Telemetry: Unauthorized Usage

The Unauthorized Usage report details the time spent driving the vehicle while it is disconnected from the gateway (i.e. off), has no GPS (disconnected GPS antenna), outside of the defined hours, or outside of the designated zones. The intent is to detect when vehicles are being used outside of their expected use conditions.

The report example shows that, in addition to the odometer details for the vehicles, two of them have engaged in unauthorized usage, as defined by the AMM. Note the Odometer Distance with no OBD/Telemetry and Odometer Distance with No GPS columns. If either of these readings represent a significant portion of the total distance traveled, users should investigate them further. They could, for example, identify an employee who disconnected the GPS antenna for unauthorized vehicle use.
