Rest planning
The planner calculates from the state of the most recent download how much you have driven and worked so far, when your current rest period can end, and by when at the latest you must start your next daily and weekly rest period.
The planner can only be opened if, on the Settings page, you have set the Base country value.
At the top of the screen, the Valid: row shows which point in time the calculation refers to — this is the time of the download. So the calculation does not show the current moment, but the state at the time of the download. Values exceeding the limit are shown in red. Most rows are only shown if the relevant situation applies.
With the 
button in the bottom right, you can open the Activities or Rest periods list.
What should you do now?
| Label | When it is shown |
|---|---|
| You can still work | You have not exceeded any limit, and the latest start of the next rest period has not yet arrived. |
| You have to finish working! | You have exceeded the continuous, daily, weekly or fortnightly driving time, the 10-hour limit for night work, or the weekly working time — or the latest start of the rest period has arrived and you are not yet resting. |
| Continue the rest period! | You started the rest period in time, but it is not yet long enough. |
If you have already rested enough, none of the labels are shown.
Driving Time
| Row | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Continuous (max 4.5 hours) | The time driven without a break. After the / sign is the break already taken that counts: 00:15, if you have already taken the first part of the split (15 + 30 minute) break. With the Bus driver setting, the longest break segment taken is shown here. |
| Daily (max 9 hours) / Daily (max 10 hours) | The daily driving time. The limit is 10 hours for as long as you still have an extended day available to use this week. |
| Extended Day (max 2) | The number of full stars  shows how many more times you can drive 10 hours this week; the ones already used are shown by an empty star  . |
| Weekly (max 56 hours) | The driving time for the current week. |
| Fortnightly (max 90 hours) | The combined driving time of the current and the previous week. |
Working Time
| Row | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Continuous (max 6 hours) | Work done (driving and other work together) since the last break of at least 15 minutes. |
| Daily | The daily working time, and after the / sign, the sum of the breaks taken (of at least 15 minutes). The break value is red if it is less than required: 30 minutes for more than 6 hours of work, 45 minutes for more than 9 hours. If the shift also included night work, the label is Daily  (max 10 hours), and the working time is red above 10 hours. |
| Weekly (max …) | The working time of the current week. The limit is the time that the 48-hour weekly average of the working time reference period still allows this week, but no more than 60 hours. |
| 4 months average (max 48 hours) | The average weekly working time over the working time reference period. The number of months comes from the Working time frame setting. |
The calculation of working time is affected by several settings: Availability can be considered as a break, Short breaks (<15 min) are not considered work (by default, an interruption shorter than 15 minutes counts as working time), Night work does not limit daily working time, the Night period and the Working time frame. Manually recorded leave days count towards the weekly working time with the number of hours set in the Daily working hours setting. See the Settings page.
If your base country is Italy, the continuous working time counter only restarts once the breaks add up to 30 minutes (even as 15 + 15 minutes); elsewhere, every break of at least 15 minutes restarts it.
Current rest period and possible end times
The Began row shows the start of the last activity — typically the current rest period. The Possible End Times list the times when this rest period can end, depending on what kind of rest period you intend it to be. Only the options that can apply to the current situation are shown:
- Reduced Daily (9 hours), Regular Daily (11 hours);
- Regular Daily (9 hours,
) — split daily rest period, if there was already a break of at least 3 hours during the shift; - Regular Daily (9 hours,
) — multi-manning; - Reduced Weekly (24 hours), Regular Weekly (45 hours);
- With the Bus driver setting: Reduced Weekly (69 hours,
) and Regular Weekly (90 hours, ).
The time is shown in green if a rest period of that length had already elapsed by the time of the download.
Compensation
If you have previously taken a reduced weekly rest period, you must make up the missing part. This section shows up to three such debts: the deadline (for example Within 12 days 5 hours) and the time still to be made up (ΔT=). Using the checkboxes on the rows, you can try out what happens if you attach the debt to the current rest period: the Possible End Times shift later by that amount. Selecting it does not change the No later than deadlines.
Next Daily Rest
| Row | Meaning |
|---|---|
| No later than | You must start the daily rest period by this time so that it fits within the 24 hours (30 hours for multi-manning) counted from the end of the previous daily rest period. Red if the time has passed and you are not yet resting. |
| Duration (regular) 11 | You no longer have a reduced daily rest period available. |
| Duration (possible reduced) 9 | You can still take a reduced daily rest period. |
| Duration () 9 / Duration () 9 | The second part of a split daily rest period, or multi-manning, respectively. |
| Reduced (max 3) | The number of full stars shows how many more reduced daily rest periods you can take before the next weekly rest period. |
If the latest time has passed but you are already resting, the section title becomes Current Daily Rest. The section is not shown if your next rest period can only be a weekly rest period.
Next Weekly Rest
Here the No later than row shows the latest start of the weekly rest period, and the duration is Duration (regular) 45 or Duration (possible reduced) 24. If the 
icon also appears, the rest period may be an international reduced weekly rest period; tapping the row lets you read the relevant regulation.
- The Next Regular Weekly Rest section appears if your next weekly rest period can be reduced: it shows by when at the latest you must take a regular weekly rest period.
- With the Bus driver setting, a separate section marked with the icon shows the deadline and duration (69/90) under the 12-day rule.
Base country
If you are not in your base country, the Return row shows the deadline of the four-week return rule: it expires four weeks after you last took a rest period of at least 45 hours in your base country.
Time machine
Next to the Valid: row is a 
button that lets you try out how the values will develop in the near future. The button is shown if the last activity in the downloaded data is a rest, and it started no more than seven days ago. In the Future plans window you can choose between two options:
- I still want to work — How much longer do you plan to work? You can enter up to 21 hours 45 minutes, in quarter-hour steps; the planner calculates as if you were going to work that much longer from the time of the download.
- I want to take a rest — How long do you plan your current rest period to be? You can enter a time longer than the rest period already elapsed, up to 7 days 23 hours 45 minutes; the planner calculates as if you had gone back to work at the end of your rest period.
During a time-machine calculation, the Valid: row is shown with a blue background to indicate that you are viewing an assumed future state, not the state at the time of the download. You can return to the real state by opening the planner again. If you set a new time, it does not carry the already-set state forward, but recalculates from the time the card was downloaded.
