Tachograph analysis

Tachograph analysis your drivers actually sign

Upload driver card and vehicle unit files, or let them arrive by secure FTPS or the API. Every shift is analysed against the EU and GB rules, every driver signs their own report, and the signed evidence stays on file for DVSA and the Traffic Commissioner.

From raw .DDD files to signed evidence

Everything between the tachograph download and the compliance file, handled in one place.

Driver card analysis to the EU rules

Every uploaded driver card file is analysed automatically against the EU drivers' hours rules in Regulation (EC) 561/2006, the working time rules for mobile workers and the tachograph handling requirements of Regulation (EU) 165/2014 - driving limits, breaks, rest, manual entries and card use.

Vehicle unit analysis

The vehicle unit tells the other half of the story: driving without a card, overspeeding events, tachograph faults and events, and the calibration record with the next inspection date - all read from the unit file.

Driver e-signature and TM countersign

Each infringement report goes to the driver to read and sign electronically, then the transport manager countersigns. Reports are bilingual - English alongside Polish, Romanian, Lithuanian or Bulgarian - so drivers sign something they understand.

Remaining hours at a glance

The current status view works out what a driver can still do today - driving left, break due, rest required - and the driver hours board lines the whole fleet up for planning.

Shifts wall chart

A month of shifts, rests and infringements per driver on one wall chart, built from the card activity itself rather than what the planner hoped happened.

Examiner-style infringement scorecard

Infringements are summarised the way a DVSA examiner lays them out, with indicative roadside penalty amounts from the graduated fixed penalty bands against each finding, so the cost of a bad month is plain.

Attestations that close record gaps

Days without card activity are flagged, and you can issue the official EU attestation of activities - annual leave, sick leave, rest, other work - so gaps in the record are explained before an examiner asks.

Aged-bucket tachograph cockpit

Time-to-debrief on unsigned reports, card and vehicle unit download ages against the 28 and 90 day rules, unaccounted mileage and tachograph clock checks - aged into buckets the way a DVSA auditor asks for them.

Report pack, wages and authority exports

A driver report pack for the compliance file, wages and timesheet exports built from card activity, and an authority export when DVSA or the Traffic Commissioner asks for your data.

Schengen 90/180 tracker

Country entries on the card feed a rolling 90-in-180-day Schengen count per driver, with a warning before the short-stay allowance runs out - not after the driver is refused at the border.

DCRS-style conduct scoring

Every infringement carries points by severity, drivers move through four action levels as points build over the trailing 12 months, and an alert names the action expected at each level.

Secure remote upload by FTPS

Point your download device or remote download provider at your private TLS-protected FTPS folder and files land in your account within minutes - with profiles created automatically for drivers and vehicles we have not seen before.

Developer API and webhooks

A REST API with webhooks lets your TMS or payroll pull analysis results, drivers, vehicles and files - or push tachograph files in - without anyone touching a browser.

Tachograph analysis questions

Which tachograph file types can I upload?

Driver card files (.ddd, .c1b, .tgd) and vehicle unit files (.ddd, .v1b, .esm), generation 1 and generation 2. Files are read instantly, the digital signature is checked, and each file is matched to the right driver or vehicle automatically.

Which rules does the analysis cover?

The EU drivers' hours rules in Regulation (EC) 561/2006 (and AETR), GB domestic rules, the working time rules for mobile workers and the tachograph handling requirements of Regulation (EU) 165/2014.

How does driver sign-off work?

The driver gets an email, reads the report in their own language with English alongside, and signs on their phone. The transport manager countersigns, and the signed PDF is stored with an audit trail. Unsigned reports are chased automatically.

Can I see how many hours a driver has left right now?

Yes. The current status view calculates remaining driving time, break and rest requirements from the latest card data, and the driver hours board shows every driver side by side.

Do I have to upload files by hand?

No. Upload in the browser if you like, but you can also point a remote download provider or download tool at your private FTPS folder, or push files through the developer API - new drivers and vehicles get profiles created automatically.
