What is the "Tachograph graph" for? — tachograph block

Updated today

In the Online Map's "Tachograph" block, the "Tachograph graph" is one of the two graphs available when having tachograph data available on your vehicle.

This graph focuses on the vehicle rather than a single driver. Useful for:

  • Understanding how a specific vehicle was used throughout the day.

  • Seeing driver handovers and shift changes.

  • Checking vehicle utilization patterns.


What it shows

The tachograph graph shows what happened in that specific vehicle, giving you a clear view of its activity.

Unlike the driver’s graph, it includes two timelines — one for the main driver and one for the co-driver — so you can easily see how both drivers were using the vehicle.

The tachograph graph also makes it easy to see when different drivers took over the vehicle. You can clearly identify driver changes throughout the day, helping you understand who was driving at each moment and how the work was shared.


How to view it

  1. Go to Online Map.

  2. Click your vehicle to open it.

  3. Scroll down to the "Tachograph" block.

  4. Click on "Tachograph graph".
