DDD files


DDD files are files that tachographs use to store information about driver compliance and rest. These files also help to identify irregularities in tachographs.

The storage time of DDD files and the frequency of their retrieval are determined by the rules of tachographs. For example, in Russia and European countries DDD-files are unloaded once in 28 days from the driver’s card, once in 90 days from the tachograph and stored for 1 year.

In some countries, it is allowed to store DDD-files without specifying the data of the vehicle owner.
