Parking detection 0 km/h max idle speed

Question

What happens if the max idle speed is set to 0 km/h in the Parking Detection configuration?

Answer

If the idling speed is set to 0 km/h, the platform’s logic would require receiving a speed lower than 0 km/h in order to classify the status as parked. This is impossible because devices never send negative speeds.

As a result, setting the threshold to 0 km/h negatively affects route processing:

  • The platform would not be able to separate trips by parking events.

  • The unit would always appear as “moving” (movement arrow), even when it is actually parked.

Therefore, setting the idle speed threshold to 0 km/h is not recommended.

For this reason, we recommend:

  • Checking the motion sensitivity settings on the device.

  • Possibly escalating the issue to the manufacturer, so they can help improve movement-detection accuracy.
