Introduction
Introduction
The VDO RoadLog Electronic On Board Recorder (EOBR) is the simple,
affordable, all-in-one solution for automated daily log book and compliance
reporting. It provides cost-effective HOS monitoring that you can have up and
running in minutes.
RoadLog was designed to keep Drivers in compliance with all FMSCA regulations
by recording data for:
• Hours-of-Service (HOS)
• Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIR)
• International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA)
(This feature will be implemented in an upcoming release)
• International Registration Plan (IRP)
(This feature will be implemented in an upcoming release)
RoadLog Fleet Software is designed to enable Fleet Managers and Owner /
Operators to collect and archive driver data to maintain compliance with FMSCA
regulations and to help manage trucking operations more efficiently.
The RoadLog EOBR is used in conjunction with:
RoadLog Fleet Management Software
The Fleet Management Software allows the Fleet Manager or Owner / Operator to
collect and archive Driver data, make notes in the Driver data and prepare reports
on Driver history.
RoadLog Fleet Key
The RoadLog Fleet Key USB flash drive is used to log in to the RoadLog Fleet
Software. The Fleet Key can also be used to download and upload data to and
from RoadLog. Each company must have at least one Fleet Key and the RoadLog
Fleet Management Software.
RoadLog Driver Key
The RoadLog Driver Key USB flash drive is used by the Driver to log in and out of
RoadLog and to transfer data.
Getting Started
To set up your VDO RoadLog EOBR, you’ll follow these steps:
1. Install the RoadLog Fleet Software.
2. Activate the RoadLog Fleet Key.
3. Set up your Company and Drivers in the RoadLog Fleet Software.
4. Install RoadLog in your Vehicle.
5. Download and upload Driver data.

Managing your Fleet with the VDO RoadLog™ System
1. Managing your Fleet with the
VDO RoadLog™ System
The VDO RoadLog Electronic On Board Recorder (EOBR)
was designed to allow Drivers, Fleets and Owner Operators
to record and report Hours of Service (HOS), Driver Vehicle
Inspection Reports (DVIR), Fuel Tax Reporting and other
data quickly and easily, and without monthly fees.
VDO RoadLog Fleet Management Software lets you collect
and manage that data to ensure that your fleet complies
with regulations. By having accurate data on hand, Fleet
Managers and Owner Operators can see if they are
operating within regulations, and where changes need to be
made to improve efficiency and increase profits.
RoadLog eliminates the chance of manual logbook entry
errors that can result in big fines. RoadLog printouts provide
all the information that a manual log provides and more, but
RoadLog is faster, easier and more accurate, for both the
Driver and the Compliance Officer.
The VDO RoadLog Fleet Management Software generates
accurate, up-to-date reports far quicker than paper-based
methods, saving time and money. RoadLog Fleet
Management Software can manage an unlimited number
of Drivers and trucks. And, since the RoadLog Fleet
Management Software is a one-time purchase, it
represents an excellent value compared to subscription-
based solutions.
RoadLog records a range of data that helps make trucking
operations safer and more efficient:
• Hours-of-Service (HOS) according to US rules
• Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIR) according to
US rules
• International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA)
• International Registration Plan (IRP)
RoadLog’s software is flexible and up-dateable to meet
anticipated DOT compliance requirements. Free upcoming
software updates will include:
• Hours-of-Service (HOS) according to Canadian rules
• Vehicle Inspection and Repair Maintenance (DVIR)
according to Canadian rules
• International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA)
• International Registration Plan (IRP)
• Compliance with Alaska and oilfield filed rules
Entry errors in traditional paper logbooks interfere with your
asset tracking and operations planning. They can also lead
to big fines! The RoadLog system is faster, easier and more
accurate, for both the Driver and the fleet manager or
compliance officer.
Permission to access data from the RoadLog EOBR and the
Fleet Management Software is possible only with the Driver
Key or Fleet Key USBs, so that data is fully protected and
tamper resistant, to ensure data integrity and data privacy.
VDO RoadLog Fleet Management Software is used in
conjunction with:
• VDO RoadLog Electronic On Board Recorder (EOBR) –
the in-vehicle device that records vehicle and Driver
activities.
• VDO RoadLog Driver Key – a proprietary USB drive that
allows Drivers to log in to RoadLog and that is used to
transfer data between RoadLog and the PC that is
running the Fleet Management Software. The Driver
Key can also transfer Driver data between vehicles, if
the Driver uses different vehicles through out the
workday/workweek. The Driver Key can also enable
use of a limited feature set of the Fleet Management
Software.
• VDO RoadLog Fleet Key – a proprietary USB drive that
is required to log in to the Fleet Management Software,
assuring the integrity and authenticity of your RoadLog
data files.
• The Fleet Key and Driver Keys are also used to transfer
data between the PC that is running the Fleet
Management Software and the RoadLog EOBR.

Getting Started
Activating the RoadLog Fleet
Management Software
In order to use the RoadLog Fleet Management
Software, you will need to install the Software and
activate the VDO RoadLog Fleet Key. Whenever you use
the Fleet Management Software, an activated VDO Fleet
Key or VDO Driver Key must be inserted in the PC.
If the Fleet Key is not already activated, it can be
activated by filling the data in the Company window that
appears after installation of the RoadLog Fleet Software
application.
The application connects to the VDO Internet portal. The
company will be registered, and the PC will receive a
download of the CID file for the activation of the Fleet key.
Note: The activation described here requires an Internet
connection. If you do not have an Internet connection, see
Activating Your Fleet Key through the RoadLog Portal for how to
activate the Fleet Key using Internet access from another PC.
Software Installation
1. Insert the Fleet Key into a USB port on your PC.
2. Insert the Fleet Management Software CD into the PC. When the
CD appears, double click the setup.exe file. The Fleet Management
Software installation will start.
3. Follow the InstallShield Wizard prompts, and make all the required
user choices.
While running the InstallShield Wizard, there is an option to choose
a Client/Server installation.
> If you select “Complete installation,” all parts of the application
(database, client application, etc.) will be installed on one
computer. This option is selected by default.
> If you select “Client installation,” only the client portions
(application, JRE, etc.) will be installed.
> If the user selects “Server installation,” only the server parts will
be installed.
> If “Client installation” is selected, you will be prompted for a
database server name / address. You will also have to enter the
US DOT Number for the company.
> If there is a PostgreSQL database already installed, you will have
to enter the admin password.
![](/img.php?id=2448711&img=bga.png)
10
Getting Started
Note: The installer will check to see if PostgreSQL database is
installed on the machine. If it is not installed, the setup will
automatically install it. You may see a message(s) indicating that
there are software updates available. Click Yes to allow installation
of the updates.
When you see the Fleet Key Activation screen, enter your company
information in the fields shown. Be careful to enter the information
accurately – once saved, the US DOT number cannot be changed.
We recommend using an email address that all users will have
access to, for example: manager@your_company.com.
You’ll need to know your company data, including your US DOT
Number. The serial number of the Fleet Key will be read from the
Key and entered into the field automatically.
When the information entry is completed, click Save. The software
will automatically activate your Fleet Key (this may take several
minutes - again, Internet access is required). When the activation is
complete, your Fleet Key will be activated. The Fleet Manager
Software will start up automatically, and a “RoadLog Fleet
Management Software” shortcut icon will appear on your desktop.
To start the RoadLog Fleet Management Software, double click on
this shortcut icon.
Activating your Key will create a Company account for you on the
RoadLog User Portal (www.vdoroadlog.com/user). You will be able
to use this account to purchase additional RoadLog Fleet Keys and
Vehicle licenses when you need them.
4. At first start up, no Driver data will be present. You’ll
need to complete your Company and Driver profiles,
create Trailers and Tractors and export the data to
the Fleet Key and Driver Key(s). Then, you’ll be ready
to log your Company in on your RoadLog(s) with the
Fleet Key and then have your Driver(s) begin using
the system. When the Driver(s) return from driving
with data from RoadLog, you will be able to
download the data from the Driver Key(s), view
Driver activities and manage Driver records.
Note: You will be notified by e-mail when software
updates are available. If you do not have Internet
access from the PC where you’ll use the Fleet
Management Software, you must make
arrangements to get the software updates. Software
updates may be necessary to maintain compliance
with changes to the FMCSA regulations. Updates
will be available on the VDO RoadLog web portal:
www.vdoroadlog.com/user
When the Fleet Management Software starts up and the Fleet Key is
authenticated, you’ll see the Quick Start Screen. The Quick Start Screen
provides shortcuts to create Drivers, Tractors, Trailers and Supporting
Documents, as well as import and export data.

Important note: It is recommended to read the instructions prior
to using this software. However, some users may choose to create
these entries before reading this manual completely. If you are
going to immediately create entries, please read “Backing Up Your
RoadLog Data” and follow the guidance there to ensure that the
results of your work are secure.
Activating your Fleet Key
through the RoadLog Portal
If your computer is not able to connect to the Internet and the RoadLog
Portal, the Fleet Management Software will not be able to download the
.CID file needed to activate your Fleet Key.
If this is the case, you must use a computer that can connect to the
RoadLog Portal and use the Portal to manually register your company
and activate your Fleet Key. You will also need an email account that you
can access from the Internet-connected computer.
To perform a manual registration and .CID file download:
• Insert the Fleet Key into a USB port on the Internet-connected PC.
• Using the PC’s Internet browser, go to the RoadLog User Portal at
www.vdoroadlog.com/user and click on “Register.”
• Enter your company information in the fields shown. You’ll need to
know your company data, including your US Department of
Transportation (DOT) number and the serial number of the Fleet Key.
This serial number is available on the package of the Fleet Key and
in the file KEY_DATA.txt on the root directory of the Fleet Key.
Once you enter your registration information, an email with a
download link will be sent to the email address that you registered
with. Click on the link to begin the download. Save the download
as a file in your Documents folder. The downloaded file, with the
extension .CID, is your Company ID registration file.
• Copy this file to your Fleet Key’s “Company” folder. You can now
use your Fleet Key to launch the Fleet Management Software as
described above in Software Installation.
![](/img.php?id=2448711&img=bgc.png)
12
Getting Started
Note: The .CID file is unique to your Fleet Key. It will not work with other Fleet
Keys or with generic USB flash drives. The activated Fleet Key must be
plugged into a USB port on the computer for the Fleet Management Software
to run.
Adding additional Fleet Keys
You may wish to have more than one Fleet Key for your company. Additional Fleet
Keys can be purchased from VDO RoadLog retailers or by contacting RoadLog

activated using the same US DOT number and company address as the
original Fleet Key, or the new Fleet Key cannot be used with your original
company file.

Creating and working with Driver Keys
5. Creating and working
with Driver Keys
Creating Drivers
To use RoadLog, each Driver must have a profile in the Fleet
Management Software and must have a personal Driver Key activated
with that profile.
The RoadLog Driver Key is a proprietary USB drive that allows Drivers to
log in to the RoadLog EOBR and download and transfer their records to
the Fleet Management Software or transfer their data between multiple
vehicles equipped with RoadLog EOBRs.
The Driver Key can also be used to transfer software updates to the
RoadLog EOBR.
Creating a Driver Profile
• To create a Driver profile, click on the Drivers/Vehicles
button in the main navigation.
• Click on Create Driver from the Action Palette.
• Enter the data for the Driver – fields outlined in orange are
mandatory and must be completed.
• The Driver Key serial number (S/N) can be found on the
Driver Key package, or it can be read from the key_data.txt
file on the Driver Key. Enter the serial number exactly as it
appears, including all zeros.
• If you wish to enter the optional Latitude and Longitude
information for the “Work Reporting Location” can be found
using free websites such as http://itouchmap.com
• The Last 15 days RODS file name is set automatically for the file that
contains the most recent RODS data for the selected Driver.
• When data has been entered, click Save. The Driver’s profile is now
part of the Fleet Management Software data.
After the Driver’s profile has been created in the Fleet Management
Software, the profile must be transferred to a Driver Key to activate the
Key.
Activating a Driver Key
• Insert the Driver Key you want to activate into an open USB port.
• Click the Drivers/Vehicles button in the main naviagtion.
• From the Action Palette click Export to RoadLog.
• A popup for selecting the Key appears. Select the drive icon for the
Driver Key you wish to activate.
![](/img.php?id=2448711&img=bg16.png)
22
Creating and working with Driver Keys
• Click the Driver icon in the Action palette, and select
the Driver you wish to assign to the Key from the drop
down box that appears.
Note: Only Drivers for whom a serial number is not
already assigned will appear on the drop-down list of
Drivers.
Once the Driver’s profile data and relevant company
information has been downloaded to the Driver Key, that
Driver can now automatically log in to the RoadLog EOBR
by inserting the Key. When the Driver changes vehicles
within a working day or within a working week, the data is
transferred from one vehicle to another and it is recognized
by each RoadLog EOBR installed in those vehicles at log in
and log out. When the Driver’s workday is complete,
updated records can be downloaded to the Driver Key for
transfer to the Fleet Management Software.
Note: The Fleet Key can also double as a Driver Key
for one Driver. To use the Fleet Key as a Driver Key,
insert the Fleet Key and follow the steps listed above
for activating a Driver Key.
Note: If there are two usable Keys available to the
computer when you chose Export to RoadLog, you
will be asked to choose which Key is the one you
wish to activate.
For complete instructions on downloading data from the
EOBR, see the RoadLog User Manual.
Reassigning a Driver Key
A Driver Key can be reassigned to a new Driver by deleting
the Driver’s data from they key, deleting the Key’s Serial
Number from the profile of the old Driver and assigning the
Key’s Serial Number to the new Driver.
WARNING!!! DO NOT DELETE the BOS_
LICENSE.dat file or the driver folder as this will
turn RoadLog Driver Key into a plain USB flash
drive, and you will not be able to use it as a
RoadLog Driver Key.
![](/img.php?id=2448711&img=bg17.png)

Transferring data
6. Transferring data
Uploading Driver data to the
Fleet Management Software
At the end of the workday, Drivers will download their data
from RoadLog to their Driver Key. Once Drivers download
their data from RoadLog to the Driver Key, the data can be
entered into the Fleet Management Software:
• Insert the Driver Key into the PC’s USB port.
• Select Drivers / Vehicles from the main navigation.
• From the Action palette click Import From Roadlog.
• Select the key from which you wish to import. Click
Yes to import all, No to cancel, or Details to choose
specific files to import.
The RoadLog Fleet Software will detect when a new trailer,
not currently in the company data, is included in the data
being imported from the Driver Key. If a new trailer is
detected, a “Create Trailer” pop-up window will appear. Data
for the trailer must be entered and it will be saved along with
the data imported from the Driver Key.
When importing the files from the Fleet Key or
Driver Key the data are archived in the installation folder
(e.g. C:\Program Files\VDO\BOS\dist\Archive).
Exporting to RoadLog
In addition to downloading data from RoadLog to the Fleet
Management Software, there will also be data that must be
uploaded from the Fleet Management Software to RoadLog.
Examples include:
• When a Driver has been assigned a new trailer or
shipping document.
• When company configuration data has been updated.
• When a Driver’s records have been annotated in the
Fleet Manager Software.
To export data from the RoadLog
Fleet Management Software to RoadLog:
• Insert the Driver Key into the PC’s USB port.
• Select Drivers / Vehicles from the main navigation.
• From the Action Palette click on Export to RoadLog.
Company and Driver files are automatically downloaded
to the Driver Key.
Note: If there is more than one Key inserted, you will
be asked to choose the one you want to download to.

Viewer Screen – HOS Tab
The HOS tab displays Driver information across the top of
the work area: name, employee number, date of birth,
Driver ID, the currently displayed date as selected in the
action palette calendar and the cycle chosen for the HOS
schedule.
Note: The Driver information seen here is entered and
maintained on the Driver Data Tab of the Master Data
screens.
In the work area, the Driver’s hours of service are shown in
several formats:
Logbook Timeline
The logbook timeline displays a running line of a Driver’s
Duty Status (On Duty, Driving, Sleeper Berth, Off Duty) and also shows
color-coded indicators for Events, Violations, Exemptions and Supporting
Documents associated with times recorded in the Driver’s log.
Annotating the logbook
The recorded record shown in the logbook timeline can be changed if
necessary. An example would be a period of time when the Driver
neglected to switch from On Duty to Off Duty.
• Click and drag on a segment of the timeline, to select it.
• Right-click on the selection to change (annotate) the status
recorded. A “Create Duty Status” pop-up appears.
• Enter the revised time span and status you wish to record and
click OK.
Note: Segments can only be selected for editing as they were
recorded. Therefore some edits will require you to individually
select and edit multiple adjacent segments to create one
continuous new segment. Segments can also be edited in the
events grid below the logbook view.
While the logbook record displayed will reflect the changes made, the
Fleet Management Software will annotate the data as having been
changed and will retain the original data as well as the revised data. To
view the original, unchanged data, click the “Show Original Data”
checkbox in the Action Palette.
Data can also been added manually when clicking on a calendar day. If
no data is available this message appears: “No HOS data for the Driver
available. To create HOS data please click here.” Clicking brings up a
pop-up where data can be entered. This can also be used to enter
activities recorded for the previous 15 days for a new Driver or when
starting up a new company record.
