Everything below was developed in house by us. The tacho apps talk to the tachograph directly over Bluetooth; the planning apps belong to the VYS Scheduling platform. Under each app you can see where to get it.
Learning and practising
For the Code 95 course on the digital tachograph, and for anyone who wants to learn the buttons without a real truck.
VYS Tacho Simulator
A VDO DTCO 4.1 and a Stoneridge SE5000 that behave like the real device: inserting the card, manual entry, printouts, country codes, fines and the matching warnings. With assignments that follow along, a day planner, a knowledge base and a fines table per country. In twenty-six languages.
These apps talk over Bluetooth to the smart tachograph (Gen2 V2, DTCO 4.1 and SE5000 Smart 2).
VYS Tacho
Reads the driver card (the mandatory 28 days) and the vehicle unit (90 days) into a valid DDD file, without cables and without leaving the cab. The app talks to the smart tachograph directly over Bluetooth: Gen2 V2, VDO DTCO 4.1 and Stoneridge SE5000 Smart 2. You get the same file format an analysis bureau or an inspector expects, and it lands in the portal by itself. No FMS box or dongle is needed and nothing has to be fitted in the vehicle: an iPhone or Android device is enough. Also suitable for ADR vehicles.

Takes over the job of the physical tacho timer: on your phone you see what the tachograph is doing and when your break or rest is due. An aid for making use of the sixty-second rule (Regulation (EU) 1266/2009), and with that a replacement for the physical Tachotimer 3 devices. Big plus: through the remote function the app can put the tachograph on rest by itself as soon as you come to a standstill.
The remote function only works with a VDO DTCO 4.1a or 4.1b running software version 04.01.40 or higher. With a Stoneridge you set the tachograph to rest yourself.
Does the manual entry from your phone instead of with the buttons on the unit. You fill in the missing hours for the period your card was out, with the start and end country where the tachograph expects them. The app first shows what will be written, so you can check it before it is final. Just that one task, so you stop skipping it.
If the tachograph jumps to work by itself while standing still, this app puts it back to rest or availability. That is all it does, and that is the point.
Operate your VDO tachograph from your phone: set the activity to rest, available or work, register loading and unloading, eject the card, make printouts and enter the start of the shift. What you press goes straight to the unit.
Connects a USB card reader on the computer to the customer portal. Insert a driver card and the DDD file appears in the portal by itself, ready to view or analyse.
Reads your DDD file and tells you what is in it: is the signature genuine, is anything missing, which infringements are in it and what they cost. Plus the fine table per EU country with ERRU points, and which of the last ninety days are covered.
The tablet in the vehicle: the day schedule with all stops, scanning passengers and following the journey. Installed on the device, not through the store.
