Counter Sensors

The Counter sensors table shows the operation of the Counter type sensors.

To receive the information about a specific counter sensor, specify its name or part of the name using wildcard symbols — an asterisk * (replaces several characters) or question mark ? (replaces one symbol) in the Sensor masks section of the table settings. The sensor name can’t contain commas. If sensor masks are not specified, the information in the table is displayed for all counter sensors of the unit.

The Counter sensors table can include the columns described below.

Column Description
Sensor The name of the sensor.
Activated The time of activation.
Deactivated The time of deactivation.
Duration The duration of the operation.
Total time The time from the beginning to the end of sensor activation. It is recommended to use this column in combination with the grouping parameter or the Total row. If the Total row is configured in the table, it shows all the time that elapsed from the beginning of the first activation of the sensor to the end of the last one.
Location The location at the moment of sending the data.
Mileage The distance traveled for the operation period.
Mileage (adjusted) Mileage subject to the coefficient set in the unit properties on the Advanced tab.
Avg speed The average speed at this interval.
Max speed The maximum speed at this interval.
Counter The value of the counter sensor. By default, it is rounded to an integer number.
Geofences/Units The column that includes the names of the geofences or units which were crossed during a given interval. The required geofences and units should be indicated in the filtering parameters. If at some interval there were several geofences or units like that, in the table there will be the name of the geofence with the smallest area or the name of the unit with the smallest radius of approximation. If the sizes coincide, all the names will be included.
Driver The name of the driver (if available).
Trailer The name of the trailer (if it was assigned).
Penalties The penalties calculated for the adjusted Eco driving criteria. Penalty averaging for grouping rows (group headings) can be adjusted in report settings.
Rank The received penalty points converted into a 10-point rating system.
Notes An empty column for your custom comments.

Interval filtering can be applied to the Counter sensors table: by duration, mileage, engine hours, speed range, trips, stops, parkings, sensors, drivers, fuel fillings, fuel drains, battery charges, and geofences/units.

The value of the counter sensor can be visualized in the chart that shows the operation intervals of the counter and its value. You can learn more about the charts here.

Questions and answers

Reports show incorrect mileage. What should I do?

Possible explanations and actions:

1. Outliers of data.

To detect such outliers, build a track of unit movement for the appropriate period. Outliers of data will be seen on the track as dashed lines.

Ways to overcome outliers:

  • Enable filtering of unit positional information in messages (on the Advanced tab of unit properties). This will not affect old messages but applied to new ones.
  • To correct data in reports, change settings of trip detection, in particular, reduce Maximum interval between messages and increase Minimum satellites.

2. Incorrect settings or operation of the mileage counter.

  • Check the mileage counter settings on the General tab of unit properties.
Do reports display the data on the manual assignment of the driver after the data storage period expires?

Yes, but only if the driver has not had other assignments since they were last assigned to the unit.
