Continental Commercial Vehicles & Aftermarket has  announced its new VDO RoadLog electronic on-board recorder (EOBR) for the  commercial vehicle market.

  RoadLog is a simple, all-in-one system for daily log book  and other compliance reporting. It is designed to allow drivers and fleets to  record and report hours of service (HOS) and other key compliance data quickly,  easily, and without monthly fees.

  RoadLog can automatically track the driver’s time in one  of four categories: On-duty, Driving, Sleeper Berth, and Off-duty, and provide  a warning if allowable limits will be exceeded. The driver’s data can be  transferred in seconds from a USB without the need for a smartphone.

  The system features a built-in printer, which provides an  instant paper report of daily log book data at roadside inspection so drivers  can get back on the road quickly. RoadLog’s printout delivers all the  information provided by a handwritten log, but does so faster, easier, and more  accurately.

  RoadLog can also record data for a variety of reports  that can help make commercial vehicle operations safer and more efficient,  including Vehicle Maintenance and Inspection (DVIR), International Fuel Tax  Agreement (IFTA), and International Registration Plan (IRP).

  Fleet Management software provides all the key data  needed to manage drivers and vehicles. With RoadLog, fleet managers can  download drivers’ data in seconds from the RoadLog Driver Key USB. An optional  wireless download feature will be available in 2013 to allow data collection  via cellular networks.

  Permission to access data from the RoadLog EOBR is  possible only with the Driver Key or Fleet Key USBs, so drivers and enforcement  officials access only data that they need to see. RoadLog data is fully  protected and tamper resistant, to ensure data integrity and data privacy.

  RoadLog offers plug n’ play installation so it can be  operational on any heavy-duty rig in a matter of minutes. It is FMCSA-compliant  and also meets Canadian rules. It’s also designed to be easily upgradeable to  future US and Canadian EOBR regulations.
