What is the Chronotachograph
The Chronotachograph is a component of the on-board instrumentation of commercial and industrial vehicles. The instrument measures three parameters: vehicle speed, driver driving times, distance traveled.
The surveys are combined automatically and, on the basis of the EEC Reg. 561/2006, involve the immediate calculation of infringements of driving times. Tachographs are divided into two categories: the Analogue and the latest generation Digital ones.
Analogue Tachographs record the above-mentioned parameters on a diagrammed paper disk, Digital Tachographs instead on an electronic memory placed inside them.
