Tachograph
Explanation:
A tachograph is a device that combines the functions of a clock and a speedometer. Fitted to a motor vehicle, a tachograph records the vehicle's speed and whether it is moving or stationary. The mechanical tachograph writes on a round piece of paper which constantly turns throughout the work day. The marker moves further from the center the faster the vehicle is moving. An entire rotation encompasses 24 hours.

Analogue tachographs record the driver’s periods of duty on a waxed paper disc. However, these are vulnerable to tampering, and so are being replaced by digital tachographs which record data on smart cards.

Tachographs are also used to improve road safety and ensure fair competition. They are also used in the maritime world. Rules for this are made by the Central Commission for Navigation on the Rhine.

After consulting the client, this is the correct term. For some reason, they did not use 'tacografo'... thanks!

Hi Lydia - as it's related to transport I would then suggest:

"ROUTE DISK"

Btw, who is this aimed at? Customers? Can they request these disks?

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Lisa! It is for the company's internal use. It is confusing because some of the terms could apply to the vehicles and/or the computer program.

neutral  Lisa McCarthy: Hi Marian - I'm not sure how this relates to 'disco de recorrido' though, as tachograph is 'tacógrafo' in Spanish
