Smart tachographs application in monitoring and controlling the Operation of Vehicles and Drivers in „ITS“ Environment
ITS systems enable information transparency, manageability and improved response of the traffic system, so they have the epithet of intelligent. The application of ITS solutions on tachographs, as devices that record all the activities of truck and bus drivers, is defined in the ISO 14813-1:2015 Standard in the context of remote data transmission from tachographs. In view of the growing problems regarding violations of regulations on working hours and mandatory vacations for mobile workers, frequent manipulations and misuse of tachographs, as well as regarding the state of traffic safety and increasing environmental pollution, the EU has set stricter conditions in the field of driving these commercial vehicles in its regulations, in the manner of implementing the ITS system of smart tachographs, which brings significant benefits, especially in terms of the work of control authorities as entities that influence better compliance with regulations and the enforcement of legal regulations.
