There are two main differences between the IAP and TMA:
1. Type-approved telematics hardware: The IAP requires specific, high Integrity devices, with controlled installation, maintenance and removal procedures. TMA allows for the use of a broader range of devices, with more flexible installation, maintenance and removal procedures.
2. Data shared with the road authority: The IAP shares Non-compliance Reports (NCR’s) with road authority. TMA shares data which has been collected through the application with the road authority, however, does not identify non-compliant events. (Information collected through TMA Is stored securely by Transport Certification Australia (TCA) and can be viewed by authorised road authority personnel within a 12-month period from the date of collection.)
