Description
Parking states can basically be divided into two main categories: Parked (Standstill), Unparked (Moving, Stop). This type of rule allows users to get notifications when a parking state changes from one to another. Some organizations want to control the driving time of their vehicles. For example, vehicles shouldn’t be used off-duty. So this rule also helps to stay aware of the beginning/end of a trip. It can send notifications to the user interface, your email address or phone number about the parking states of selected objects. Please consider reviewing the Parking detection article before setting up the rule.
By setting up this rule, users can stay informed about the beginning and end of trips, as well as changes in the parking status of their vehicles. Notifications can be delivered to the user interface, email address, or phone number, providing real-time updates on the parking states of the selected objects.
Overall, the Parking State rule, in conjunction with Parking Detection, enables users to stay informed about the usage of their vehicles, particularly outside of designated hours or when vehicles should not be parked or started. This enhances control, security, and efficiency in fleet management operations.
Settings
The configurations for a parking detection rule are made exclusively within the Parking detection portlet. For detailed information on these configurations, it is recommended consulting the Parking detection article.

Schedule
Set a schedule for when the rule will run. If your schedule indicates that the event should not run some day or time period, it will not appear as a notification in the user interface, and notifications via SMS or email will not be sent. Additionally, you can choose a default template for quick scheduling.
The platform specifics:
- The "Parking detection" alert has a 10-second reset timer, meaning the alert event will not occur more often than once every 10 seconds. If this type of event occurs in time the rule has been waiting for the reset, this event will be omitted by the platform, including the reports.
- This rule is a generic type and is not specific to any particular hardware, which means it can be applied to multiple trackers simultaneously. This allows for the selection of several trackers within a single rule.
Event reports
To view the dates when the events were received, you can build the "Report on all events" report.
