Tachograph analysis software will assist transport managers and road transport operators in managing and analysing their tachograph data to ensure compliance with laws such as drivers’ hours in order to avoid hefty fines.
In the 1980s, tachographs were required for all HGV vehicles in the EU. The tachograph Software gives an accurate picture of what a driver has been doing and whether or not they have infringed the law by tracking speed and distance. All cars above 3.5 tonnes sold in the UK must now comply with a legal requirement to be equipped with a digital tachograph.
A tachograph records information about the vehicle and as a transport operator, you are obligated by law to regularly review tachograph records and have a reliable system to preserve these records so that you can monitor your drivers’ behaviour.
The working time directive and the drivers’ hours law set maximum driving, resting and on-duty times for drivers. Heavy fines and licence loss may result from breaking these laws.
However, managing your tachograph analysis can often be time-consuming and hectic when you have many drivers, vehicles and depots across the UK. This is where we at Ridgeway Training come in. Our team has introduced a unique way of collecting driver card and vehicle unit data from digital tachographs.
This is achieved by helping companies to download driver card files and vehicle unit data automatically based on their requirements. This minimises the time spent managing the process and reduces expenses while protecting the business in terms of compliance.
What you intend to do with the data will determine your required software. You might utilise a straightforward desktop-based software package that costs a one-time purchase fee if you only need to follow the minimum steps to comply with legal requirements. Typically, this software allows you to download driver card and vehicle unit data, save the data on your computer’s hard disc in the proper data format and periodically review the data.
