About the scheme
The TMA Class 3 Truck and Dog Trailer Monitoring Scheme (QLD) uses the Telematics Monitoring Application (TMA) of the National Telematics Framework.
The scheme is made available by Transport and Main Roads (TMR) Queensland to enable access of Class 3 20m Long 3-Axle Truck and 4-Axle Dog Trailers on approved routes of the Queensland road network.
Eligibility
To participate in the scheme, transport operators must conform with the requirements specified within the National Class 3 20m Long 3-axle Truck and 4-axle Dog Trailer Mass and Dimension Exemption Notice. Enrolment in TMA is one of these requirements.
An applicable NHVR permit also provides conditions of travel for these vehicles that are required to be monitored on stated areas and routes in Queensland. The applicable permit may require mass and vehicle configuration to be monitored using a Category B or C OBM system (i.e. a ‘Smart OBM system’).
How to enrol
Step 1 – Choose an Application Service Provider (ASP) appropriately certified by TCA to offer TMA services. Assist the ASP with any information it needs to complete the enrolment process. If the applicable permit requires mass and vehicle configuration to be monitored, the ASP must also be certified to provide services for TMA with the Smart OBM feature.
Step 2 – Your ASP will ensure the telematics device is installed in your vehicle and certified by TCA. The telematics device will generate position records and report them to TCA.
Step 3 – If the applicable permit requires mass and vehicle configuration to be monitored, eligible vehicles must also be fitted with a TCA-approved Smart OBM system. Confirm with the service provider that a Smart OBM system is installed on the prime mover and trailers and is paired to operate with that certified service provider. The Smart OBM system used in the scheme will generate mass and configuration records. The ASP will report data records and enrolments to TCA.
