  • Transdev Australasia Submission For: NTC - Developing a Heavy Vehicle Fatigue Data Framework
    Transdev Australasia submission for: NTC - Developing a heavy vehicle fatigue data framework Company Overview Transdev Australasia (Transdev) is a public transport operator in Australia and New Zealand − delivering more than 120 million customer journeys each year. The company employs 5,300 staff across five modes of transport in seven distinct locations across Australasia. Transdev has light rail operations in Sydney, and bus operations in metropolitan Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Darwin. It operates ferries in Brisbane and in Sydney in a joint venture with Transfield Services. Response for consideration Summary of Fatigue issues – In principle, Transdev considers that the heavy vehicle fatigue data framework (the framework) is a step in the right direction for industry. The Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) and framework should encapsulate every aspect of compliance, monitoring and review across all states and territories prior to establishing standard data criteria for the framework. This means that legislation, policy, enforcement, medical standards, data capturing and reporting all need to be consistent or standardised across all jurisdictions. The HVNL currently regulates heavy vehicle driver fatigue in every Australian jurisdiction except WA and the NT. With regards to priorities in the operation of Metropolitan and Regional busses, it is the quantity and quality of sleep that impacts on driver well-being, which in turn affects their fitness to work and should be examined together as a whole. The framework was established for heavy vehicle drivers who typically do long haul journeys that are most at risk. The current framework has a minimal focus on Metropolitan/Regional bus drivers, who work shifts and fluctuate under / above the 100km radius.

  • PORTFOLIO of EXPERTISE Bus Services Connecting New Lines, Together
    PORTFOLIO OF EXPERTISE Bus services Connecting new lines, together. Drawing from our long experience as a multimodal operator, we look forward to assisting you with the construction and optimization of your mobility systems and services. Our ambition is to develop with you, in a genuine spirit of partnership, customized, safe, effective and responsible transit solutions that are adapted to your needs and constraints and closely in tune with customer expectations. The mobility of the future will be personalized, autonomous, connected and electric. This is our firm belief. Innovation is at the heart of our approach, in order to constantly improve the performance of public transportation services and make the promise of “new mobilities” a reality, for everyone. As well as uncompromising safety, which is our credo, our overriding concern is the satisfaction of our customers and the quality of their experience. Every team member in the group engages on a daily basis to meet these challenges and implement solutions both for today and for the future. Thierry Mallet Chief Executive Officer Renaissance for bus services There was once a feeling that the common transit bus had become a ‘lost’ or ‘secondary’ mode of public transit trailing behind metro and light rail systems, which often took the spotlight. The perception has changed in recent years, supported by public leaders with ambition of multi- and intermodal networks in which buses truly complement, cultivate and support mobility. Re-inventing bUSES Today’s modern bus concept is no longer that of a stagnant spider-web network of oversized, loud and loitering To achieve these goals for transit authorities and “diesel guzzlers”, but rather a dynamic and integrated customers, continuous service design and evaluation of set of services, supported by interactive communication network capacity is necessary to meet people’s evolving technologies, attractive and eye-catching branding and expectations and behaviors.
