RPM Idling Alert

 The RPM Idling alert is used to notify users when the vehicle's engine remains running at an idle RPM condition for the configured duration. This alert helps fleet operators monitor unnecessary engine idling, identify potential fuel wastage, and improve vehicle and engine utilization.

Parameters Considered (Prerequisites)

• Engine RPM Data: The selected vehicle must provide engine RPM data through the connected GPS tracking device, CAN bus, or vehicle system.
• Idling Detection: The system must receive valid RPM data to identify the engine idling condition.
• Duration: The configured duration determines how long the RPM idling condition must persist before the alert is triggered.

Example

A vehicle is stationary with its engine running, and the engine remains at the defined idling condition for the configured duration. The RPM Idling alert is triggered, and the selected users receive a notification. This allows the fleet operator to identify unnecessary idling and take action to reduce fuel consumption and engine wear.
