Transport for NSW: AIS Update

R-Safety digital upgrade underway


A new R-Safety app is now being used by Mobile Safety Check Examiners to perform eSafety inspections. This marks the first step in a broader plan to eventually roll out the app to all fixed station examiners. 

 

A new R-Safety web portal is also in development. It will eventually replace AIS Online and give proprietors and nominees a more intuitive, accessible platform to manage their stations. 

 

Both the examiner app and proprietor portal are key parts of Transport’s digital transformation strategy. The goal is to deliver tools that are future ready, easy to use and fully supported.  

 

 Stay tuned for updates...

AI is now core to the latest generation of ADAS: deep-learning perception stacks, on-board real-time inference and sensor fusion enable crash-avoidance features that demonstrably reduce collision rates (notably AEB/FCW), while vehicle dynamics control is evolving from rule-based ESC to predictive, AI-assisted torque-vectoring and integrated stability management. Modern systems combine camera/radar (and in some programs lidar, mapping and environmental sensing) to detect, predict and act within fractions of a second; this increases safety but also creates new service obligations — precise sensor calibration, validated software/firmware management, authenticated OTA updates and documented post-repair procedures.

For workshops and maintenance operations that take a conservative, risk-averse approach to chemical use, changes to a product’s chemical formulation matter far more than marketing claims. LOCTITE’s latest generation of threadlockers represents a quiet but significant shift in this regard: a reformulation driven not just by performance outcomes, but by chemical risk reduction and sustainability considerations .
