Abstract
A method for granting permission for a vehicle to access a transport network includes an applicant electing in an electronic datafile one or more desired conditions of vehicle use for accessing the network and transmitting the electronic datafile via electronic transmission means to a third party for approval. If the electronic datafile is approved, the third party appends approval data to the datafile, such that the applicant is granted temporary permission to access the network in accordance with the elected desired conditions conditional upon, in a prescribed time frame monitoring hardware being installed in the vehicle, and a monitoring service being engaged to monitor use of the vehicle when accessing the network. When the third party is notified that the hardware has been installed and the service has been engaged the datafile is finalised, granting continued permission to access the transport network.
