Revolutionizing Vehicle Registration Monitoring: Tasmania's Success with Aero Ranger

Andrew Wright, the Registrar of Motor Vehicles at the Department of State Growth in Tasmania, faced a unique challenge during the COVID-19 pandemic. Suspecting an increase in unregistered vehicles, the department needed a data-driven, cost-effective solution to verify this hypothesis and enhance their enforcement strategy.

Challenge

The task was to find a reliable and efficient method to monitor unregistered vehicles across Tasmania. The existing solutions, including those used by Tasmania Police, were unsuitable due to accuracy issues and a history of misreads. The department needed a solution that was accurate and easy to use and integrate into their existing systems.

Solution

Aero Ranger was introduced as the innovative answer to these challenges. Its installation process was impressively swift, with vehicles being off-road for no more than an hour or two. This seamless integration into their operations marked a significant turning point in the Shire's approach to community safety and efficiency.

Results and Benefits

After an extensive online search, Andrew discovered Aero Ranger. Impressed with what he saw, he reached out and quickly received a demo kit. The setup was straightforward, requiring only a brief phone call to get up and running. The department began testing the system in the Hobart CBD and across the state, receiving positive feedback from various teams.

Aero Ranger's impact was immediately evident. The AI capabilities of the system offered an impressive 95% accuracy rate, a significant improvement over the previous 50%-60% misread rate. This high accuracy reduced the need for manual data verification, streamlining the process. The online tool became integral to their daily operations, helping monitor team activities and understand vehicle volumes in different areas. The department records around 50-60,000 vehicle captures monthly, identifying about 1% of the Tasmanian fleet as unregistered. This data enables effective public education and targeted enforcement.

Andrew praises the positive relationship with Aero Ranger and the value of supporting an Australian company. He highlights the excellent data quality and usefulness of the system, recommending Aero Ranger not just for the Department of State Growth, but also for Tasmania Police, city councils, National Parks, and for broader applications like traffic monitoring and on-road enforcement.

Conclusion

Tasmania's Department of State Growth has seen remarkable improvements in monitoring and managing vehicle registrations with Aero Ranger. The partnership has resulted in more accurate data, efficient operations, and a proactive approach to vehicle regulation. This case highlights the potential of Aero Ranger to be a vital tool for various agencies across Tasmania and beyond.
