How to Create and Manage Scorecard Thresholds
Scorecard thresholds define the limits (i.e., speed, mileage, duration, etc.) at which point violations and bonuses will be created for individual scorecards.

How to Create a Threshold
- 1
- To create a Threshold first create a Scorecard Template by going to "Settings", "Safety & Compliance", and "Create Scorecard Template".
- 2
- Select a threshold from "Threshold Types" on the left side of the page.
- 3
- Once you click a Threshold Type, name the threshold, select the priority level for the threshold, and set the other criteria for the threshold.
- 4
- Select any recipients to notify and click "Create Threshold".

Threshold Types
Camera vs. Tracker
Below is a diagram of which threshold types are sent from Cameras and which threshold types are sent from trackers.
| Threshold Types | Explanation | Camera | Tracker |
| Hard Acceleration | Rapid acceleration exceeds the specified G-force limit. |
|
|
| Hard Breaking | Rapid deceleration exceeds the specified G-force limit. |
|
|
| Hard Cornering | Rapid side movement that exceeds the specified G-force limit. |
|
|
| Idling | No vehicle movement or PTO while engine is running for amount of time that exceeds the specified limit. |
|
|
| Max Speed | Maximum detected vehicle speed exceeds the specified limit. |
|
|
| Speeding | Vehicle speed exceeds the specified limit and duration specified. |
|
|
| Missed Inspection | Vehicle trip occurred and a recurring inspection was not completed. |
|
|
| Miles Driven | Accumulation of miles driven in any vehicle to which the user is assigned. Can be configured as a bonus or a violation. Resets each time the specified limit is exceeded. |
|
|
| Miles Driven without Violation | Accumulation of miles driven in any vehicle to which the user is assigned where no violation was detected. Resets each time the specified limit is exceeded. |
|
|
| Camera Obstructed | Driver’s face cannot be detected by the camera due to an obstruction or improper camera alignment. |
|
|
| Distracted Driving | Driver’s head and/or eye gaze detected looking left or right for an extended period of time while vehicle is traveling more than 20 mph. |
|
|
| Drowsiness/Head Down | Driver’s head detected looking down or eyes detected as closed for an extended period of time while vehicle is traveling more than 5mph. |
|
|
| No Seatbelt | System is unable to detect the presence of the driver’s seatbelt being worn as expected. |
|
|
| Phone Use | Driver is detected holding an object near the head or face for an extended period while the vehicle is traveling more than 5mph. |
|
|
| Smoking | Driver is detected repeatedly holding an object to the mouth. |
|
|
| Yawning | Driver is detected yawning repeatedly for an extended period. |
|
|
| Driver Event/Button Press | Driver or passenger pressed the physical button on the camera to record a custom event. |
|
|
| Forward Collision Warning | Imminent collision was detected with vehicle preceding the driver’s vehicle. |
|
|
| Headway Monitoring | Unsafe following distance is detected between preceding vehicle and the driver’s vehicle more than the configured speed and duration. |
|
|
| High G-Force | Sudden movement in any direction that exceeds the specified G-force limit. |
|
|
| Tailgating | Unsafe following distance is detected between preceding vehicle and the driver’s vehicle in excess of the configured speed and duration. |
|

Speeding vs. Max Speed Thresholds
Max Speed
This ensures the driver never hits unreasonable speed. There is no time element to this threshold, so hitting the Max Speed (like 90 mph) for even a second will generate a violation.
It is important to note that Max Speed violations are triggered exclusively by GPS-calculated speed, sourced from the fleet tracker.
Because GPS relies on satellite signals, it can be subject to environmental variables that make it slightly less precise than the direct mechanical reading from the ECU. However, it remains a highly reliable industry standard for tracking.
Speeding
The speeding threshold is meant to ensure drivers don’t speed. This is typically relative to the speed limit and has a time component.
Example
Do not go 15 mph over the speed limit for more than two minutes.
How Standard "Speeding" is Triggered
Example
If a scorecard template has speeding configured for a duration of 60 seconds, a tracker pings at 9:00 AM and again at 9:01 AM, and the vehicle is over the limit at both points, then a violation is recorded at the 9:01 AM coordinates and includes the location recorded at 9:00 AM when potential speeding was first detected.
How "Max Speed" Differs (The "Every Second" Rule)
Here is how that looks in practice:
- 9:00:00 AM: The tracker sends a normal ping.
- 9:00:04 AM: The vehicle accelerates momentarily and hits its peak speed. This "Max Speed" is captured and stored in the tracker's memory.
- 9:01:00 AM: The next scheduled ping occurs. It is only at this moment that the stored Max Speed from 9:00:04 is uploaded to the server.
The Result: The Max Speed violation will appear on the 9:01 AM ping. This means the coordinates attached to the violation reflect where the vehicle was at 9:01 AM, even though the actual speeding event occurred 56 seconds earlier at a different location.
