The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator’s (NHVR) National Network Map is now available through its Next Generation Route Planner (NGRP).
CEO Sal Petroccitto says this has been a goal of the NHVR’s since the planner first released in April 2022. He says this will help all vehicle networks stay up to date.
“The route planner has always been intended to support the National Network Map, to allow industry to more seamlessly plan and manage journeys across borders,” he says.
“Where previously map updates were delayed, now the NGRP will immediately reflect updates published by road managers to the National Network Map.
“The maps are displayed as layers for different vehicle networks., with industry operators able to overlay networks across state borders, as well as within borders, to determine the most efficient route for their journey.
“Over the coming months, extra functionality will become available to industry to allow routes to be planned by vehicle combination, with a view of the full access available to an operator’s fleet under vehicle network maps and their access permits.”
