Digital Tachograph Vehicle Unit Download

[Reda]

4Depending on which download device you have, you can now take a download using the buttons on the device. Many devices will allow you to choose between a full download of all data stored, or a partial download, constituting all data recorded since the previous download. Downloads can sometimes take around 5 minutes to complete.

Performing regular vehicle downloads can be a real chore, so many drivers opt to install a remote download device to their vehicles. These devices plug into the back of tachograph units and regularly transmit vehicle data to a third party, who sends the data on in a usable format to the vehicle's owner. This completely removes the need for manual vehicle downloads, and is often paired with a tachograph data analysis service.

TachoMagic is a supplier of remote download devices! They come with a custom cable bundle to make installation as easy as possible - it's simply a matter of matching the coloured plugs to the sockets! Once installed, it'll automatically perform regular downloads, without you having to lift a finger. Click the button below to read more about them, or visit our Shop page for pricing.

In Europe, it succeeded the analogue tachograph as a result of European Union regulation 1360/2002 [1] that made digital tachographs mandatory for all relevant vehicles manufactured after August 1, 2005. Digital tachographs would be required as of May 1, 2006 for all new vehicles for which EWG regulation VO(EWG)3820/85 applies, as is published in the official newsletter of the European Union L102 from April 11, 2006.

A digital tachograph system consists of a digital driver card, the tachograph head, and a sender unit mounted to the vehicle gearbox. The sender unit produces electronic pulses as the gearbox output shaft turns. These pulses are interpreted as speed data by the head.

The sender unit and head are electronically paired and the pulses from the sender to the head are encrypted, therefore deterring tampering by intercepting or replicating the pulse signal in the intermediate wiring.

As well as automatically receiving speed data, the tachograph records the driver's activity selected from a choice of modes. The 'drive mode' is activated automatically when the vehicle is in motion, and digital tachograph heads usually default to the 'other work' mode upon coming to rest. The 'rest' and 'availability' modes can be manually selected by the driver whilst stationary.

In Europe, drivers are legally required to accurately record their activities, retain the records and produce them on demand to transport authorities who are charged with enforcing regulations governing drivers' working hours. Regulation (EC) 561/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council[2] defines drivers hours.

When either memory bank is full, the oldest data is automatically overwritten with the current data. Design specifications prevent data being altered or deleted, therefore ensuring the integrity of the data for subsequent analysis and presentation in a court case.

Data can be locked in the tachograph head by using a company card. This ensures that the data cannot be retrieved by another company should the vehicle subsequently change ownership, or in the case or lease or hire vehicles that are used by many companies during their life. All data can still be retrieved by use of a control card or a workshop card.

Information is more explicitly defined in digital form and is less likely to be misinterpreted. When an analogue chart is visually analysed, a margin of error is present, dependent on the quality of the recording and the skill level of the analyst.

Without a digital card reader, computer and analysis software, the data can be more difficult to interpret as it is not visually represented as the analogue chart is, and requires mathematical calculations to decipher the information from its presented format. Some Renault branded tachograph heads can produce printed information in a graphical format, similar in appearance to the activity trace on an analogue tachograph chart.

These newer models connected with GPS receivers, secondary speed sensors and radio communication interfaces for authorities to remotely check for possible infringements avoiding this way the unnecessary roadside checks.

The aim of every fleet is to be more efficient regarding both fuel and time, all while maintaining legal compliance. Digital tachographs streamline the processes involved within these areas, making them an essential tool for fleet managers.

Digital tachographs are made up of three main components. Specifically, a vehicle unit, a motion sensor, and tachograph cards. A vehicle unit is essentially the central processing unit of a tachograph. As such, it contains a processor, in addition to a clock, two card slots, a digital display, a printer, a download connector, and a controller for manual entries.

Tachograph cards are used to identify a driver, and thereafter authorise access to the data which has been previously recorded. There are four different digital tachograph cards used to track vehicle usage, as well as those to enable setup and administration.

Digital tachographs have various benefits for fleets. This owes to the array of data they document. Foremostly, digital tachographs ensure regulatory compliance by providing accurate and reliable information on driver hours of service, an advantage which simultaneously improves driver safety due to it eliminating fatigue.

At MICHELIN Connected Fleet, we recognise the significance of keeping your drivers, as well as other road users, safe. Fleet safety begins with guaranteeing that drivers are in a condition suitable to operate vehicles, that which digital tachographs facilitate.

At MICHELIN Connected Fleet, we always start our journey with you by understanding and identifying your business challenges; this is key so that our recommended solutions and services can be tailored to your operations and business.

The installation of a digital tachograph has been mandatory for new vehicles brought into service from May 1st, 2006, as well as for the replacement of an analogue tachograph that has broken down on vehicles transporting passengers over 9 seats and on vehicles over 3.5 tonnes registered since January 1st, 2003 if technically feasible.

Digital tachographs consist of the vehicle unit, motion sensor and tachograph cards. The vehicle unit is the mother brain of the tachograph, it has a processor, a clock, two card slots, a display, a printer, a download connector and a controller for manual entries.

Data is stored as a .ddd file that can be imported into tachograph analysis software. In Spain and France the .ddd files have different formats. In Spain the digital tachograph files format is .tgd and in France there are 2 types of digital tachograph file formats: the vehicle information is stored in the V1B format and the driver data is stored in the C1B format.

Data can be locked in the tachograph unit by using a company card. This ensures that the data cannot be retrieved by another company if the vehicle changes ownership. All data can still be retrieved by use of a control card or a workshop card.

There are four types of tachograph cards. The driver card, the control card, the workshop card and the company card. Driver cards are used by drivers to record driving, rest and activity information. Control cards are used by law enforcement agencies to retrieve data from the tachograph. A control card is able to override any company lock put in place by operators. Workshop cards are used by authorised and official tachograph technicians to calibrate, install or repair tachographs. Company cards are used by operators to retrieve data from the tachograph regarding their employees and vehicles. Companies can also lock information using their company card or authorise third parties, including telematic providers, to collect data.
