Description
The Driving Time rule is designed to track and monitor the work and rest conditions of drivers. By implementing this rule, users can ensure compliance with driving time regulations and promote driver safety.
Once the tracker exceeds the allowed uninterrupted driving period, the system will generate a notification, alerting the user. The rule will automatically reset once the driver rests for a specified time, which can be set by the user.
To configure the rule, users need to define two intervals:
- Maximum Allowed Driving Time: This interval determines the maximum duration for continuous driving before a notification is triggered.
- Minimal Parking Time to Reset the Rule: This interval specifies the minimum duration of parking time required to reset the rule. It's important to note that the reset timer will only start when the device enters the parking state.
By setting up the Driving Time rule, users can effectively monitor the driving durations of their drivers, ensuring compliance with regulations and promoting healthy work-rest schedules. This feature helps prevent driver fatigue, reduces the risk of accidents, and contributes to overall driver well-being and safety.
Settings

Notifications
Emergency notification:

SMS notifications:
List of recipients for SMS notifications when the event occurs.
Email notifications:

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 "Driving time" 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 that 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.
