The digital tachograph of VDO
What are my legal obligations as a fleet operator?
Since May of 2006, all newly licensed HGVs of more than 3.5t and vehicles for the conveyance of more than 9 passengers including the driver must be equipped with a digital tachograph, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 561/2006.
Data that was recorded on tachograph charts in the past is now electronically stored in the mass memory of the digital tachograph and on the driver card. To fulfil your legal obligations as a fleet operator, you must regularly download and archive the data from your digital tachographs and driver cards.
The tasks and obligations involved in complying with Regulation (EC) No. 561/2006 are listed below for you.
Digital tachograph Company preparations The digital tachograph is activated before the ve icle is commissioned. An authorised workshop must then h calibrate the digital tachograph for the vehicle within 14 days and enter the vehicle registration number. Every company must have at least one company card. A person who drives a digital tachograph-equipped HGV must possess a valid driver card. Printing paper must be inserted in the digital tachograph. We recommend that you keep sufficient replacement rolls of printing paper in the vehicle. Archiving data Driver card data must be downloaded and electronically archived every 28 days* at the latest. Digital tachograph data must be downloaded and electronically archived every 3 months* at the latest. Archived data must be stored for at least 1 year*. Backup copies of data must also be made. In accordance with the pertinent regulation for driving crews, the data must be deleted upon expiry of the data storage time limit.
* Legislation may be country-specific and must be adhered to accordingly.

What kind of data can the DTCO 1381 record? Driving time, working time, availabi lity time and rest periods for drivers and co-drivers The speed driven during every second of the previous 168 hours of driving time The distance driven since the driver card was last inserted Operation-specific parameters like, for example, rpm and other vehiclerelated work procedures and events
Where is the recorded data stored? Vehicle-related data is stored in the integrated mass memory. The capacity of the integrated mass memory is sufficient for recording approx. 365 days of activities. Driving times and rest periods are also registered on individual driver cards. Up to 28 days of data can be stored on a driver card.

What benefits can the DTCO1381 offer me?

High level of data protection thanks to various access rights Four different chip cards specify who can access specific DTCO 1381 digital data. Driver cards store driver activities, events, faults and vehicle changes, but do not enable data downloads. The company card authorises fleet managers to download vehicle data from the mass memory and driver data from inserted driver cards. The control card enables authorities to access data for legal purposes. The workshop card switches on the calibration function of the DTCO 1381. Authorised work shops can also use it as a driver card for testing and inspection pur oses. p

What functions are available with the DTCO 1381 Rel. 1.3U?
As part of our policy to cater fully to the requirements of our users and react quickly to legal and technical changes, we constantly research the market to ascertain the experiences and needs of existing and potential customers and we act upon what we have learnt by implementing new functions.
The expanded functions of the DTCO 1381 Rel. 1.3U an overview Graphical printouts of speed profiles plus status and activity protocols provide an efficient overview at a glance and facilitate monitoring procedures. Early warnings for upcoming i s n pections and for tachograph cards the validity of which is about to expire, ensure that your company operations will run smoothly. More languages like Russian, Croatian, Turkish, etc. Additional recorded data like o m do eter readings when the vehicle stops, status changes and additional speed data provide useful business management information. The Fast Download function reduces download times to a fraction of the time normally required.

Graphical printouts

Concise printouts in the form of bar graphs and graphs display easy-to-read speed profiles of the previous 24 hours, plus driving time and rest periods for the previous 7 days; so you know at a glance if infringements exist and can then react in a timely manner.

Early warnings

With DTCO 1381 Rel. 1.3U, drivers, company owners, workshops and controlling bodies are given timely warning that their individual tachograph cards will soon expire. Advance warning times can be individually set between 0 (OFF) and 90 days. When the defined advance warning time is exceeded, the warning message will be displayed on the display of the DTCO each time a card is ejected. Advance warnings can also be set for periodic inspections of the DTCO.

Storing additional data

In addition to the legally prescribed storing of driver and vehicle-related data, the DTCO 1381 Rel. 1.3U also records additional data which you can use for further processing and evaluation in a data management solution like e.g. TIS-Web or TIS-Office : 168 hours of detailed speed The DTCO registers the speed driven during the previous 168 hours of driving time, second by second. In contrast to the legally prescribed recording of the previous 24 hours, this speed data is not signed and this results in a significant reduction of download times. Odometer reading when vehicle stops In compliance with the pertinent legal regulation, the DTCO records the current odometer reading and saves it in the mass memory each time the vehicle stops for longer than two minutes. Odometer reading when driver status changes The current odometer reading is saved whenever a driver event (like a change of status) occurs.

Fast Download

The Fast Download function significantly reduces the download time of legally required data (activities of the previous three months).
Depending on your company-specific requirements, VDO offers you various integrated and custo mised data management solutions. Ask your VDO service partner for more product information about individual solutions or visit our website at www.dtco.vdo.com
Remote Download efficient data transfer by wireless
One especially convenient function the DTCO 1381 offers you is the easy, fast and efficient wireless transfer of mass memory and driver card data by means of the Download Device (DLD ).
All you need is an update card to activate the DTCO 1381s front interface for wireless transmission. The chip card must only be inserted once into the DTCO 1381 the update will then be carried out automatically. One major advantage of wireless transmission is that the download process is controlled from the office computer, which means that the company card can stay in the office. Driver and vehicle data can then be downloaded in compliance with the legal deadlines for downloading and transferred directly to the archive. This means that you can access fleet-relevant data whenever you want.
