// How to download tachograph data
Downloading data from the digital tachograph is one of the legal obligations that the transport company for goods or people must fulfill. It is possible to download the data in two ways.
Using a manual download device to generate the driver's DDD files and the mass memory of the digital tachograph.
Remotely: using a DDD Box control unit with which it is possible to transfer all DDD files without physically getting on the vehicle (the 4G system works throughout Europe). The control unit transfers daily and automatically these files to an online server of SIAK SISTEMI, without the need for the company to use its own. The remote transfer has the advantage of providing always updated data, optimizing fleet management through a precise analysis of driver shifts.

// Frequently asked questions
Some of the most frequently asked questions regarding the downloading of tachograph data.
The DDD files to be downloaded from the digital tachograph are of two types: the data of the drivers and that of the tachograph. The data of the drivers mainly concerns driving and rest hours. The data from the tachograph (or mass memory) is always recorded, even when no card is inserted, and concerns all the statistics of the vehicle, including maintenance interventions.
The data download must be carried out at most every 28 days.
No. It is necessary for the company to possess this card because it allows the download of data, but it does not function in any way as a storage device.
No. To fulfill the control obligation, the company must necessarily analyze the DDD files extracted from the digital tachograph and prepare a Report every 90 days for its drivers, which must also include any violations and be co-signed by the individual and then kept for one year.
The company is held responsible and pays a penalty that corresponds to the number of shifts of the drivers absent from the archive. For this reason, it is fundamental to take all possible precautions in the preservation of the DDD files by entrusting them to secure and dedicated servers like that of SIAK SYSTEMS.
