Easier analysis of tachograph data
Swedish traffic police are preparing to roll out a new analytical tool for checking driving and rest times. The program is to be made available to officers after training is completed, which is expected to cover all police officers conducting checks – reports Swedish transport portal trailer.se.
During roadside inspections, officers analyse data from the truck’s tachograph and the driver card. The previous software allowed route information to be read, but it required manually transferring the data to an external map.
Integrated map will streamline cabotage checks
The most important change is the built-in map function, which automatically visualises the route. As a result, police officers will be able to see more quickly how the vehicle moved during the period under review.
The new solution is particularly important in cases of suspected breaches of cabotage regulations or tachograph manipulation. Although it was already possible to reconstruct a truck’s route, it required additional steps and was more time-consuming.
More effective roadside checks
Introducing the new system means a clearer and more efficient analysis of data, which may translate into more effective detection of violations in road transport. For enforcement services, this primarily means time savings, and for the industry – a signal that oversight of regulatory compliance is becoming increasingly precise.
