Supports safer roads in Europe

As of May 1st 2006, all new freight and passenger vehicles weighing more than 3.5 tons and buses with more than nine seats throughout the EU must be equipped with a digital tachograph. This control tool collects and archives data such as date, time and distance covered, and enables more accurate monitoring of drivers’ driving and resting times.

The intention is to reduce road accidents caused by overtired drivers by simplifying and standardizing the collection and management of critical data about the number of consecutive hours driven. Every driver carries a digital driver card that downloads and stores all driver activities when inserted into the tachograph.

Until now, every driver had to read out information from the digital driver card and provide it to the transportation company. With the new CHIPDRIVE® Driver Card Software, drivers now can use a notebook computer to read out this information and call it in from the road, ensuring that proper rest periods are being observed and allowing transport companies to better track the location and status of each driver. If desired, the driver can also transfer the data using a notebook – simply via email with only one click. The software module displays all relevant data and can create private backup files for the user.

It is possible to show and manage the data from an unlimited number of people. Data of a new person are saved automatically when inserting the driver card in a smart card reader.
The data can not only be archived after a pre-defined time period, but can be later looked at.

Furthermore, there is a second page listing all vehicles and the person who has moved them when and how long.
Though such extensive functions, the ease of use is very high: the handling is simple and the graphic design is logic and easy to understand.
