Hi Guys,
I’ve recently taken a deep interest in the data Microlise records, or attributes, to my name, and in doing so have discovered clear and certain proof of false data.
Examples include ‘the system’ failing to record I have left the vehicle and for someone else’s activities to be recorded in my name.
I would like to know if any of you have noticed similar issues, and what, if anything, you did about it.
Thanks.
Once it registered speeding on the A38 and a low score at a time after I had gone home and the truck was being taken to DAF by a fitter.
Only time I’ve ever seen something against my name when I wasn’t driving.
Not that I really care much tbh.
Any system will have bugs and be fallible at times.
i thought the microlise recorded 24/7 and it was down to the office bod to work out who was in the driving seat.
Are you sure you logged out?
Nope it goes on your card being inserted into the tachograph as far as I can tell and it record the vehicle your in and your name taken most likely from the tachograph.
That sounds exactly like what happened with me, I guess with no card being inserted it hadn’t effectively logged me off so to speak even after my card had been withdrawn as no valid card was entered when the vehicle was then subsequently driven.
Yes, quite sure. Microlise ‘knows’ who is driving by virtue of you ‘agreeing’ to share ITS data when you insert your digicard. But if it knows who is driving by insertion of digicard it should also know you are no longer driving when you have ejected your digicard.
Aside from that, I followed the log off procedure for the in cab tablet, recording end of shift vehicle checks and so on, it then going on to perform the ‘scheduled reboot’. Not that this should matter, since Microlise tracks you whether there is an in cab tablet or not.
We’ve got a few motors where I work that don’t have an in cab tablet but nevertheless are wired for Microlise, and these motors still track and record driver performance data.
Ah, I didn’t know that. As the cyber incident showed the other day, it is far from perfect.
So share what happened and why it happened. Having taken your card out, what did it record you did that was false?
I’ve long suspected all is not right with Microlise, so have kept a close eye on it in more recent times.
Several times now, and admittedly it isn’t that frequent, I’ve dropped the motor off at the onsite garage at the end of my shift, digicard out, logged off in cab tablet, tablet performed ‘scheduled reboot’, gone home. Start next shift, log on, look at Microlise, and discover two or three hours after I’ve finished it has tracked me, identifying me by way of my digicard number, as having left the engine idling for 14.9 minutes.
Another example from this summer, at end of my shift, digicard out, logged off as per usual, go home, come back for next shift, log on, and see I’ve been tracked as not using cruise control that morning, and having about ten examples of harsh acceleration. All at times when I was on daily rest, each event tagged as being me by way of my digicard number, pinned to exact locations on google maps down to the exact second.
I see these as not so much false records but rather as falsely attributed records. The events did happen, but not with me.
