At the object settings you can manage the settings for your vehicle. This includes how it's displayed in the portal, which functions are supported and which data is collected.
Overview
On opening the object settings you will see an overview page first. Here you can see all vehicles of which you own the required rights. The table helps you to get a quick overview about the current settings. You can filter the view by using the free-text search and vehicle group restriction. Click on the gear wheel at the top right of the table to edit the table view. The table offers a variety of columns which can be shown or hidden and changed in their order.
Edit settings
To edit the settings of a vehicle, hover its line in the table and click on "edit" in the action menu on the right side. If you want to edit multiple vehicles at once, select them by enabling their checkbox and click on "edit multi selection".
Base data
At base data you will see some general info and settings of your vehicle.
Map
Map symbol
The map symbol defines which symbol shall be used to show this vehicle in the map. You can choose between different symbols and colors to represent your vehicle in the best way. Some symbol types are only available in one color.
Routing profile
If you do a routing request at the portal, the best route will be calculated. This route depends on a lot of factors like your vehicles size, its emission or what it's transporting. These factors can be grouped as a routing profile which you can assign to your vehicle here. This profile will be used automatically on planning a new route for this vehicle.
Odometer
These settings are unavailable if your vehicle uses an automatic source for getting odometer values like the Digitacho. Automatic sources should always be preferred to odometer calculation via GPS.
Odometer
By default the odometer value is calculated by the vehicles GPS data. This might lead to variation or you might have to set the intial value. You can do this here. Please notice that there are some requirements for using this function. You can change the odometer value every 10 minutes at max. You have to wait until the vehicle confirmed the last value before you can send another. The new odometer value can not be lower than the last manual value. Editing the odometer value can not be reverted!
Correction factor
Calculating the odometer value based on GPS data might lead to variation. These might be adjusted by adding a general correction factor. If you set a value different from 1, each driven kilometre will be multiplied by this value in the future.
Report
Idle report
To enable the correct evaluation at the idle report, the vehicle has to be activated for this report. Only then the vehicle will send special position messages on detecting an idle state and if the idle has state has ended.
Digitacho profile
Vehicle which do cross-border passenger service apply to other work time laws than for example transport vehicles. Drivers of such vehicles are allowed to work 2 working weeks after another and have to do 2 week idle times afterwards.
If the bus profile is selected, it affects the D8 data of all drivers using this vehicle.
Travel-time report
Here you can set how the travel-time should be recorded. By default this is the time between ignition on and ignition off. You might change this to another input. Furthermore you can decide if the speed should be used for idle detection.
