Truck telematics data
This work was supported by the iMove CRC and our industry partner Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, and Communication.
Context
High-quality freight and truck telematics data collated and visualised to suit a wide range of decision requirements of various stakeholders to help better inform policy decisions and business operations across Australia road infrastructure and transport networks. This project will develop a tailored roadmap for the governance of truck movement data by systematically analysing current and future policy and data sharing landscape for truck telematics data. This project brings together an interdisciplinary team of QUT researchers with expertise in data architecture technologies and solution design, digital infrastructure strategy, transport planning, telematics data services, and social justice and a strong track record in successfully delivering industry relevant outcomes to design the proposed roadmap.
The project aims to
- Examine the current and future policy and data sharing landscape for truck movements data in Australia;
- Systematically analyse the future data architecture and system requirements to access, use and dispose of truck telematics data; and
- Develop a clear and tailored roadmap for efficiently collecting and managing truck telematics data from a range of partners efficiently and securely.

Project Outcomes
The project will directly support one of the priorities of the NFDH to evaluate the suitability of the already available truck telematics data from the Bureau of Infrastructure and Transport Research Economics (BITRE) and from Transport Certification Australia (TCA) and provide recommendations regarding the accuracy and usefulness of visualisations and catalogue data (datasets for future release under an enduring NFDH website), noting the different governance arrangements covering various existing collections.
