The state line crossing event is a server-side event that you need to enable for an organization that needs to comply with IFTA.
This event is the mechanism whereby the distances within a state are calculated to collect and distribute fuel tax revenue between member states and Canadian provinces.
On-Road IoT has a spatial map layer for all states, and when positions are processed, they are tagged with a state value. When a position comes in with a new state value, the state line crossing event is triggered.
For FM mobile devices, the positions are recorded as per the passive trail setting, as shown below with a default value of 300 seconds. This setting is found on the F3 - GPS line on the mobile device template and can be changed as desired.
- In On-Road IoT, click Manage.
- Under Config Admin, click Templates.
- Click the Mobile device templates tab on the left.
- Look for the template you want to amend and click the name of the template.
- Click on the GPS receiver connection hyperlink next to the F3 line (FM moible device templates).
- Scroll to the Features and settings section and check the box next to Passive trail.
- Enter the value in seconds.
- Click Save.
For the MiX 4000 and MiX 6000 devices, there is no difference between the passive and active position settings. The AVL rate is used to record each position, and this is every 30 seconds by default. This setting is found under the mobile device settings when you click on the name of the mobile device type, under the template name.
