Main Roads WA adopts heavy vehicle safety app with Motorola

Main Roads Western Australia has deployed a new mobile app from Motorola Solutions to enhance safety and productivity for heavy vehicle inspectors.

The transport agency maintains safety and reliability across the WA road network and provided employees with a localised version of the Regulatory Compliance Mobility Solution (RCMS) used by Australia’s National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR).

The RCMS app gives real-time access to heavy vehicle driver and company info, enabling them to issue digital notices during heavy vehicle intercepts.

Since using the app, NHVR has reduced roadside intercept times from 35 to 10 minutes.

The app removes the need for safety inspectors to complete many paper-based forms, while consolidating data needed to strengthen road safety for all drivers travelling between WA and Australia’s eastern states.

“By leveraging heavy vehicle compliance and enforcement data, Main Roads WA can keep all road users safe while preventing damage to the state’s road infrastructure,” WA minister for transport Rita Saffioti said.

Motorola Solutions’ RCMS mobile solution is built on the same public safety mobility platform that enables Western Australia Police officers to work safely and efficiently when responding to 000 emergency calls from the public.

“Our innovative mobile solutions simplify business processes and workflows for public safety agencies and other organisations, helping frontline responders to work with greater focus, accuracy and speed,” Motorola Solutions A/NZ managing director Con Balaskas said.

“These solutions give workers more time to focus on what matters most, supporting them to manage everyday tasks and helping them to resolve more complex events.”
