FAQ
What is the minimum GPS update frequency needed to reliably catch fuel fraud?
To reliably catch fuel misuse, you need GPS updates at least every 60-90 seconds during operating hours. Batch updates every 5-10 minutes create gaps where drivers can fuel up and return to route without the system detec...

Can GPS signal delays cause false fraud alerts?
Yes, GPS signal delays can cause false alerts in dense urban areas or tunnels where signal loss is brief. However, systems account for this with a configurable time buffer (typically 2-5 minutes). Mismatches lasting long...

What triggers a fuel card transaction location mismatch fraud alert?
A fraud alert is triggered when the geofence around a fuel pump's address and the GPS ping from the assigned vehicle don't intersect at the exact transaction timestamp. The system flags variances outside a configurable r...

When should we upgrade from a standard fleet tracker to a hardened security controller for armoured vehicles?
The decision hinges on compliance and liability. If you merely need to know a vehicle's general location, a commercial tracker might suffice. But if you need an immutable, court-admissible log of a high-value asset's exa...

How important is geofencing for cash transit routes?
It's the primary real-time control layer. For transit, you need dynamic corridor geofencing that alerts if the vehicle deviates from the planned route. The real risk is a delayed or missed alert due to telemetry batching...

Can signal jamming really disable vehicle tracking for armoured cash transit?
Yes, easily. Low-cost jammers flood GPS frequencies, causing standard devices to lose fix. A proper security-grade controller detects this jamming as an attack signature, triggers an immediate tamper alert via cellular b...

What's the main difference between a regular fleet GPS and one for an armoured cash transit vehicle?
The core difference is signal integrity under attack. A fleet tracker reports location, while an armoured vehicle controller guarantees location veracity. It uses multi-frequency GNSS to resist jamming, encrypts every da...

How can predictive tyre pressure monitoring help with fleet safety compliance?
Predictive maintenance logs demonstrate a proactive, systematic approach to vehicle safety during audits, which can help lower intervention rates and improve CSA (Compliance, Safety, Accountability) scores by showing ins...

When should a fleet consider replacing their entire tyre monitoring system rather than upgrading it?
Consider full replacement if your current hardware only provides basic 'low/okay' alerts, or if your telematics platform cannot store and analyze high-frequency data. Just upgrading sensors won't work if the backend lack...

What technical requirements are needed for effective predictive tyre pressure monitoring?
You need sensors that report continuous PSI readings (not just basic 'low/okay' alerts) and a telematics platform capable of storing and analyzing high-frequency time-series data. The system should take PSI readings ever...

What are the limitations of predictive tyre pressure monitoring systems?
Predictive systems can forecast wear-based failures and slow leaks but cannot predict sudden impact-based damage like curb strikes or nails picked up immediately after leaving the yard. They complement but do not replace...

What is the main advantage of predictive tyre pressure alerts over basic monitoring systems?
Predictive tyre pressure alerts can forecast tyre failures days in advance by analyzing pressure decay trends, engine temperature data, and load patterns, allowing for scheduled maintenance before a failure occurs during...
