How Alerts Work
Alerts turn live vehicle events into action. Learn how the Overview, Inbox and Rules tabs work together — and how rules drive every alert your fleet receives.
Create an Alert Rule
Build a rule-based alert in AVLView: pick a template, set conditions, choose STATE, EVENT or ESCALATION behaviour, then assign vehicles and notifications.
The Alerts Inbox
The Alerts Inbox lists every alert AVLView raises. Filter, acknowledge, resolve, and export from one triage screen.
Alert Notifications & Channels
Choose how AVLView alert rules reach your team: In-App, Push, Email and SMS channels, recipients, quiet hours and message content.
Speeding & Adaptive Speeding Alerts
Get alerted when a vehicle overspeeds — either past a fixed limit or the road's posted limit — using AVLView's rule-based Alerts.
Harsh Driving: Braking, Acceleration & Cornering
Flag harsh braking, harsh acceleration and harsh cornering with rule-based driver-safety alerts that feed your driver scorecard.
Panic Button Alert
Get an instant alert when a driver presses the panic or SOS button. Set up the Panic Button safety rule in AVLView Alerts.
Unauthorised Access Alert
Get alerted the moment a vehicle is started with no recognised driver — the classic sign of unauthorised use. Build it in a minute under Alerts > Rules.
Vehicle Theft & Towing Alert
Get alerted when a vehicle moves outside its schedule — a sign it’s being towed or stolen after hours. Build it as a rule in AVLView’s Alerts module.
Geofence Entry & Exit Alert
Know the moment a vehicle enters or leaves a zone. Build a geofence entry & exit alert in AVLView from the map or the rule builder.
Spotfence Alert
Know the moment a vehicle reaches a specific site. AVLView's Spotfence rule triggers on arrival at a POI or point.
Seatbelt Alert
Get alerted when a driver sets off or drives without a seatbelt. Build it as a rule under Alerts > Rules.
Service Due Alert
Get alerted before a vehicle is overdue for service. AVLView's maintenance rule triggers on engine hours, odometer or date and escalates if ignored.
Excessive Idling Alert
Get alerted when a vehicle idles with the engine running beyond your limit (default over 15 minutes). Build it under Alerts > Rules.
Low Battery Alert
Be warned before a flat battery strands a vehicle. AVLView's Battery Low rule watches voltage and auto-resolves when it recovers.
Battery / Power Disconnect Alert
Get a critical alert the moment the tracking device loses main power — an early tamper and theft warning for your fleet.
Temperature Alert
Get alerted when engine coolant overheats or a cold-chain load breaches its range. Set up a Temperature rule in AVLView Alerts.
Fuel Drain & Theft Alert
Catch fuel theft as it happens. This alert fires on a sudden fuel drop that looks like siphoning — a sharp drop while the vehicle is stationary.
Low Fuel Alert
Notify drivers when fuel drops below a level you set, so they refuel before running dry. Build it as a fuel-level rule in AVLView’s Alerts module.
Route Deviation Alert
Get alerted when a vehicle leaves the route it should follow. Set up a Route Deviation rule against a route fence in AVLView Alerts.
Unscheduled Stop / Overstay Alert
Catch unplanned stops. AVLView's unscheduled stop alert fires when a vehicle idles or stays put longer than expected on a route.
Driver Fatigue Alert
Tired drivers cause crashes. This alert fires when a driver stays behind the wheel too long without a break — default over 240 minutes.
After-Hours & Daily Driving Limit Alert
Catch vehicles moving outside your business hours and cap total daily driving time — an operations rule for after-hours and fatigue control.
Refuel Alert
Get notified when a refuelling event is detected, so you can reconcile fuel spend. Build it under Alerts > Rules.
Proximity Alert
Get notified when a vehicle comes within a set distance of a point of interest — built as a rule on a POI with a buffer radius.
Off-Site Stoppage Alert
Get alerted when a vehicle stops somewhere that isn't one of your approved sites — a rule combining a stoppage condition with 'outside' your zones.
Phone Usage Alert
Get alerted when a driver uses a phone while driving — a distraction-safety alert. Build it as a rule in AVLView’s Alerts module.
Door Open / Close Alert
Get alerted the moment a vehicle or cargo door opens or closes. Set up a Door Open / Close rule in AVLView Alerts.
Ignition On / Off Alert
Know the moment a vehicle starts or shuts down. Ignition On/Off alerts are ideal for start-of-day checks and after-hours monitoring.
Air-Conditioning On / Off Alert
Get alerted when a vehicle’s air-conditioning turns on or off — or is misused, like running with the engine off. Build it as a rule in AVLView.
Driver Licence Expiry Reminder
Be reminded ahead of a driver's licence expiry so it's renewed in time. Set the date on the Driver record, then build a rule.
Not Receiving Alerts?
Alerts or reminders not arriving? Work through this checklist covering rule status, schedule, assignments, recipients, quiet hours, providers and sensors.
Verify a Fuel-Drain Alert
Not every fuel-drain alert is theft. Here's how to confirm whether a drop is real theft or a fuel-sensor artefact before you act.
