A tachograph is an electronic device used in vehicles to track drivers' activity and rest times. It is a critical tool for complying with regulations and standards set by government agencies such as the RDW (Rijksdienst voor het Wegverkeer). Tachographs record information such as speed, distance, driving times, and breaks, invaluable for both transport companies and government agencies in maintaining traffic safety and preventing driver fatigue.

Rules and regulations

In the Netherlands, rules and regulations regarding tachographs are stringent. The RDW plays a crucial role in enforcing these rules and approving tachograph systems. One of the upcoming obligations is the mandatory installation of new tachographs in vehicles, effective from August 21, 2023, as indicated by the RDW. This new generation of tachographs will be more accurate, ensuring improved recording of driving and rest times.

Managing tachographs can be a complex and time-consuming task. Transport companies need to ensure proper installation, accurate data recording, and compliance with legal requirements. Additionally, regular reading of tachograph data is necessary to ensure correct tracking of driving and rest times. This is where Regent comes in.
