The monitoring system automatically detects the facts of parking (states without movement), for the following purposes:
- To split a movement trajectory to separate trips - for clear illustration and easy viewing in tabular reports;
- To capture "Trip end" / "Trip start" events - with possibility of Email/SMS notification.
Control of parameters of detection is carried out through the "Parking detection" portlet in the Devices and settings application.
Parking detection logic
Parking status will be detected, if actual speed of an object has been less than defined speed value within set time period (or longer). Speed is determined by GPS/GLONASS data.
This state is determined by the following parameters:
- Minimum idle detection time (min_parking)
- Maximum idle speed (min_speed)
By default, these parameters are 5 minutes and 3 km/h.
By speed and time:
- Parking starts at point with speed < min_speed.
- Stops that are < min_parking do not count and do not break the track.
Considering ignition:
- Track starts if speed >= min_speed and ignition is on;
- Track ends if speed < min_speed and (elapsed time > min_parking or ignition is off).
Considering movement sensor:
- Track starts if speed >= min_speed and there is movement;
- Track ends if (speed < min_speed or there is no movement) and esapsed time > min_parking.
Considering movement and ignition:
- Ignition status takes priority over motion sensor;
- Trip starts if speed >= min_speed and there is movement + ignition condition;
- Track ends if (speed < min_speed or there is no movement) and (elapsed time > min_parking + ignition condition).
