Inputs

As well as detecting if the vehicle is moving, stopped or idling, some OBU can be configured to detect other vehicle activity, for example:
  • a door is opened or closed; 
  • the beacon lights are switched on or switched off; 
  • the street sweeper brushes are down or up. 
This vehicle activity is reported in myConnectedFleet portal as an input, as both durations and geographic locations of occurance.

PTOs

Power Take Off (PTO) is where a vehicles engine is being used to power additional machinery, for example a crane. As a PTO uses additional fuel, customers often want to identify this, know how much fuel was used and to see if a vehicle was moving or idling with PTO is enaged. PTO usage is recorded in myConnectedFleet as a specfic type of input.
