Frotcom’s Tachograph Remote Download module makes it possible for companies to obtain files without having to send someone to each vehicle, to retrieve data from the tachograph. The operation can be done over-the-air without leaving the office. Frotcom’s Tachograph Remote Download is targeted at transportation companies and other companies using heavy vehicles, in Europe, needing to obtain the tachograph and driver card files for legal purposes. With this new module it is now possible to download tachograph files remotely, from both the tachograph’s mass memory and the drivers’ tachograph cards. In the same scope, automatic driver identification is also possible by reading the number of the driver card inserted in the tachograph. This feature has to be activated in the tracking device, which has to be connected to truck’s CAN bus. Remote download stucture and components
