Harsh driving

Set harsh-driving thresholds on the GPS device in Navixy. Events generated here power Notifications and Eco-driving reports. Units vary by device family.

Configures device-side detection of harsh acceleration, braking, and cornering. When the device's accelerometer exceeds the configured thresholds, it generates a Harsh driving event, which feeds Notifications and Eco-driving reports.

Settings

Enable or disable, plus thresholds for acceleration, braking, and (usually) cornering. Different devices measure harsh driving differently, by g-force, by speed change, or by force percentage. Your device manual states which method applies. The unit and tuning style differ by device family:

G-force thresholds (g-force is the force felt during acceleration or braking relative to gravity; e.g. about 0.04–3 g, lower = more sensitive), e.g. BCE.
Speed-change thresholds: A km/h change over a detection time, sometimes with a cornering angle (0–180°) and cornering speed, e.g. GoSafe, Concox, Ruptela.
Speed-range tables (different thresholds at low, medium, or high speed) and vehicle presets (car, bus, or truck), e.g. some Teltonika/Queclink.
Force percentages (e.g. 25–100%), e.g. Tramigo.
Some models can additionally use the motion sensor alongside GPS.

Because units and fields are vendor-specific, the exact controls depend on your device. Tune thresholds to the vehicle type. A sedan accelerates faster than a bus, so the appropriate threshold values differ.

Availability

Appears on devices that support harsh-event detection (not all models do, and some report only a subset of event types).

Limitations

Thresholds live here, not in the Eco-driving report, the report only assigns penalties to events the device already generated.
Events while the vehicle is essentially stopped are ignored.
