Definitions

  • the invention generally relates to tachographs.
  • the invention relates to a customizable digital tachograph and an associated method thereof.
  • a digital tachograph is a recording and control device for road transport.
  • the digital tachograph is generally composed of a Vehicle Unit (VU) containing a printer, two slots for smart cards and a display.
  • VU Vehicle Unit
  • the VU is connected to a gearbox of a vehicle it is installed in, and the number of revolutions per minute is measured by a secure motion sensor and sent to the VU encrypted.
  • the VU is arranged to continuously record and store data about vehicle related activities and violations of a driver of the vehicle in a VU memory and on the driver's personal smart card.
  • vehicle related data stored are driver activities, durations, speeding, warnings of suspected tampering and other technical data.
  • the driver's current activity is recorded at regular intervals, and the activity of driving is automatically recorded. When the vehicle is stationary, it is possible for the driver to select among non-driving activities.
  • Drivers are prompted, at smart card insertion into the VU, to do manual inputs of activities that happened between the last smart card withdrawal and current insertion, with start and end time for each activity and daily working period. If no manual input of activities is entered this period is registered as unknown.
  • Vehicle related data is upon request unloaded from the tachograph to an unload equipment, or unloading device, which unload equipment selects which days of vehicle related data are to be unloaded.
  • the tachograph starts to digitally sign the respective days. Each respective day is today by law required to be a digitally signed binary file.
  • the vehicle related data signed by the tachograph is thereafter unloaded to the unload equipment.
  • the purpose of the digitally signed vehicle related data is for law enforcement or other controlling authority to check if the vehicle related data is manipulated or not.
  • a general object of the invention is to provide a tachograph that simplifies user interaction.
  • a tachograph comprising: at least one user identification device adapted to read user identification data from user identification units; a memory adapted to store a plurality of user profiles, each relating to a specific user; and processing means operatively connected to the memory, the processing means being adapted to verify the user identification data that matches a user profile, wherein access to the user profile is permitted upon verification of the matching user identification data, and wherein the processing means is arranged to adapt functions of the tachograph based on the accessed user profile.
  • An effect that may be achievable by providing access to a previously stored user profile is that the interaction between a user and the tachograph may be simplified.
  • the accessed profile may contain previously stored functions such as preferred user settings for that user, less user interaction may be needed with the tachograph once the functions have been set.
  • the processing means may be adapted to permit at least one user to access more than one user profile. By allowing some users access to several user profiles, these users may be able to modify the several user profiles to which they are provided access. Thereby, general user functions associated with several user profiles may easily be modified by the user having access to the several user profiles.
  • the tachograph may further comprise control signal means to generate a control signal according to at least one setting of at least one user profile.
  • the control signal may comprise information relating to a limitation of movement of a vehicle associated with the tachograph to a specific geographic region. Thereby, the positioning of the vehicle may be monitored and/or controlled.
  • the tachograph may comprise a user interface adapted to indicate when a geographic location of the tachograph exceeds a boundary of the specific geographic region.
  • One embodiment may further comprise data receiving means adapted to receive Global Positioning System data to thereby receive information relating to the positioning of the tachograph.
  • the processing means may be adapted to encrypt data written to the memory.
  • One embodiment may further comprise means to wirelessly communicate with a communication device external to the tachograph, wherein the means to wirelessly communicate with the communication device is adapted to transmit current user profile data to the communication device.
  • the communication device external to the tachograph may for instance be located at a gate of a warehouse. By transmitting data to the communication device when the tachograph is close to the communication device, a freight forwarder company may achieve a higher security at for instance their warehouses by receiving information regarding which of their vehicles and drivers enter the warehouse area.
  • the means to wirelessly communicate with the communication device may be adapted to receive access data from the communication device in response to having transmitted current user profile data.
  • Current user profile data is herein defined as user profile data pertaining to a currently accessed user profile.
  • the access data may for instance pertain to the time when the tachograph transmitted the user profile data, as well as other data such as the location of cargo to be loaded to the vehicle associated with the tachograph or that of an unloading location.
  • the tachograph may further comprise a printer adapted to print information contained in the access data, which information relates to cargo location in a delimited geographic region.
  • a method for user customization of a tachograph comprising: receiving user identification data from a user identification device, the user identification data being associated with a user of the tachograph; verifying user identification data that matches a user profile; providing access to the matched user profile; and adapting functions of the tachograph in accordance with the matched user profile.
  • a digital tachograph 1 in the following referred to as "tachograph”, for recording of vehicle related data will now be described with reference to Figs 1-3 .
  • the tachograph 1 comprises processing means 3, a user interface 5, a printer 7, a user identification device 8, a first connection port 9, and a second connection port 11.
  • the user identification device 8 is for use with user identification units 17 such as smart cards, or other suitable portable devices that may carry user identification information, such as mobile phones and PDAs.
  • the user identification unit 8 will be constituted of card readers, such as smart card readers, and the user identification units 17 will be exemplified by user identification cards.
  • the card readers form part of an interface for transferring vehicle related data: a first card reader 13 for a current driver and a second card reader 15 for a possible secondary driver, a so called co-driver.
  • the card readers 13 and 15 are configured to receive a user identification card 17, such as a smart card, identifying a driver and co-driver, respectively, which user identification card 17 is used to verify the identity of the driver currently responsible for generating vehicle related data on the tachograph 1.
  • the processing means 3 has a secure processing unit e.g. for reliable handling of driver identification, storing of authenticity certificates, storing of driving data (revolutions per minute) received from a gear box of a vehicle the tachograph 1 is installed into, via a secure motion sensor, and for digital signing of vehicle related data, i.e. functioning as a signing processor for signing vehicle related data.
  • vehicle related data includes inter alia driving data and driver activities.
  • the tachograph 1 also comprises a vehicle related data memory 19 for storing vehicle related data, which memory 19 the secure processing unit utilizes for secure storing of data.
  • the processing means 3 preferably also comprises a second processing unit relieving the secure processing unit of non-secure processing, such as user interface communication, printing, etc.
  • the second processing unit preferably also communicates directly with the secure motion sensor, and forwards driving data from the secure motion sensor to the secure processing unit, in this way removing the need for a separate connector on the secure processing unit for connection to the secure motion sensor.
  • the user interface 5 comprises input means for e.g. manual entry of data and a small display for display of e.g. driver activity.
  • the printer 7 is e.g. used for printouts of registered driver activity, verification of manually input driver activity, or other vehicle related data.
  • the first connection port 9 also a part of the interface for transferring vehicle related data to the tachograph 1, is configured for connection to a CAN-bus of the vehicle the tachograph is installed in, through which CAN-bus driving data is procured from the secure motion sensor.
  • the second connection port 11 is configured for connection to i.a. unloading equipment for unloading of vehicle related data, i.e functioning as an interface for unloading vehicle related data from the tachograph 1.
  • An unloading equipment is usually a portable device, preferably a so called unloading device, which is used for unloading of signed vehicle related data, typically for unloading of a plurality of days at each unloading occasion.
  • the days that are to be unloaded from the digital tachograph are selected by the unloading device, and they are not known beforehand of the tachograph 1.
  • Unloading of data is traditionally performed through the second connection port 11, being a serial front port of the tachograph 1. It is alternatively also possible to unload signed vehicle related data through the first connection port 9, i.e. through the CAN-bus, or yet alternatively through e.g. a wireless connection such as a Bluetooth or IR connection.
  • a plurality of encrypted user profiles can be stored in the memory 19.
  • a second memory 21 can be provided for storing encrypted user profiles.
  • the second memory 21 may then be in communication with the memory 19 via processing means 3. Thereby the user profiles may be associated with corresponding vehicle related data.
  • the tachograph 1 When a user inserts a user identification card 17 into the first card reader 13 or the second card reader 15, the tachograph 1 reads the user identification data stored on the user identification card 17.
  • the user identification data serves to identify a user with which the user identification card 17 is associated.
  • the user identification data is compared to the user profiles in the memory. If no matching user profile is found, a new user profile can be created based on the data of that particular user identification card. However, if there is a match, an encrypted memory area of the memory 19, associated with the identified user identification card is read by the tachograph 1.
  • the encrypted memory area associated with the user identification card can hold various customisable data and parameters for the driver as will be further elaborated herebelow.
  • the tachograph 1 hence allows a plurality of users to store and access personal encrypted data in a secure and simple way and allows users to create customised user profiles.
  • a user is herein defined as any entity that uses the tachograph 1. Such an entity may for instance be a user identification card 17 or the vehicle itself.
  • tachograph 1 Before tachograph 1 can start to record data and associate it to a user, the user will have to identify himself, whether it concerns the user being a driver card, a company card or the vehicle.
  • the first card reader 13 receives a user identification card 17, such as for instance a driver card or a company card.
  • the first card reader 13 reads data stored on the user identification card 17 inserted into the first card reader 13.
  • processing means 3 receives user identification data read from the user identification card 17 by the card reader 13.
  • a step S4 the processing means 3 compares the user identification data with a plurality of user profiles in the memory 17.
  • Each user profile comprises data that identifies that user profile to which data the user identification data read from the user identification card 17 can be compared.
  • the tachograph 1 via the processing means 3 verifies the user identification data in a step S5. Thereafter, the processing means provides access to that user profile in a step S6.
  • the step S5 may also be construed in a broader sense, i.e. to contain the step of comparing S4 and matching the user identification data with the stored user profiles. To this end, the step of comparing S4 may be seen as a substep of the step of verifying S5.
  • a new profile may be created in a step S7.
  • the new profile is then associated with the user identification data.
  • the newly created profile will be accessible to that user upon identification with the correct user identification card.
  • the step S4 of comparing continues after a first match has been found.
  • the comparing typically only continues for some users that have a higher access level to the encrypted memory area that contains the user profiles.
  • a user will then be able to access several user profiles.
  • Such a user may be a super user, e.g. a company card, of the tachograph, which user may want to be able to modify settings of several user profiles.
  • a step S8 the processing means 3 adapts functions of the tachograph 1 in accordance with the matched user profile.
  • the super user or the like may get access to certain portions of other users' profiles, however not the complete profiles. Thereby, a user may store private data only accessible to that user, whereas a super user may be able to access non-private data of the user profile.
  • a first class of functions that can be loaded to the processing means 3 upon successful identification may broadly be defined as personal settings relating to the appearance of the tachograph 1.
  • the first class of functions may involve personal settings such as for instance favourite colour of the display of the user interface, sound, size of display text, and so on.
  • further advanced user profile related functions may be implemented.
  • Such functions constitute a second class of functions and may broadly be defined as preferred vehicle specific settings for the user and general information regarding the tachograph, and can for instance relate to seat settings, mirror settings, light settings, user specified speed limitation, personal messages for the user, reminders for the user, manuals and settings guidance.
  • a third class of functions may relate to information regarding the vehicle, such as secret information concerning the cargo, and driving routes.
  • a fourth class of functions may involve control functions of the vehicle, such as locking of doors, access to trailer, brakes and access to certain areas of the vehicle, such as fluid tanks. Further, some functions may also involve speed limitation for the specific user profile, or geographic limitation of the vehicle to be allowed to move within a specified geographic area. Further, other functions are also possible within the scope of the invention.
  • a plurality of functions may be enabled upon matching of user identification data and a user profile.
  • a super user of the tachograph 1 has previously entered data for one user profile in the tachograph 1 that limits the maximal allowed speed to 80 km/h for that driver.
  • the speed limit command may for instance be entered to the tachograph 1 via the user interface 5 by means of keys provided on a front side of the tachograph 1.
  • the tachograph 1 When a driver subject to this limitation has inserted his user identification card 17 and his user identification data has been verified by the processing means 3, the tachograph 1 will indicate to the driver when the vehicle speed exceeds 80 km/h.
  • An indication may be provided by means of control signal means 23, which may be located in the processing unit 3 as shown in Fig. 1 , which control signal means 23 can generate a control signal that can be transmitted to e.g. the user interface 5.
  • the user interface will then be able to warn the driver regarding the speed exceeding the set limit by for instance flashing light on the user interface display.
  • the tachograph 1 may provide an alarm sound to indicate to the driver that the speed limit has been exceeded.
  • Such indication will in the following be referred to as passive control.
  • control signal provided by the control signal means 23 will be able to control the vehicle.
  • Control of the vehicle may be achieved by e.g. by the tachograph 1 sending the control signal via for instance the first connection port 13 to the vehicle and further relaying control signals to the brakes, thereby controlling a brake operation of the vehicle.
  • user profile settings may actively control the state of a vehicle.
  • FIG. 3 an example of an application of the tachograph 1 is provided to illustrate the interaction between a vehicle 25 and the tachograph 1 when the vehicle 25 acts as a user of the tachograph 1.
