National Network Map
Access a single, national map of Australia’s road networks (excluding WA, NT and Tas). Review your heavy vehicle-type’s access and determine whether a permit is required.
Road networks on the map are managed by the relevant road manager, ensuring up-to-date road information and national visibility.
PBS Approvals
Through the Performance Based Standards (PBS) scheme, improve productivity, sustainability and safety with innovative and optimised vehicle design.
Both PBS in-principal and PBS approvals can be managed through NHVR Go.
Access permits
Request permits for road access, with visibility over which jurisdiction manages the road network and access decision.
Whether a truck requires a permit is dependent on both the road network and heavy vehicle type.
Next Generation Route Planner
Plan your route to determine gazetted networks or pre-approved routes for your journey.
The Route Planner will be updated in the coming months to be access via the National Network Map, ensuring a more efficient and seamless routing experience.
Accreditation: Mass Management
For operators accredited in the Mass Management module, access additional mass concessions to allow vehicles to operate at Concessional Mass Limits (CML) for general access to the road network.
Heavy vehicle operators can apply for mass accreditation under the National Heavy Vehicle Accreditation Scheme modules.
Accreditation: Maintenance Management
For operators accredited in the Maintenance Management module, maintain your own vehicles (through compliance with all relevant road transport legislation.)
Heavy vehicle operators can apply for maintenance accreditation under the National Heavy Vehicle Accreditation Scheme modules.
Accreditation: Basic Fatigue Management (BFM)
Under Basic Fatigue Management (BFM), operate under more flexible work and rest hours, allowing for a working period of up to 14 hours in a 24-hour period, among other options.
Use BFM to access some flexibility regarding when drivers can work and rest, while ensuring the risks of driver fatigue are properly managed.
Accreditation: Advanced Fatigue Management (AFM)
Under Advanced Fatigue Management (AFM), ensure a genuine risk-management approach to managing heavy vehicle driver fatigue.
Use AFM to access more flexibility than standard hours or BFM, through demonstrating greater accountability for managing drivers’ fatigue risks.
Compliance: Vehicle Defects
Access a comprehensive overview of defect notices issued to individual vehicles across an entire fleet, enabling more effective tracking and earlier management of defects.
To view the Compliance Module, operators must utilise the Accreditation Module and complete the Registration linking service.
Discover our Road Manager Tools
National Network Map
Manage road networks through a single, national map displaying Australia’s road networks (excluding WA, NT and Tas).
Make close to real-time changes to the road network and view access decisions of other road managers.
Network Management Tool
Utilise a self- service tool to apply heavy vehicle access decisions and manage roads in near real-time.
Communicate network updates to permit holders where conditions need to be changed, among a range of other features.
Asset Capability Module
Access the self-service asset information system where thousands of assets have been added to the Asset Module to view and compare this data for bridges and culverts.
SLGAAP
Find information about the Australian Government funded initiative that assists to understand the interaction between heavy vehicles and their on-road assets, such as bridges and culverts, to optimise heavy vehicle access.
This project will also enable access to the National Automated Access System (NAAS) in the future.
Pavement Calculator
Calculate and assign a monetary value to the pavement impacts of different freight vehicles on the road network.
Estimate vertical pavement wear effects and costs from use of heavy freight vehicles, with consideration of factors such as pavement types, vehicle configurations, tyre sizes, and more.
Freight PASS
Make more informed access decisions about the types of vehicles requesting permits for the road network.
Compare and understand the differences in safety, productivity, and sustainability performance of more than 200 different heavy vehicle combinations.
National Automated Access System (NAAS)
Visit the Austroads website to find out more about the National Automated Access System (NAAS).
The NAAS will be accessible via NHVR Go and include a number of systems to support improved assessment of assets on a route for a required vehicle type.
Historic Access Reporting Tool (HART)
Analyse and visualise data from historic permit applications to determine where permit applications are being submitted for the same vehicle type on roads multiple times.
Together with the Rapid CBA, use the tool to minimise resource and cost burdens for approving permits.
Rapid Cost Benefit Analysis
Better understand how to manage access and permit requests by understanding the cost of administering these tasks.
Together with the HART, use the tool to minimise resource and cost burdens for approving permits.
