01
Infringements found weeks later
An infringement that surfaces at the end of the month is hard to explain and harder to correct. Each file is checked as it arrives, so the driver and the transport manager see it while the day is still fresh.
Tachograph Analysis
Tachograph analysis software for UK and Irish operators.
FleetInspect checks every driver card and vehicle unit file against EU drivers' hours rules (Regulation 561/2006) and road transport working time rules, and grades each infringement on the EU 2024/846 bands. Drivers review and respond in the mobile app, and the transport manager signs each one off.
Sound familiar?
The problems we built this for
02
Sign-off on paper
Printed reports, signatures chased round the yard, a drawer of forms. Drivers respond to each infringement on their phone and the transport manager signs it off on screen, with the history kept.
03
Working time is easy to miss
Drivers' hours get the attention, but the 48-hour average week and the night work limits catch operators out. FleetInspect checks both sets of rules from the same files and warns when a driver is at risk on the average.
04
Not every infringement is equal
A short break shortfall and a missed weekly rest are not the same risk. Every infringement is graded Minor, Serious, Very Serious or Most Serious, so the serious ones are dealt with first.
How it works
From file to sign-off, in four steps
Step 1
Files come in
Driver card and vehicle unit files arrive by remote download, by hand upload (.ddd, .v1b, .c1b and .tgd) or from another system using an API key. Gen 1, Gen 2 and smart tachograph 2 files are all read.
Step 2
Checked against the rules
Each file is checked against EU 561/2006 drivers' hours and road transport working time rules, with recording checks and vehicle unit events alongside, and every infringement is graded.
Step 3
The driver responds
Drivers see their infringements in the mobile app, agree or disagree with each one, and add a comment and photos. Your company decides whether a comment is required.
Step 4
The transport manager signs off
Each infringement is signed off, returned to the driver or voided. Infringements below a threshold you set can be signed off automatically, and reports go out as PDF, Excel or CSV on a schedule.

FAQ
Common
questions.
Straight answers on how FleetInspect analyses tachograph data.
What does tachograph analysis software do?
It reads the files downloaded from driver cards and vehicle units, works out each driver's driving, work, breaks and rest, and checks them against the drivers' hours and working time rules. FleetInspect lists every infringement with its severity, sends it to the driver to review and to the transport manager to sign off, and keeps the record.
Which rules does FleetInspect check?
Drivers' hours under EU Regulation 561/2006: continuous, daily, weekly and fortnightly driving, extended days, daily rest (using the method in European Commission Guidance Note 7), split and reduced rests, weekly rest and compensation, the six 24-hour periods rule, multi-manning, and ferry and train crossings. It also checks road transport working time, under the Road Transport (Working Time) Regulations 2005 in Great Britain and Directive 2002/15 in the EU: the 6-hour rule, breaks, night work, the 60-hour week and the 48-hour average over a 17 to 26 week reference period, with a warning when a driver is at risk.
How are infringements graded?
Every infringement is graded Minor, Serious, Very Serious or Most Serious using the bands in EU 2024/846. Operators in Great Britain see GB infringement codes, and operators in the EU and Ireland see EU codes.
Do drivers see and sign their infringements?
Yes. Each infringement appears in the driver's mobile app, where they agree or disagree with it and can add a comment and photos. The transport manager then signs it off, returns it to the driver or voids it. Whether a comment is required, and whether infringements below a threshold are signed off automatically, are settings for your company.
Can we use files from our current download method?
Yes. Upload .ddd, .v1b, .c1b or .tgd files by hand in the web app, or have another system send them in with an API key you create and can revoke. Gen 1, Gen 2 and smart tachograph 2 files are all read, and with Remote Tachograph Download added the files arrive and are analysed without anyone handling them.
What does it check besides hours?
Vehicle unit files are checked for overspeed events, driving without a card, a card inserted while driving, missing mileage, power interruptions and motion sensor errors. Recording checks pick up missing border crossings, country entries and ferry signs, and multi-manning slot errors.
Which reports can we get?
Driver and vehicle reports covering the last download and the next one due, activity calendars and weekly views, events, faults, calibrations with their next due date, company locks and control activity. They export as PDF, Excel or CSV and can be scheduled.
What does it cost?
It depends on the modules you take and the number of drivers, so we price it with you rather than publish a number that might not fit. Book a demo and we will give you a written quote for your fleet.
