Eco Driving Trial Participation Terms

Last updated: 14 April 2021

Introduction

Linkt and Linkt Brisbane are trade marks of Transurban Limited used under licence by Queensland Motorways Management Pty Ltd ABN 86 010 630 921 (“Transurban” or “we” or “us” or “our” or “Linkt Brisbane”). We are conducting a trial (the “Trial”) in which participants will use a device which records their behaviour while driving to allow us to understand ways drivers could drive more efficiently.

By submitting a Trial registration form to us, you agree to participate in the Trial on these terms (“Terms”). If you don’t agree (or cannot comply) with these Terms, then you may not participate in the Trial and should not submit a registration form.

We may make changes to these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by sending you an email at the email address you provide on the Trial registration form and by publishing the amended Terms on our website at linkt.com.au/Brisbane. The amended Terms will apply automatically from the time they are published.

Please read these Terms carefully. They cover important information about the Trial including the things you agree to do if you are eligible and agree to participate.

The Trial has no impact on your Linkt account, and your Customer Service Agreement will continue to apply in addition to these Terms.

What is the Trial?

Participants will be required to install a device in their vehicle (the “device”) and download and register for a mobile application which interfaces with the device (the “mobile app”). The device and mobile app are supplied by GOFAR Pty Ltd ACN 610 842 656 (“GOFAR”).

Once installed, the device and mobile app collect certain data about participants’ driving behaviour on each trip, including:

  • breaking frequency;
  • acceleration;
  • idling;
  • coasting;
  • speed of vehicle and average speed;
  • fuel consumption;
  • distance travelled;
  • trip duration; and
  • CO2 emissions.

The objectives of the Trial include:

  • to evaluate driver behaviour; and
  • to evaluate the potential for changes in driving techniques and customer driver behaviour that may reduce fuel consumption and therefore carbon emissions.>

When will the Trial take place?

The Trial will start at 12am April 19th and continue until 11:59pm 6 June 2021, unless we tell you otherwise.

Am I eligible to participate?

To be eligible to participate in the Trial, you must:

  • own your own vehicle (which is not a motorcycle, or a vehicle used for commercial purposes or a non-compliant vehicle) and be the main driver of that vehicle;
  • be willing to install the device in your vehicle and keep the device in your vehicle for the duration of the Trial;
  • live in Queensland; and
  • have a mobile device running an Android or iOS operating system.
