The TMA PBS Vehicle Monitoring Scheme (WA) is a scheme that uses the Telematics Monitoring Application (TMA) of the National Telematics Framework.
The scheme is made available by Main Roads Western Australia (MRWA), as a trial to determine whether the TMA application, which operates at Level 2 Assurance, could provide sufficient data on movements of enrolled PBS vehicles at a level of assurance that MRWA requires. The trial will run for 12 months after commencement, and its efficacy will be assessed at the end of that period.
To participate in the scheme, transport operators must conform with the requirements specified within an applicable Western Australia government permit, available on the MRWA website. The permit describes eligible vehicles for the scheme and approved routes of the road network in Western Australia.
Eligible vehicles must be fitted with a TCA-approved telematics device.
Transport operators can enrol vehicles in the scheme by contacting a certified application service provider (ASP).
TCA must approve telematics devices used in the scheme. The telematics device used in the scheme will generate position records and report them to TCA. The ASP will report data records and enrolments to TCA no less frequently than weekly.
Unless required by law, TCA will destroy the telematics data it has received relating to the transport operator’s nominated vehicle(s) 12 months from its receipt of the data.
TCA will analyse data received through the TMA application, and reporting will be made available via the Telematics Analytics Platform (TAP).
