Parking detection

Tune idle time and speed thresholds to control trip and stop boundaries in reports, with optional ignition or motion sensor confirmation.

Parking detection defines when a vehicle counts as parked versus in a trip, the basis for trips, stops, and parking in reports. It identifies when an object has been stationary long enough, below a speed threshold, optionally confirmed by ignition or a motion sensor.

Settings

• Minimum idle time: How long an object must remain stationary before it's considered parked. Range 1–1440 minutes, default 5.

• Idle speed threshold: The speed under which the object must stay to be detected as parked. Range 0–200 km/h, default 3.

• Use ignition: Confirm parking using the ignition state. Appears only if an ignition sensor is configured.

• Use motion sensor: Confirm parking using the motion sensor. Appears only on devices with a motion sensor.

A Reset to defaults button restores the default values.

How conditions combine

• By speed and time: parking is detected when speed drops below the threshold and stays there longer than the minimum idle time. Stops shorter than the minimum idle time don't interrupt the trip.

• Considering ignition: the trip starts when speed ≥ threshold and ignition is on. The trip ends when speed drops below threshold and either the idle time is exceeded or ignition is off.

• Considering motion sensor: the trip starts when speed ≥ threshold and the motion sensor detects movement. The trip ends when speed drops below threshold or motion stops, and the idle time is exceeded.

• Considering both: ignition takes precedence over the motion sensor.

Availability

Available on all devices except a few models that don't support parking detection.

Limitations

• The Use ignition and Use motion sensor options only appear when the corresponding sensor exists on the device.

• Tuning idle time and speed threshold to the vehicle's real behavior minimizes false detections and improves trip accuracy.
