NRSPP commenced the development of adapting CLOCS to Australia whilst it was hosted at ARRB in 2018. NRSPP’s application to NHVR Heavy Vehicle Safety Initiative Road 3 was initially unsuccessful but following discussions with the Commonwealth later secured a reduced amount of $115,000 towards delivery of Phase 1. ARRB, as the NRSPP Host, was selected to deliver this work which was led by Stephanie Davy.
The deliverables of Phase 1 was completed, by ARRB, in 2020 and included the development of a CLOCS-A draft standard, establishment of a CLOCS-A website and an implementation plan.
ARRB continues to be part of the collaborative development of the CLOCS-A and features as part of its 2021 application to NHVR HVSI.
