One of the best examples of this are the digital tachograph design documents, which are hundreds of pages of legal gibberish mixed with a convoluted tech spec. 100% design by comitee. No wonder the top digital tachograph supplier is VDO and one if the lesser players, Stoneridge, has a much better designed and executed product.
In contrast with this, the US ELD is an 125 page document standardising functionality and the data output of the device.
- e-_pusher 6y agoThis is really interesting - do you have any links to the documents you mention?
- petre 6y agoYes. Here you can find all the associated documents but I'm talking about Regulation EU 2016/799 and Electronic Logging Device Final Rule specifically. https://ec.europa.eu/transport/modes/road/social-provisions/tachograph_en https://ec.europa.eu/transport/modes/road/social-provisions/... https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/hours-service/elds/electronic-logging-devices https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/hours-service/elds/electronic-logg...
