Example

A Free Wheeling Alert is triggered when a vehicle is in motion while the accelerator pedal remains in a neutral position or the engine RPM stays below the defined threshold for the configured duration and speed tolerance. Once triggered, notifications are sent via the selected channels (SMS, Email, or In-App Notification), enabling fleet managers to quickly identify unsafe driving practices, prevent potential vehicle damage, and promote safer driving behavior.
