Real-time transmission of work-related data of drivers as an element of fleet management

Abstract

The introduction of digital tachographs does not bring much novelty in terms of time limits for drivers involved in road transport, but rather narrows the space for workload restrictions abuse. Combined with the telematic systems (GNSS - Global Navigation Satellite System), which in addition to tracking bring a multitude of data on the vehicle, this device allows for a direct transmission of data on driver’s work in real time (the hours worked and rest-time used) into the dispatch centre of the Carrier. The paper will present the importance of monitoring the driver’s activity and the observance of time limits for fleet management.
