The Fleet Dashboard enables Fleet Admins to configure email alert notifications to catch speeding incidents as soon as they happen. These email notifications go straight to the Fleet User in real time, allowing them to take corrective action on the spot and tell their Drivers to slow down.
Fleet Users can choose to either have an alert when
- Vehicle speed reaches the mentioned units above the posted limit
- Vehicle speed increases above the specified speed
