Transport Certification Australia (TCA) and Trafikverket (Swedish Transport Administration) have announced, at this week’s inaugural meeting of the new OECD Workshop for High Capacity Vehicles in Paris, that the operational pilot of the Intelligent Access Program (IAP) in Sweden has now officially commenced.

The pilot of the IAP in Sweden – using certified Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) enabled telematics services to manage heavy vehicle access on the road network – follows the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Trafikverket and TCA during 2012.

Since the signing of the MoU, TCA has worked closely with Trafikverket, and a consortium of stakeholders from Sweden including Transportstyrelsen (Swedish Transport Agency) Lund University, CLOSER, the forest research institute Skogforsk, and heavy vehicle manufacturers Scania and Volvo.
