(16) Upon card insertion the recording equipment shall detect whether the card inserted is a valid tachograph card and in such a case identify the card type and the card generation. U.K.

If a card with the same card number and a higher renewal index has already been inserted in the recording equipment, the card shall be declared as non-valid.

If a card with the same card number and renewal index but with a higher replacement index has already been inserted in the recording equipment, the card shall be declared as non-valid.

(17) First generation tachograph cards shall be considered as non-valid by the recording equipment, after the possibility of using first generation tachograph cards has been suppressed by a workshop, in compliance with Appendix 15 (req. MIG003). U.K.

(18) First generation workshop cards which are inserted in the second generation recording equipment shall be considered as non-valid. U.K.

(19) The recording equipment shall be so designed that the tachograph cards are locked in position on their proper insertion into the card interface devices. U.K.

(20) The release of tachograph cards may function only when the vehicle is stopped and after the relevant data have been stored on the cards. The release of the card shall require positive action by the user. U.K.

3.2 Speed, position and distance measurement U.K.

(21) The motion sensor (possibly embedded in the adaptor) is the main source for speed and distance measurement. U.K.

(22) This function shall continuously measure and be able to provide the odometer value corresponding to the total distance travelled by the vehicle using the pulses provided by the motion sensor. U.K.

(23) This function shall continuously measure and be able to provide the speed of the vehicle using the pulses provided by the motion sensor. U.K.

(24) The speed measurement function shall also provide the information whether the vehicle is moving or stopped. The vehicle shall be considered as moving as soon as the function detects more than 1 imp/sec for at least 5 seconds from the motion sensor, otherwise the vehicle shall be considered as stopped. U.K.

(25) Devices displaying speed (speedometer) and total distance travelled (odometer) installed in any vehicle fitted with a recording equipment complying with the provisions of this Regulation, shall comply with the requirements relating to maximum tolerances (see 3.2.1 and 3.2.2) laid down in this Annex. U.K.

(27) This function shall measure the position of the vehicle in order to allow for the automatic recording of: U.K.

• positions where the driver and/or the co-driver begins his daily work period;

• positions where the continuous driving time of the driver reaches a multiple of three hours;

• positions where the driver and/or the co-driver ends his daily work period.

3.2.1 Measurement of distance travelled U.K.

(28) The distance travelled may be measured either: U.K.

• so as to cumulate both forward and reverse movements, or

• so as to include only forward movement.

(29) The recording equipment shall measure distance from 0 to 9 999 999,9 km. U.K.

(30) Distance measured shall be within the following tolerances (distances of at least 1 000 m.): U.K.

• ± 1 % before installation,

• ± 2 % on installation and periodic inspection,

3.2.2 Measurement of speed U.K.

(32) The recording equipment shall measure speed from 0 to 220 km/h. U.K.

(33) To ensure a maximum tolerance on speed displayed of ± 6 km/h in use, and taking into account: U.K.

• a ± 2 km/h tolerance for input variations (tyre variations, …),

• a ± 1 km/h tolerance in measurements made during installation or periodic inspections,

the recording equipment shall, for speeds between 20 and 180 km/h, and for characteristic coefficients of the vehicle between 4 000 and 25 000 imp/km, measure the speed with a tolerance of ± 1 km/h (at constant speed).

Note: The resolution of data storage brings an additional tolerance of ± 0,5 km/h to speed stored by the recording equipment. U.K.

(34) The speed shall be measured correctly within the normal tolerances within 2 seconds of the end of a speed change when the speed has changed at a rate up to 2 m/s². U.K.

3.4 Monitoring driver activities U.K.

(44) This function shall permanently and separately monitor the activities of one driver and one co-driver. U.K.

(45) Driver activity shall be DRIVING, WORK, AVAILABILITY or BREAK/REST. U.K.

(46) It shall be possible for the driver and/or the co-driver to manually select WORK, AVAILABILITY or BREAK/REST. U.K.

(47) When the vehicle is moving, DRIVING shall be selected automatically for the driver and AVAILABILITY shall be selected automatically for the co-driver. U.K.

(48) When the vehicle stops, WORK shall be selected automatically for the driver. U.K.

(49) The first change of activity to REST or AVAILABILITY arising within 120 seconds of the automatic change to WORK due to the vehicle stop shall be assumed to have happened at the time of vehicle stop (therefore possibly cancelling the change to WORK). U.K.

(50) This function shall output activity changes to the recording functions at a resolution of one minute. U.K.

(51) Given a calendar minute, if DRIVING is registered as the activity of both the immediately preceding and the immediately succeeding minute, the whole minute shall be regarded as DRIVING. U.K.

(52) Given a calendar minute that is not regarded as DRIVING according to requirement 051, the whole minute shall be regarded to be of the same type of activity as the longest continuous activity within the minute (or the latest of the equally long activities). U.K.

(53) This function shall also permanently monitor the continuous driving time and the cumulative break time of the driver. U.K.

3.5 Monitoring driving status U.K.

(54) This function shall permanently and automatically monitor the driving status. U.K.

(55) The driving status CREW shall be selected when two valid driver cards are inserted in the equipment, the driving status SINGLE shall be selected in any other case. U.K.

3.6 Driver's entries U.K.

3.6.1 Entry of places where daily work periods begin and/or end U.K.

(56) This function shall allow for the entry of places where, according to the driver and/or the co-driver, his daily work periods begin and/or end. U.K.

(57) Places are defined as the country and, in addition where applicable, the region, which are entered or confirmed manually. U.K.

(58) At the time of a driver card withdrawal, the recording equipment shall prompt the (co-)driver to enter a ‘place where the daily work period ends’. U.K.

(59) The driver shall then enter the current place of the vehicle, which shall be considered as a temporary entry. U.K.

(60) It shall be possible to input places where daily work periods begin and/or end through commands in the menus. If more than one such input is done within one calendar minute, only the last begin place input and the last end place input done within that time shall be kept recorded. U.K.

3.6.2 Manual entry of driver activities and driver consent for ITS interface U.K.

(61) Upon driver (or workshop) card insertion, and only at this time, the recording equipment shall allow manual entries of activities. Manual entries of activities shall be performed using local time and date values of the time zone (UTC offset) currently set for the vehicle unit. U.K.

At driver or workshop card insertion the cardholder shall be reminded of:

• the date and time of his last card withdrawal;

• optionally: the local time offset currently set for the vehicle unit.

At the first insertion of a given driver card or workshop card currently unknown to the vehicle unit, the cardholder shall be invited to express his consent for tachograph related personal data output through the optional ITS interface.

At any moment, the driver (resp. workshop) consent can be enabled or disabled through commands in the menu, provided the driver (resp. workshop) card is inserted.

It shall be possible to input activities with the following restrictions:

• Activity type shall be WORK, AVAILABILITY or BREAK/REST;

• Start and end times for each activity shall be within the period of the last card withdrawal — current insertion only;

• Activities shall not be allowed to overlap mutually in time.

It shall be possible to make manual entries, if required, at the first insertion of a previously unused driver (or workshop) card.

The procedure for manual entries of activities shall include as many consecutive steps as necessary to set a type, a start time and an end time for each activity. For any part of the time period between last card withdrawal and current card insertion, the cardholder shall have the option not to declare any activity.

During the manual entries associated with card insertion and if applicable, the card holder shall have the opportunity to input:

• a place where a previous daily work period ended, associated to the relevant time (thus overwriting the entry made at the last card withdrawal),

• a place where the current daily work period begins, associated to the relevant time.

If the card holder doesn't enter any place where the work period begins or ended, during the manual entries associated with card insertion, this shall be considered as a declaration that his work period has not changed since the last card withdrawal. The next entry of a place where a previous daily work period ends shall then overwrite the temporary entry made at the last card withdrawal.

If a place is entered, it shall be recorded in the relevant tachograph card.

Manual entries shall be interrupted if:

• the card is withdrawn or,

• the vehicle is moving and the card is in the driver slot.

Additional interruptions are allowed, e.g. a timeout after a certain period of user inactivity. If manual entries are interrupted, the recording equipment shall validate any complete place and activity entries (having either unambiguous place and time, or activity type, begin time and end time) already made.

If a second driver or workshop card is inserted while manual entries of activities are in progress for a previously inserted card, the manual entries for this previous card shall be allowed to be completed before manual entries start for the second card.

The cardholder shall have the option to insert manual entries according to the following minimum procedure:

• Enter activities manually, in chronological order, for the period last card withdrawal — current insertion.

• Begin time of the first activity shall be set to card withdrawal time. For each subsequent entry, the start time shall be preset to immediately follow the end time of the previous entry. Activity type and end time shall be selected for each activity.

The procedure shall end when the end time of a manually entered activity equals the card insertion time. The recording equipment may then optionally allow the card holder to modify any activity manually entered, until validation by selection of a specific command. Thereafter, any such modification shall be forbidden.

3.6.3 Entry of specific conditions U.K.

(62) The recording equipment shall allow the driver to enter, in real time, the following two specific conditions: U.K.

• ‘OUT OF SCOPE’ (begin, end)

• ‘FERRY / TRAIN CROSSING’ (begin, end).

A ‘FERRY / TRAIN CROSSING’ may not occur if an ‘OUT OF SCOPE’ condition is opened.

An opened ‘OUT OF SCOPE’ condition must be automatically closed, by the recording equipment, if a driver card is inserted or withdrawn.

An opened ‘OUT OF SCOPE’ condition shall inhibit the following events and warnings:

• Driving without an appropriate card,

• Warnings associated with continuous driving time.

The FERRY / TRAIN CROSSING begin flag shall be set before shutting down the engine on the ferry/train.

An opened FERRY / TRAIN CROSSING must end when any of following options occurs:

• The driver manually ends the FERRY/TRAIN CROSSING

• The driver ejects his card

An opened FERRY/TRAIN CROSSING shall end when it is no longer valid based on the rules stated in Regulation (EC) No. 561/2006.

3.7 Company locks management U.K.

(63) This function shall allow the management of the locks placed by a company to restrict data access in company mode to itself. U.K.

(64) Company locks consist in a start date/time (lock-in) and an end date/time (lock-out) associated with the identification of the company as denoted by the company card number (at lock-in). U.K.

(65) Locks may be turned ‘in’ or ‘out’ in real time only. U.K.

(66) Locking-out shall only be possible for the company whose lock is ‘in’ (as identified by the first 13 digits of the company card number), or, U.K.

(67) Locking-out shall be automatic if another company locks in. U.K.

(68) In the case where a company locks in and where the previous lock was for the same company, then it will be assumed that the previous lock has not been turned ‘out’ and is still ‘in’. U.K.
