Driver Fatigue Alert

A Driver Fatigue alert fires when a driver has been at the wheel continuously beyond a safe limit — by default more than 240 minutes — without a sufficient break. It is a core safety and compliance control that helps you prevent fatigue-related crashes.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a break?

A sufficient stop resets the continuous-driving timer. Set the limit and break to match your fatigue policy — the default is 240 minutes of driving.

How do I report on this?

Pair the alert with the Driver Hours & Shift Compliance report and configure Business Schedule shifts so hours are measured against the right working window.
