Tachograph Management

Advanced tachograph solutions for compliance, efficiency and performance

Transport managers have long faced the struggle of working out complex drivers' hours to ensure compliance. It has often been a 'best guess' approach to determine a driver's driving and working hours and to forward plan their daily and weekly transport activities.

ORBCOMM's tachograph management solution empowers transport managers to ensure drivers are fully compliant with EU and national legislation through up-to-the-minute reporting of daily, weekly and fortnightly status updates. It eliminates the need for third-party tachograph analysis vendors through live and historical working hours information, fully automated tachograph downloading and in-built infringement reporting.

The new TachoVision feature allows dispatchers to plan ahead by giving live access to complex, hard-to-calculate, forward-looking tachograph data like Drivers Rest Periods, Extended Driving Days and Compensation Rules. Make plans based on actuals instead of guessing, with information that was previously only available historically.

The Working Hours Analysis workspace combines social infringements, drivers' hours, working time, attestation of activities and calculations of fines and expense.

Plan Ahead with Live Data from TachoVision

• With TachoVision, see when and if weekly rest compensation is due, how much time needs to be compensated for, and when this needs to be taken by; how many extended driving days are available; how long the upcoming daily rest period is and the start date, time and duration of the upcoming weekly rest period – and much more.
• Remove the guesswork from planning with complex, hard-to-calculate, forward-looking data delivered in real-time, which allows driver managers to intervene where necessary to ensure rest times are properly managed.

Automate Tachograph Data Download

• Eliminate wait times and administration costs of manual tachograph downloads with automated, remote, scheduled tachograph downloads.
• Download each time a driver inserts their card into the tachograph or schedule to download at set intervals.
