Lesson 1Trip segmentation and geo-fence events: start/stop detection, dwell time, zone entry/exitThis lesson explains how raw location points are grouped into trips and stops using speed, ignition, and geofences. It covers start and stop detection, time spent in areas, entering and leaving zones, and setup choices for various fleet types.
