The ISE Electronic Driver Logs application consists of a modular
end-to-end enterprise software architecture. It is primarily
made up of three components:
 |
Driver Interface—resides in the vehicle on a fixed or removable display and typically connects to the vehicle data bus |
 |
 |
Communications
Channel—exchanges information between the vehicle and web application
and is capable of interfacing with most existing wireless communication
mediums |
 |
Web
Interface—displays driver logs information to the dispatcher including
violations, driver time, mileage summaries and driver availability |
| |

The
driver interacts with either a handheld device or a fixed display to
record status information: On Duty, Off Duty and Sleeper Berth. The
status information along with vehicle data is used to generate an
electronic driver log. In addition, the driver interface has a
proprietary HOS library used to calculate the remaining driver
availability and displays that information on a user friendly status
screen. To support roadside inspection, the application has incorporated a
comprehensive onboard driver log view. The driver log can be easily
navigated to provide information regarding the current day’s logs and
also logs from the previous seven days.
