What Is Tachograph Analysis?

Tachograph analysis is the process of examining data recorded by a vehicle’s tachograph.  This data is collected by a device that’s installed in commercial vehicles such as vans, trucks, and HGVs allowing the vehicle’s owner to see things like:

  • Working hours
  • Driving behaviour – including speed and distance travelled
  • Unaccounted for mileage
  • Rest breaks
  • When a particular driver is available to take on new work

Tachographs not only ensure that drivers are sticking to legal requirements regarding driving hours and rest periods – no longer than 4.5 hours without taking a break or starting a longer rest period – it also helps transport managers identify potential compliance issues.  On top of this, is it can provide data-driven insights into optimising vehicle use and route planning.  This latter point is going to become increasingly important as AI starts using this sort of data to provide predictive analytics.

How does tachograph analysis work?

How does tachograph analysis work?

 Once upon a time tachograph analysis involved drivers completing paper discs on where they’d been, their mileage, date etc.  These analogue tachographs are becoming rarer as digital tachographs take over.  Digital tachographs not only make transport managers’ lives easier, but they can provide a far greater level of data with greater levels of accuracy.  If you’d like 2BCompliant to do your tachograph analysis all you need to do is:

  • Let us securely download the data from your driver cards and the tachograph vehicle unit (VU)
  • Once the data has been downloaded and uploaded to our designated tachograph analysis software, we do all the data analysis and create all reports and send back to you
  • We can also install remote downloaders in your fleet so they become fully remote and you’ll never need to worry about taking a vehicle off the road for a download to be completed.  With the remote downloader it completes a download daily so up to date data is at your fingers tips helping us to keep you compliant 
  • We’ll continue to assess the data and provide you with a detailed analysis and set of recommendations

It’s as easy as that, and we guarantee your data will always be securely handled.  To find out more please call us on 07875 444 486 or contact us and we’ll get back to you right away to discuss your needs.

Why Install Remote Tachograph Downloading Devices?

Operating vehicles under an operator’s licence means you have a legal duty to monitor and manage drivers’ hours and tachograph records. Failure to do so can lead to heavy fines, loss of your licence, and safety risks.

Remote tachograph downloading allows you to:

  1. Stay Legally Compliant
    • Automatically download vehicle unit and driver card data at legally required intervals (driver card every 28 days, vehicle unit every 90 days).
    • Store records securely in the correct format for DVSA inspections.
  2. Reduce Administrative Burden
    • Eliminate the need for manual downloads with cards and readers at the depot.
    • Save time chasing drivers for their cards or vehicles for upload.
  3. Avoid Penalties & Licence Risk
    • Catch potential hours infringements early with automated reporting.
    • Prove compliance instantly during roadside checks or audits.
  4. Improve Driver Safety
    • Monitor driving and rest patterns in near real time.
    • Reduce fatigue-related incidents by ensuring hours rules are followed.
  5. Increase Operational Efficiency
    • Data is available centrally, regardless of where the vehicle is.
    • Useful for fleet planning, maintenance scheduling, and performance analysis.

In short, installing remote downloading devices helps you stay within the law, protect your business, and keep your drivers safe — without the constant hassle of manual data collection.
