Remote Tacho Download by TSP (RTDC)
Build your own Remote Tachograph Download solution
Many telematics service providers already operate their own backend platform for scheduling, communication and compliance management.
The Remote Tacho Download by TSP (RTDC) application allows these platforms to integrate Remote Tachograph Download directly into their existing environment while using the proven communication capabilities of Squarell IVMS devices.
Squarell provides the vehicle-side functionality; the TSP controls the download process.
Why Remote Tachograph Download?
European legislation requires transport companies to periodically download tachograph and driver card data.
Typically:
- Vehicle Unit data every 90 days
- Driver Card data every 28 days
Manual collection is labour-intensive, time-consuming and increases the risk of missed downloads and regulatory penalties.
How RTDC works
The Squarell IVMS establishes communication with the vehicle tachograph.
The Telematics Service Provider manages:
- Download scheduling
- Authentication
- Company card communication
- Download requests
- Storage of downloaded files
When authorised commands are received, the Squarell device performs the Remote Tachograph Download and transfers the requested data to the TSP platform.
Business Benefits
- Complete control of scheduling
- Integration with existing compliance platforms
- Automated tachograph downloads
- Automated driver card downloads
- Reduced manual administration
- Lower risk of missed downloads
- Supports European compliance requirements
Ideal for
RTDC is intended for organisations that already operate:
- their own telematics platform;
- their own compliance software;
- their own download scheduler;
- their own company card infrastructure.
This provides complete control over the Remote Tachograph Download process while using Squarell IVMS hardware in the vehicle.
