Live Tacho Data (LTD)
Know exactly who is driving and what they are doing
The Live Tacho Data Parameter Group provides real-time information from the digital tachograph, allowing fleet operators to see the current status of both drivers and the vehicle.
Live Tachograph Data for Smarter Fleet Planning
Instead of waiting for tachograph downloads or manual driver reports, planners receive live information about driver activity, driving status and vehicle movement. This enables better operational planning, faster response to unexpected situations and improved compliance with European driving and rest time regulations.
The Live Tacho Data Parameter Group is one of three Parameter Groups that together form the Squarell Tachograph Suite.
In accordance with digital tachograph legislation, drivers can choose whether certain personal information may be shared with third-party telematics systems.

Business Value
The Live Tacho Data Parameter Group gives fleet operators immediate visibility of driver activity without waiting for periodic downloads or manual communication.
Knowing which driver is currently operating the vehicle, what activity is selected and whether the vehicle is driving allows planners to make better operational decisions throughout the working day.
This improves dispatch efficiency, supports compliance monitoring and provides greater operational control across the fleet.
Why Squarell?
Many telematics systems only provide tachograph files after they have been downloaded.
Squarell goes a step further.
The Live Tacho Data Parameter Group continuously reports the operational status of the tachograph and the active drivers in real time. Combined with the Remaining Driving Time and Remote Tachograph Download Parameter Groups, Squarell delivers a complete integrated tachograph solution without requiring additional tachograph hardware.
