What does legislation require?
Since May of 2006, all newly licensed HGVs of more than 3.5 t and vehicles
for the conveyance of more than 9 passengers including the driver must
be equipped with a digital tachograph, in accordance with Regulation (EC)
No. 561 / 2006.
To fulfil your legal obligations as a fleet operator, you must regularly download and archive the data from your
digital tachographs and driver cards.
What you must do to comply with the law:
• Driver card data must be down-
loaded and electronically archived
every 28 days* at the latest.
• Digital tachograph vehicle data
must be downloaded and archived
every 3 months* at the latest.
• All vehicle and driver data must
be stored for a period of 1 year*
and, if necessary, made available
to the authorities for inspection.
*Legislation may be country-specific and must be adhered to accordingly.
Depending on your company-specific requirements, VDO offers you various archiving and data
management solutions, all of which comply fully with the legal regulations. These solutions also offer you
various options for data evaluation and support with the optimisation of your operational procedures.

Why is TIS-Compact III the right
solution for me?
TIS-Compact III is an all-in-one downloading and archiving solution. It is
used as a basic program for visualising, downloading, archiving and printing
out vehicle and driver data.
Advantages of TIS-Compact III – the downloading and archiving solution
• With the portable TIS-Compact III,
you can directly download vehicle
and driver data from all digital tacho-
graphs. An additional external power
supply is not necessary.
• You can transfer data to a computer
(as if you were using a USB stick, for
example), where it can be visualised,
archived and printed out.
• You can easily export data at
any time to your own in-house
DP systems or to TIS-Web
®
for
further processing.
TIS-Compact III is a simple, efficient data archiving solution tailor-made for owner-drivers and fleet operators
(with up to 5 vehicles and 10 drivers) who do not require comprehensive evaluations.

How do I download my data?
• The signatures of the downloaded
files are automatically checked and
you are informed about any defec-
tive files which are detected.
• The system warns you about up -
coming downloads at the right time.
Using a special Downloadkey which has the TIS-Compact III software pre-
installed, you can download data from digital tachographs and inserted driver
cards quickly and securely. A company card must be inserted in the device
for downloading to take place.
• Concise graphics make the archiv-
ing of driver card and mass memory
data simple and convenient.
TIS-Compact III is also available as a TIS-Compact III Portable Set, in combination with a Mobile Card Reader.
This enables drivers to download the data from their driver cards without the need for a company card.
i
You know at a glance when the next download is due
Clearly laid out displays
show you when the next
download is due for each
individual vehicle and for
each driver card.
TIS-Compact III offers you a whole range of useful functions for secure and efficient
archiving.

What additional information
can the archived data give me?
With the TIS-Compact III software, your data can be visualized, archived and printed
out at the computer. This gives you e. g. an overview of driving time, working time and
rest periods anytime you want. You can also display a graph of driving time speed
values from the previous 24 hours (driving time only).
Ascertain at an early stage whether or not legal regulations are being adhered to
You can see at a glance
whether or not down-
loaded data has any
gaps.
You can also display a
list of activities (working
time, driving time and
rest periods) for each
and every driver and
vehicle.
Optimise your drivers’ driving behaviour
A speed profile of the previ-
ous 24 hours (driving time
only) gives you a real insight
into the driving style of each
individual driver.
