HVTT11 International Heavy Vehicle Symposium

 

The symposium is designed to provide an open exchange of ideas and discussions amongst legislators, road administrators, academics and consultants, vehicle manufacturers and suppliers, transport organisations and transporters.

WHEN:  14/03/2010 to 17/03/2010

WHERE:  State Library of Victoria

STATE:  NSW

COUNTRY:  AUS

Balancing competing needs in heavy vehicle transport technology This four-day symposium will bring together some of the best technical, policy, safety and environmental experts from around the world. It will span the range between transport technology and transport policy and demonstrate the role of technology in shaping future policy.
 
The four days will feature technical sessions on braking, road wear relationships, and the performance of ‘road-friendly’ suspensions. Others will discuss heavy vehicle compliance including electronic log books, electronic route compliance and operator accreditation to ensure vehicle condition and compliance with mass regulations.
 
Policy sessions will include discussion of the link between growth in road transport and GDP growth.
 
Plenary sessions will focus on key policy issues including:
• Outcomes of the OECD/International Transport Forum Working Group on Heavy Vehicles: Regulatory, Operational and Productivity Improvements.
• Application of performance-based standards in Canada and Australia including the use of more flexible regulation of heavy vehicles.
• Higher-capacity vehicles around the world.
• Tradeoffs – how to balance community, safety and environmental imperatives alongside the need for improved productivity and access for freight movement.
 
The social side has not been overlooked, with an official cocktail welcome by the Victorian Minister for Roads and Ports, the Symposium dinner in the magnificent Queens Hall at the State Library of Victoria and the opportunity to meet and exchange views in the symposium’s own Experimedia Lounge.
 
Melbourne as a venue is superb, with a range of accommodation only a few minutes from the historic conference venue at the State Library of Victoria which is in the heart of the city.
 
Immediately following the symposium, delegates are invited to attend the International Truck Trailer and Equipment Show running from Thursday 18th to Saturday 20th March. Over 350 exhibitors including all major truck and trailer manufacturers will be on show in Melbourne, with delegates able to speak directly with the designers, innovators and engineers that produce cutting edge technology for the ever-changing needs of the Australian transport market.
