When using Motive’s speed violation detection, you can choose between two speed settings: Regular Speed Limit and Trucking Speed Limit.
Regular Speed Limits
Regular speed limits are the standard rules governing everyday driving. These limits are applicable to typical passenger vehicles and can vary depending on the type of road, area, and local regulations. They are designed to ensure safe driving conditions for most vehicles on the road.
Trucking Speed Limits
Trucking speed limits, on the other hand, are specifically tailored for large trucks and commercial vehicles. These limits are often lower than regular speed limits due to the larger size and weight of trucks, which require more time and space to stop safely. Trucking speed limits are implemented to prioritize safety, and they may vary based on the road or location.
How Motive Detects Speeding Violations
Motive detects speeding violations based on your selected speed setting. If you choose Regular Speed Limits, Motive will monitor speed based on standard regulations. If you opt for Trucking Speed Limits, Motive will consider the specific speed limits for trucks.
Default Behavior
In locations where there is no posted truck speed limit, Motive will automatically default to using the Regular Speed Limit for violation detection.
In Summary
- Regular Speed Limits: Apply to everyday passenger vehicles.
- Trucking Speed Limits: Apply specifically to large trucks and commercial vehicles, often with lower speed restrictions.
- Motive’s Detection: Motive will monitor based on the speed setting you select and default to regular speed limits where truck-specific limits are not posted.
By understanding the difference, you can ensure that Motive accurately detects and reports speeding violations according to the appropriate regulations.
