Technologies to track and to locate

Across the aviation, rail, and maritime transport modes, tracking and locating technologies offer ways to improve people’s chances of avoiding or surviving an accident or incident and ensuring they can be found. TAIC inquiries in all three modes suggest opportunities exist for New Zealanders to get greater benefit from the life-saving technologies available to them. We encourage transport regulators to improve awareness of the significant safety advantages of using the most technologically advanced tracking and locating devices, and to regulate for this in some circumstances.
