4mobile Tacho - Mobile Tacho Data

4mobile Tacho - Mobile Tacho Data

4mobile Tacho is a cost-effective, web-based complete solution for the secure archiving and evaluation of driver and vehicle data as well as for the online display of driving and rest times. This enables logistics companies and freight forwarders to efficiently control and coordinate their vehicle fleets.

4mobile Tacho enables the readout of signed drivers and vehicle data as well as their automatic transmission via mobile radio connection directly from the vehicle to the head office without the vehicles having to return to the company premises. All you need to do is insert the company card into a card reader in the head office.

An on-board unit with a SIM card in the vehicle is connected directly to the digital tachograph so that the data can be read from the vehicle. When there is a change of activity, at least every 15 minutes, this vehicle box transmits the current data package on driver activities, vehicle information and vehicle position data from the digital tachograph to the 4mobile tacho system at 2-minute intervals. The scheduler can thus see the current driving and rest times and the remaining driving time budget of his drivers at any time. In this way, he knows how long his drivers are still allowed to drive and is also informed in good time of any infringements that may occur.

In compliance with legal requirements, all data is stored for 24 months in the high-security data center (ISO 27001) and displayed on a geographical map.
