Checking Overspeed Events

An overspeed event is an event generated by a vehicle that has:

• exceeded 5km/h over the posted speed limit (default threshold), or

• exceeded 101km/h (if legacy single limit overspeed enabled), or

• exceeded your company's set overspeed limit (if legacy single speed limit is enabled)

The checks to make when verifying overspeed events:

• Is the overspeed event actually on the road? If the event is half-way up a hill or on top of a house, then the event was subject to GPS bounce and is not correct.

• Is the overspeed event in a highly built-up area? Even if the event is on the road, sometimes a highly built up area or canopy coverage will create GPS bounce.

• Check the events immediately before and after the overspeed event. If there is a large jump in speed in a small amount of time, this event may not be correct.

• It is recommended that these events are viewed as a trend for the driver, rather as individual events. Unless the speed has dangerously exceeded acceptable limits.

• If there is a pattern of high number of overspeeding or high g-force events, compared to other drivers, further investigation of vehicle/driver history may be appropriate.

• In the Smartrak app > Map, change the base map view to the Vector Speed Maps view (bottom left of the screen), which will identify the posted road speed data that Smartrak has on file.

Example view of Napier city below showing the different colours on the roads which relate to a different posted speed limit (e.g., pale green = 100km/h, yellow = 80km/h, orange = 50km/h, etc), you can hover over each road to get the road name and posted speed limit.
