How to modify the default trip definition value
The trip definition allows defining in which situations the asset will be considered as running or idling. The definition generates standstills on the map where the asset is considered idling.
Default standstills are displayed on the map when the track of the asset is displayed, and idling at least 120 seconds. Read about the trip definition here.
Modify the trip definition
Follow these steps to change the Trip Definition value:
1. Map the Ignition input on the Device Mapper
First, you must verify that you have correctly mapped the signal you want to use in our Trip Definition. In this example, we'll use Ignition in the Device Mapper.
In the application, go to Admin > Device Mappers and map your Ignition variable. The input this comes from depends on your tracker's brand and model. Consult with your tracker manufacturer's support to learn more about Ignition detection for your particular tracker.
2. Change the Trip Definition to Device Input - Variable
Open the Device Mapper again, and choose your tracker.
Scroll down on the Setup page to find Trip Definition.
2.1 In Type, select Device Input.
2.2 In Minimum Idle Time, select the amount of time that will define a standstill.
2.3 In Input, select the variable that will generate the new trip definition (e.g. Ignition).
2.4 Save the device mapper configuration.
3. Reprocess the tracks
After changing the Input in the Trip Definition, reprocess tracking data to reflect the new values for your standstills.
