This feature enables customers to detect the start and end of a trip without requiring physical vehicle movement. It activates when the driver/operator engages the vehicle’s ignition within the relevant automotive application.
The functionality is particularly valuable when the telematics device is also connected to the vehicle’s RPM signal, as it provides more accurate monitoring in industries that utilise yellow equipment. In these sectors, operator productivity is typically measured in engine hours rather than distance travelled — unlike standard HCV or LCV vehicles.
