Continental’s DTCO 4.0 smart tachograph will come as standard with what the manufacturer calls an Intelligent Transportation Systems interface to allow it to deliver much besides functions relevant to roadside enforcement.
DTCO 4.0 enables direct toll processing, for example, even including an integrated on-board weighing system.
Many other applications are possible if secure data from the tachograph is shared with other processing systems. They include fuel levels and the driver’s working hours.
Continental has already developed interfaces allowing the exchange of this information
