The practical takeaway

Track the timestamp, accuracy and source of the latest location. Distinguish a stationary vehicle from a device that stopped reporting.

Define the records and rules

Track the timestamp, accuracy and source of the latest location. Distinguish a stationary vehicle from a device that stopped reporting.

Connect the operational workflow

Use an appropriate boundary buffer and dwell time. Keep arrival and departure rules separate from route-deviation alerts.

Checks before implementation

Test delayed positions, poor reception, boundary oscillation and offline devices. Link each alert to a review action and preserve the relevant location history.
