Work and Rest Routine for Drivers
Wialon allows you to monitor whether drivers comply with AETR rules on work and rest hours.
The information about driver activity displayed in Wialon has no legal standing.
In this article, you can learn about the ways of monitoring the drivers’ work and rest routine and the AETR requirements that are considered in the system.
Monitoring drivers’ work and rest routine
To monitor the drivers’ work and rest routine, you can use the following methods:
-
Use driver tooltips which show data on driver activity in real time;
-
Use unit tooltips and extended information about units which can also show such data;
-
Run reports with the Driver activity and Infringements tables for a past period.
-
Work with the Tacho View application which allows you to analyze driver activity data in diagrams and report tables.
For the most accurate information in reports, use files from the driver card as a data source.
For further information about monitoring the drivers’ work and rest routine, data sources and tachographs, see Tachographs and Wialon.
Work and rest requirements
Below, you can see all the work and rest requirements that are considered in the system and the seriousness of infringements.

The exception to this is requirement 5, which refers to a calendar week (from 00:00 hours Monday to 24:00 hours Sunday).
