VDO solution for collision investigators

23 Jul 2008

VDO DTCOscope announced to give collision investigators access to and the ability to date from any make of digital tachograph.

VDO DTCOscope consists of a TIS-Compact download device and DTCOscope software to produce a detailed analysis of 1Hz and 4Hz speed data, acceleration, time and distance travelled. A configuration to download and view mode activities, events and faults, and speed data for the previous 24 hours is also possible.

According to VDO tachograph product manager Peter Needham, the solution can provide vital clues to the cause of the collision.

By downloading the data from the VDO DTCO 1381 Digital Tachograph using a VDO download device, 4 Hz speed data up to one minute before and after the collision can be viewed. Furthermore, the user can simultaneously view the data of several vehicles involved in the same collision.
