Our car trackers detect certain events regarding driver behaviour.
With this information, you can get a better overview on how your vehicles are being handled and can take steps to help your drivers improve their driving.
This article explains how these events are detected and what they mean.
To see how to set up notification about such events, visit the below article.

Harsh cornering is detected by how fast the driving angle changes over time. It is a hardcoded value in the device’s configuration.
Currently our trackers will report a harsh cornering event if the cornering is faster than 5,5 rad/second.
Harsh acceleration is detected whenever a vehicle’s acceleration is greaten than 4,5 m/s²
Harsh breaking is triggered whenever a vehicle’s speed is decreasing with a rate larger than 4,5 m/s².
We are continuously trying to refine these values to not trigger too often during a trip. If you feel that alerts are generated way too frequently for certain scenarios, feel free to reach out to us with a indicating specific trip and time when said alerts were triggered. Information like this can be of great value in order to refine this feature for a more realistic behaviour.
