The prototype website demonstrates how the front end of the National Freight Data Hub will make data available to industry, government and others to improve the efficiency, safety, productivity and resilience of the freight sector.
Feedback and lessons learnt on the prototype will help inform the next steps on delivering a National Freight Data Hub.
Data has been provided by industry and governments: industry has provided telematics and container data to the Bureau of Infrastructure and Transport Research Economics (BITRE); state and territory governments have provided truck count, road closure, road roughness and rest areas data, and the Australian Government has provided customs and road investment data, as well as Transport Certification Australia (TCA) telematics data.
