To remove the need to physically interface to the OBU and to expand the type of inputs that can be supported by myConnectedFleet, a set of advanced input event endpoints have been created that allow input event data to be sent to the myConnectedFleet platform using the Advanced Inputs API. Input events added using the Advanced Inputs API are
  • Shown in the myConnectedFleet portal.
  • Included in the response of Live Position and Live Position Latest.
An input event consists of:
  • Asset identifier: the asset that the input event was generated against.
  • Location: the latitude and longitude values where the input event occurred.
  • Event type: describes the overall event.
  • Channel: describes data for the event consisting of a number of input type key/value pairs.
These are some example event and input types:
Event TypeInput types
Vehicle MetricsEngine temperature, Tyre pressure, Oil Level
Refuse collectionBin Weight, Bin RFID tag, Photograph
Gully CleaningCustomer name, Work order, Time taken. Oil Level
Event Types and Input Types are loosely coupled. So, it is possible to use the “Oil Level” input for both the “Vehicle Metrics” and “Gully Cleaning” events.
