RTMS Vision 2012 RTMS will be a nationally recognised self-regulating scheme for heavy vehicle road transport, resulting in a safe, equitable and competitive heavy vehicle logistics value chain. RTMS MISSION To provide a national certification scheme (standards, auditors, manuals) and implementation support (information portals, recognition, technology transfer) for heavy vehicle road transport to consignees, consignors and transport operators, focusing on: • Load optimisation; • Driver wellness; • Vehicle maintenance; and • Productivity. Standards The national steering committee identified the need to develop the standards based on a phased approach, and the starting point chosen was the standard developed for the forestry industry. Once the SA RTMS national standards have been tried and tested, it is planned that these standards will be made available through the SABS for adoption as a harmonised SADC standard. The final phase would be to propose the standard as the basis for the development of an international ISO standard for road logistics. The proposed process is shown in Figure 3. Structure The proposed RTMS structure is shown in Figure 4. The National Steering Committee has been functional since July 2004, and a Technical Working Group was established in November 2005. There are currently three industry steering committees (forestry, mining and asphalt). To date there has also been strong participation and support from the NDoT, SANRAL and the KwaZulu-Natal DoT as well as various corporate sponsors and associations (FSA, ICFR, Chamber of Mines, <strong>Sabita</strong>, ASPASA, SARMA, RFA). Development process In August <strong>2006</strong> the SABS was approached to develop the RTMS as a national standard. Through a consultative process, it was 162
