Integrering av Digitala Färdskrivare och Telematik för den nya Europeiska Standarden

Sammanfattning

This Master of Science thesis project handles issues around managing data from the digital tachograph

system. European legislation states that companies must download the data of the digital tachograph system

and store it for at least one year for control purposes. The system stores data on the vehicle unit located in

the driving compartment and on smart cards personal for each driver.

Acquiring data from the previous analogue tachograph was done instantaneously since the data was

physically printed to a circular paper chart when driving. To acquire data from the digital system one must

perform a download from the vehicle unit and later transfer it to some form of backup solution for long

term storage. Data must also be downloaded from the driver smart cards.

Download of data from the vehicle unit is the most time consuming task and may take up to 30minutes per

vehicle. This should be done about every third month.

The thesis investigates methods of downloading data from the digital tachographs and connecting these to a

telematics platform. This would make it possible to transfer data from the vehicle directly for long term

storage in the office server.

Existing download tools are briefly evaluated, and possible new ways of performing downloads are

explored.

A prototype application is constructed which downloads data from the tachograph and automatically

uploads it to a server of choice. The solution is believed to simplify administration around the data

management.

The thesis main focus is on constructing this prototype on the telematics platform.
