1692 TomTom Telematics and 260 Continental have announced a collaboration to create a more efficient data archiving solution for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), an alliance which combines fleet management and transportation compliance solutions, enabling users to remotely transfer data from the truck to the back office without having to return the vehicles to base.

The new integration links TomTom WEBFLEET with TIS-Web, part of Continental’s VDO brand. Fleet managers using the new solution will have greater control over their digital tachograph data. Automated downloading of tachograph data from fleet vehicles, as well as automated uploading of tachograph data to TIS-Web, can help ease the burden of compliance with applicable legislation. As TIS-Web also analyses and assesses the tachograph data, it helps increase fleet efficiency by enabling fleet managers to reduce unwanted interruptions to vehicle schedules.

TIS-Web customers who have already installed TomTom WEBFLEET will also benefit as they can now merge the two solutions into a single customer-friendly solution.

The new app, WEBFLEET TachoShare TIS-Web Connect, will be available to customers from October 2016, initially in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, with other regions in Europe to follow.

    Need for simpler urban tolling solutions
    A common assumption, even amongst informed observers, is that there’s but a handful of urban charging schemes in operation around the world and scant prospect of that changing any time soon. Larger city-sized schemes such as Singapore, London and Stockholm come readily to mind but if we take a wider view and also consider urban access control and Low Emission Zones (LEZs) then the picture changes rather radically. There is a notable concentration of such schemes in Europe but worldwide the number is comfort

    Growth of telematics-based pay as you drive car insurance systems
    Car insurance made cheaper by telematics has returned to news headlines in the UK this year.

Jon Masters reports Will 2012 go down as the year that telematics-based car insurance took off? In the UK at least, a groundswell of new policies, with premiums priced on the basis of tracked and analysed driving style, suggests a turning point has been reached. Some would argue t
