The Idle Time Alert sends an alert notification when a vehicle idles for a period of time at or more than the specified time limit (default is 15 minutes).
Recipients
This alert can be configured to be sent to recipients via text and/or email with the option to notify the driver with a custom message. This alert allows drivers to reduce idling in real-time, which may lead to decreased fuel expenses.
