Example

A vehicle is being operated by different drivers across designated shifts. When the DMS detects the start or change of a driver's shift, the Driver Shift alert is triggered. The configured users receive a notification, allowing the fleet manager to monitor driver activity and verify that the vehicle is being operated by the appropriate driver during the assigned shift.
