An electronic on-board recorder (EOBR) is an electronic device attached to a commercial motor vehicle, which is used to record the amount of time a vehicle is being driven. This is similar to the tachograph, and is the American equivalent of the digital tachograph used in Europe. The driving hours of commercial drivers (truck and bus drivers) are regulated by a set of rules known as the hours of service (HOS). The HOS are rules intended to prevent driver fatigue, by limiting the amount of time drivers spend operating commercial vehicles. Trucks in the European Union are required to have digital tachographs installed, and are securely monitored by government agencies. The U.S. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is considering making EOBRs mandatory for all motor carriers. As of February 2008, it is only voluntary. Drivers and carriers are still allowed to use paper-based log books, which are subject to forgery. [edit] External links
