Harsh Driving: Braking, Acceleration & Cornering

Harsh braking, harsh acceleration and harsh cornering are the clearest signs of aggressive driving. AVLView ships three driver-safety templates so you can catch each manoeuvre the moment it happens — great input for your driver scorecard.

How to set it up

1. Go to Alerts > Rules and click Create rule.
2. Pick the matching driver-safety template — Harsh Braking, Harsh Acceleration or Harsh Cornering — or choose Start from scratch.
3. Adjust the condition to match how you operate.
4. Choose which vehicles or groups the rule applies to.
5. Set a schedule — Always, Business Hours, Outside Business Hours or Custom.
6. Pick the notification channels — In-App, Push, Email or SMS.
7. Click Save. When the rule triggers, the alert lands in your Alerts Inbox and notifications go out.

What you can set

• Harsh Braking — an EVENT that fires on deceleration above 15 km/h/s.
• Harsh Acceleration — an EVENT that fires on acceleration above 12 km/h/s.
• Harsh Cornering — an EVENT that fires when cornering force exceeds 0.4 g.
• Vehicles / groups — apply the rule to one vehicle, a group or the whole fleet.
• Schedule — Always, Business Hours, Outside Business Hours or Custom.
• Notifications — In-App, Push, Email or SMS.
• Behaviour settings — fine-tune to cut noise from routine driving.

Create one rule per manoeuvre for granular control, or document all three together for a single driver-safety policy.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a special sensor?

No. Harsh-driving events are derived from the tracking device's motion data, so no extra hardware is required.

Can I run all three manoeuvres from one rule?

Yes — you can document all three together, or split them into separate rules if you want different thresholds or notifications per manoeuvre.
