What is a trip?

A trip is a set of tracker telemetric points with a start and an end. The start and end endpoints are computed automatically by our system in real time.

We save a trip when one of the following series of events takes place:

• Two consecutive points of the same tracker have a time difference of more than 5 minutes.
• Two consecutive points of the same tracker have a time difference of more than 90 seconds and a distance difference of less than 50 meters.
• There is a trip in progress, and there have not been any new points in the last 10 minutes.

The system computes trips as they happen and gives you access to the real-time trip the tracker creates (see API section for more details).

Astara Connect provides the following information for the trips:

• Current trip for a given tracker.
• All trips for a given tracker.
• List of dates when a tracker has a trip.
• Some trips by vehicle type, make, or model (you can filter them by a range of dates).
• Average, max, and min km of trips by vehicle type, make, or model (you can filter them by a range of dates and for a given group -previously known as an organization).
• List of trips per vehicle for a given group (previously known as an organization).
• Total km by vehicle type, make (you can filter them by a range of dates and for a given group -previously known as organization).
