Generating the “Tachograph infringements” report

Who can do it: Service provider, Customer
Where: Wialon Platform FleetSpace

Prerequisites
  • The Tachograph control module is enabled for the customer.
  • The Drivers module is enabled for the customer account.
  • The user has the Read permission on drivers.
  • The user has the permission to request history on devices.
  • Tachograph files are requested and downloaded for the drivers you want to include in the report.

The Tachograph infringements report shows the driving and rest time violations detected in the downloaded tachograph files, based on EU Regulation 561/2006. Use it to check which drivers exceeded the legal limits, how serious each violation was, and how long it lasted.

Generating the report

To generate the report, follow these steps:

  1. In Wialon Platform FleetSpace, go to the Reports page.
  2. In the report type list, select Tachograph infringements.
  3. Click the Period, UTC field, specify the report period, and click Apply.
  4. In the drivers list, select one or more drivers.
  5. In the severities list, select the severity levels you want to include, or leave All severities selected.
  6. In the infringement types list, select the types you want to include, or leave All infringement types selected.

The report is generated automatically after you select the drivers, severities, and infringement types. To reset a filter, click the icon grey cross icon next to it.

The report period and all infringement times are shown in UTC, not in your account time zone. This matches the way tachographs record data, so the values can be compared with the original tachograph files.

Report results

The report is organized into two parts: a summary at the top and a detailed table below.

Summary

At the top of the report, a summary section shows the number of drivers with at least one infringement in the selected period, and the number of infringements of each severity level:

Card Description
Drivers The number of drivers that have at least one infringement matching the selected filters.
Most serious The number of the most serious infringements.
Very serious The number of very serious infringements.
Serious The number of serious infringements.
Minor The number of minor infringements.

Report table

The results are grouped by driver. The collapsed row shows the driver name and the total number of their infringements. Click the icon to expand the row and see the individual infringements.

Column Description
Driver The name of the driver. In the collapsed row, the Infringement type column shows the number of infringements found for this driver.
Infringement type The rule that was broken, for example, Weekly driving limit exceeded.
Article The article of EU Regulation 561/2006 that defines the rule, for example, Article 6(2).
Severity The severity of the infringement, shown as a color-coded chip. See Severity levels.
Begin, UTC The date and time when the infringement started.
End, UTC The date and time when the infringement ended.
Duration How long the infringement lasted.

To sort the table, click a column header. Click the header again to switch between ascending and descending order. By default, the infringements are sorted by the Begin, UTC column.

Severity levels

The severity of each infringement is defined by EU Regulation 561/2006 and depends on how far the driver went beyond the limit:

Severity Chip color
Most serious Red
Very serious Orange
Serious Yellow
Minor Blue

For example, if a driver starts the weekly rest too late, the infringement is Minor when the rest starts less than 3 hours late, Serious when it starts 3 to 12 hours late, and Very serious when it starts 12 hours late or more.

Questions and answers

Why is a driver missing from the report?

The report is built from downloaded tachograph files. If no files were downloaded for the driver for the selected period, the driver has no infringements to show. Check the driver’s files on the Tacho files tab of their profile and request the missing files.

Drivers without infringements matching the selected filters aren’t shown either.

Why does the driver name look like a card code?

If a row shows a card code instead of a name, the card code from the tachograph file doesn’t match any driver in the system. To resolve this, create a driver profile with the matching driver card code.

How do I see what exactly the driver did wrong?

Open the Tacho activity tab in the driver’s profile and click the day with the infringement. The day details show the activity periods of the day and a short explanation of each infringement, for example, Drove 37 hrs 30 mins with no break or rest at all. For details, see Viewing driver activity chronography.
