Example
A driver temporarily leaves the driver's position and later returns to the vehicle. The DMS detects the driver's return and sends the corresponding event to the system. The Driver Back alert is triggered, and the configured users receive a notification, allowing the fleet operator to monitor driver presence and activity.
