Queensland adopts new road safety mobile app

The Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads Queensland have introduced a mobile app designed to enable transport workers to more efficiently improve road safety on the state’s roads.

The Queensland Compliance Information System has been designed based on a mobile app from Motorola Solutions. The system allows inspectors to record up to 3000 vehicle intercepts and issue up to 1000 compliance forms including infringement notices per month. The solution operates on Apple iPads and is accessible via a web management portal, enabling transport inspectors across Queensland to access real-time vehicle registration and licensing information.

Using the platform, a single vehicle intercept can be completed in as little as 15 minutes. The application also supports road safety at a national level by sharing Queensland’s heavy vehicle information with the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator.

Queensland Minister for Transport and Main Roads and Minister for Digital Services Bart Mellish said the application will help meet the state government’s commitment to improve safety on Queensland roads.

“The Queensland Government is committed to delivering a road network that supports our economy by enabling traffic to flow smoothly while providing a safe and pleasant journey for all road users,” he said. “By equipping Queensland’s road inspectors with the latest digital technology, they can better uphold the state’s road regulations and compliance requirements which ultimately benefits all road users in our state.”
