ajonvalvontatietojen

Ajonvalvontatietojen refers to data related to driving monitoring in Finland. This encompasses information collected and stored regarding the operation of vehicles, particularly commercial vehicles like trucks and buses, as well as certain company cars. The primary purpose of collecting ajonvalvontatietojen is to ensure compliance with regulations concerning driving times, rest periods, and speed limits.

The data is typically gathered using a digital tachograph, also known as a ajoneuvotallennin or kuljettajakortti. This device records various parameters of the vehicle's operation, including speed, distance traveled, driving periods, work periods, availability, and rest periods. Drivers are issued a digital tachograph card that stores their individual driving data.

This information is crucial for regulatory bodies, such as the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency (Traficom), to conduct checks and enforce compliance with EU and national driving and rest time regulations. It helps prevent driver fatigue, promotes road safety, and ensures fair competition within the transport industry by preventing drivers from exceeding legal working hours.

Ajonvalvontatietojen are stored for a specified period, usually 12 months, and must be made available to authorities upon request. Employers are responsible for managing and analyzing this data to ensure their drivers adhere to the relevant rules. Non-compliance can result in penalties and sanctions for both drivers and transport companies.
