A driver ID key reader is fitted neatly on the vehicle’s dash without exposed wires. Each driver is assigned a unique ID key which they must use to ‘sign-in’ to each vehicle before they can begin their journey, forcing use and ensuring you have complete and robust data from your workforce.

The key allows the driver ID to be included along with all the other vehicle information that is transmitted as part of the tracking solution. So through your secure web-portal you can see a more detailed picture of your workforces’ daily activity.

They key reader can be set to track work or private mode so the driver can identify working time and you can isolate business time and mileage from private time and mileage. When operating in private mode your secure web-portal will show whether the driver and vehicle is stationery or moving along with the journey start time, duration and stop time. However the location and speed will not be visible, allowing you to give your drivers privacy when out of working hours.

Some vehicles require certain licenses and some equipment may require special certification to use. Driving license and skill information can also be loaded into the database so it can be coupled with the driver ID data. This allows you to manage your duty of care responsibilities and your resources based on which drivers are qualified to drive which vehicles. Alerts can be put in place enabling instant action in the event that an unidentified or unqualified driver appears to be operating a vehicle.

Driver ID integrates fully with tachographs and engine management interfaces so you can gather the most detailed picture of each drivers’ activity and feed that directly into your other systems to reduce the administrative burden.
