3.1.5.1 Driver Activities
Driver activities include the following types of activities:
•
Driving
•
Work
•
Availability
•
Rest/Break
•
Specific condition
•
Work start/end place names.
When the vehicle starts moving, the activity for the driver slot will be automatically changed to
‘Driving’ and the activity for the co-driver slot will be changed to ‘Availability’. When the vehicle
becomes stationary after a period of driving, the activity for the card in driver slot will be changed
to ‘Work’ and the activity for the co-driver slot will stay at ‘Work’.
Drivers should take break after driving a continuous of 4 hour and 20 minutes. The tachograph will
display a warning message if the driver has driving vehicle for a continuous of 4 hour and 30
minute. When such a warning message appears on the screen, the user should take rest for at
least 15 minutes.
Whenever a driver or workshop card is inserted into the card slot, the tachograph application will
prompt user to enter work start place name. Use the arrow keys to scroll through available places.
And when a driver or workshop card is removed, the device will prompt the user to enter the work
ending place name.
Drivers can record their activities more discretely by setting specific conditions in case if the
vehicle is carried on a ferry or the vehicle is waiting at a train crossing. Specific condition activities
can be selected through AutoMonitor’s Tachograph menu. Users can select 3 activities type:
•
Out of scope (Begin)
•
Out of scope (End)
•
Ferry / Train Crossing
The
out of scope
activity could be selected when the vehicle is being driven for applications that
are out of the scope of the tachograph regulation such as on non-public roads, or regions where
tachograph regulations are not active.
