Example

A vehicle is being operated by one driver, and another driver subsequently takes control of the vehicle. The DMS detects the change in the identified driver and sends the corresponding event to the system. The Driver Changed alert is triggered, and the configured users receive a notification, allowing the fleet operator to maintain visibility of driver changes and driver activity.
