	Tachograph - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tachographs are mandatory for vehicles that are allowed to carry a total weight of over 3.5 tons and vehicles which are built to carry at least 9 passengers as long as the vehicle is being used for commercial purposes.
		The tachograph is subject to numerous manipulations such as slightly twisting the marker, blocking the full path of the arm with a piece of rubber or foam, and short-circuiting the unit for short periods.
		The tachograph indeed serves as a measure to enforce regulations, however it is quite usual in Germany to investigate the tachograph records as a means by which to investigate and punish speeding.

	About Digital Tachograph
		Tachographs, or as the legislation calls them ‘recording equipment’, have been in use under the current European Union (EU) legislation (EU regulation 3821/85) for 16 years.
		These new generations of tachographs are also designed to allow operators to utilise the technology to enable low cost expansion to support other functions for fleet management.
		Digital tachographs are similar in appearance to a modular analogue tachograph eg 1324, 2400.

	Method for avoiding fraud on a taximeter or tachograph - Patent 6109520
		The dashboard is in that case conventionally equipped with an auxiliary output, which is electrically connected in parallel on this cable, and on which is connected the corresponding input of the taximeter: the pulses which are conveyed on this cable therefore supply the speedometer of the vehicle and the taximeter simultaneously.
		The situation is relatively similar concerning the tachographs with which trucks or lorries must obligatorily be fitted and which, as is known, serve at least to register on a disc the speed of the truck, the miles covered and the driver's work time.
		On the contrary, in the case of a tachograph, the defrauder's apparatus is then adjusted to deliver pulses of frequency 1.2 times less than that of the pulses of the sensor and, for the tachograph, everything happens as if the truck were advancing at a speed 1.2 times less than its real speed.

	EC Drivers' Hours And Tachograph Rules For Goods Vehicles FAQ
		The EC drivers' hours and tachograph rules are directly applicable in all EU Member States, including the UK, to vehicles used for the carriage of goods, which exceed a maximum permissible weight of 3.5 tonnes (see FAQ.2).
		If using the type of tachograph which automatically records any time the vehicle is in motion, a manual entry must be made on the reverse of the chart to indicate time spent driving "off-road" - ie.
		If using a non-automatic tachograph, the mode switch should be left on the other work symbol, and a manual entry made on the reverse of the chart, ie.

	EU Drivers Hours and Tachograph Rules for Road Passenger Vehicles FAQ
		Normally, under the EU drivers' hours and tachograph rules, for all international journeys undertaken in a vehicle with 10 or more seats you would be required to use a tachograph, even in cases where the vehicle is being used non-commercially for personal use.
		Hence, a tachograph would not be required for journeys made to the Republic of Ireland in a minibus with less than 17 seats (including the driver's).
		When driving a vehicle fitted with an analogue tachograph you must be able to produce the charts used, and any manual records or print-outs made, in the current week and those used or made in the previous 15 days.

		Over these years, the tachograph has developed from a largely mechanical device to one that is fully integrated with the onboard vehicle electronics and communication systems.
		The Tachograph and smart card data can be downloaded and analysed, giving the capability of using this data within a fleet management tool.
		The circular tachograph design, the 8400, which provides a conventional speedometer display and odometer together with the standard tachograph chart recording features of speed, duty, and distance, has been in production for more than 10 years.

		Their digital tachograph must, in order to provide print-outs, be activated and calibrated (and which must include the vehicle registration number).
		This then implies that if workshop cards are not available in their own countries, drivers will have to ensure that their tachograph is activated and calibrated en route during their first journey abroad at the nearest workshop from their national border.

	Department of Transport: Digital Tachograph
		Tachographs are instruments fitted in the cab of trucks and buses to record the driving times, breaks and rest periods of individual drivers.
		A digital tachograph is an electronic system for recording driving and rest times for drivers and co-drivers of commercial vehicles.
		In the same way as with the analogue tachograph, a digital tachograph will record a drivers activities driving, other work, breaks and rest by changing the mode switch, and swap the cards between driver and co-driver slots when double manned.

		Instead, she announced a moratorium on the digital tachograph directive's deadlines and gave an undertaking to write to member states and stakeholders with guidelines on transition periods.
		Unfortunately, delays by the tachograph manufacturers in introducing their equipment for type approval has meant that the proposed introduction date for the digital tachograph of August this year has had to be postponed.
		In terms of enforcement, the use of an analogue tachograph shall be allowed and respected in all vehicles, which have been registered before the end date of the period of extension, throughout the European Union.

	DSG - Research Demo: Smart Tachograph
		The project started from the insight that nowadays many of the traffic-related costs are not accounted to their originators, but rather spread across a larger group, mainly due to the impossibility of exact measurements.
		Sensors placed in the car gather data about the way and the circumstances in which the vehicle is being driven, this data is then analyzed on a computer to ascertain the according costs, and a software infrastructure serves as both back-end connection to various accounting entities as well as front-end interface to the vehicle's driver.
		The Smart Tachograph was developed with the explicit aim of showing what is already possible with today's technology and how far-reaching the consequences could be.

		The legal deadline for the introduction of the digital tachograph had been extended until 5 August 2005 but they say an extra period of tolerance is needed.
		The digital tachograph must be legally recognised and accepted by all Member States from 5 August onwards.
		The Commission is of the opinion that the rapid introduction of the digital tachograph is of utmost importance to the EU, not only for the enforcement of driving and rest times of professional drivers but also for the improvement of road safety and the guarantee of fair competition.

		The current UK tachograph calibration and tachograph repair schemes have been in place for over twenty three years and over thirteen years respectively.
		Since the introduction of the schemes, the specification for the tachograph has seen a number of changes, none of which has resulted in the need to make more than minor amendments to either scheme.
		In total, fourteen interviews were carried out with the current sponsors of the calibration scheme, the licensed repairers, the relevant trade associations and the two organisations responsible for the administration of the scheme; the Vehicle Inspectorate for the calibration scheme and the British Standards Institution for the repair scheme.

		The new tachograph is registrating every move you make with or without chart, so the police can give a penalty in case of fraud.

		As of March 2004 no digital tachograph has passed type approval, therefore it is extremely unlikely that compulsory fitment of DTCO will happen before August 2005.

	Digital tachograph thumbs down 24-05-05
		The European Union and its Member States are not ready for the introduction of the digital tachograph on August 5, 2005 and the European Commission and EU Transport Ministers are “irresonsible” in pushing ahead with the deadline the International Road Transport Union (IRU) has warned.
		IRU President Paul Laeremans said: “Manufacturers and road transport operators are doing their best to prepare, but the EU’s inability to agree on new driving and rest time rules means that all the work that has gone into getting the hardware ready is rendered useless, because the software cannot be finalised.
		The digital tachograph should help enforce road safety rules; implementing it chaotically sends out the opposite message and risks undermining respect for the rule of law within the EU – at a time when it is essential to harmonise the implementation and enforcement of EU legislation across the entire Union.”
