider will begin monitoring the vehicle on the commencement date specified in the Intelligent Access Conditions (IAC) and report any non-compliant activity against the IAC to the relevant road authority.
