2. Overview
The AVLTRACK ELD-A100 is an application that is compliant with the FMCSA ELD MANDATE.
The system uses is using GPS technology connected to the truck’s ECM to register the driving
hours of service automatically.
ELD-100 can accommodate 2 drivers per truck.
Provides separate accounts for drivers and administrative (non-driver) ELD users.
Has “integral synchronization” with the engine control module to automatically record engine
power status, vehicle motion status, and other data.
Automatically records all driving time at intervals of 60 minutes. Records date, time, location,
engine hours, vehicle miles, and driver identification.
Records location with an accuracy of a one-mile radius during on-duty driving periods. Reduces
location accuracy to a 10-mile radius when the vehicle is used for authorized personal use.
ELD time is synchronized with UTC (coordinated universal time).
Retains data for the current 24-hour period and the previous 7 consecutive days.
Prevents tampering; does not allow anyone to alter or erase information originally collected for
driver ELD records.
Requires driver to review unidentified driver records – and either acknowledge assignment of
this driving time or indicate that the records do not belong to the driver. Allows a driver to obtain
a copy of his/her ELD records on demand – either through a printout or electronic file. Supports
the Telematic type transfert: using wireless web services .
Displays all required standardized data to authorized safety officials on demand – through a
screen display or printout that includes three elements: a daily header, graph grid showing
driving duty status changes, and detailed daily log data. The graph grid, if printed, must be at
least 6 inches by 1.5 inches.
Requires driver certification and annotation (written explanation) for any edits to records that are
made by the driver or any other ELD user. Requires certification of driver records at the end of
each 24-hour period.
The ELD provider furnishes the user manual, instructions for handling malfunctions and recordkeeping during malfunctions, and instructions for transferring ELD hours of service records to
safety officials. Volume control or mute option is included for any audio feature. Failure to
perform the instructions in this user guide could result in inaccurate HOS driver activity capture
and recording on the ELD and cause compliance implications.
The ELD Rule provides several provisions to help prevent harassment.
The application is Android based and can be installed on the Garmin Fleet 670/790.
