Glossary

Active time (faults)

The amount of time that a fault is indicated as active on the vehicle. Note that some fault detection methods have no explicit way to detect that the fault is no longer present. These reset at extraction; therefore, active time must be used carefully based on the mode of fault detection.

Actual Idle Fuel

Fuel wasted in intertrip idle or short idle, based on the amount of idle time and the average fuel consumed per hour at idle.

Actual Overrev Fuel

Fuel wasted due to overrev time, excluding overrev that is also overspeed time, based on the average incremental fuel consumption per hour of overrev and the amount of shift overrev time.

Actual Spdng Fuel

Fuel wasted due to overspeed time and excessive overspeed time, based on estimates of the average miles (or kilometers) per hour and time over the overspeed threshold, and the specified difference in fuel economy for each mile (or kilometer) per hour over the threshold.

Auto Extract

Determines whether each record was generated as a result of an automatic extract or not. (0=manually extracted, 1=auto extracted, blank=unknown)

Auto Fault Check

Idle time

Time that the engine is running but the vehicle speed is zero. Derived by: ENGINE TIME - MOVING TIME

Ignition violation count

The count of ignition violations. An ignition violation is counted when a driver changes ignition state three times within a specified period; for example, 5 minutes. After a first violation is counted, additional violations are counted for every two changes in state within each specified period until a full time period passes without any more violations.

Ignition violation rate (percentage)

Derived by: IGNITION VIOLATION COUNT / TRIP SEGMENT COUNT X 100

Ignition Violation Time

Turning the ignition on and off three times within the specified time causes an ignition violation. After the first violation, the time is reset, and turning the ignition on or off two more times within the specified time causes additional violations. A typical value is 5 minutes.

Intrtrp Idle

Intertrip idle time for events that are NOT from extended operation such as sleeper berth idling, but instead are of medium duration such as a lunch break. Intertrip Idle is approximately equal to ENGINE TIME minus DRIVING TIME. These events are longer than allowable warmups and cool downs, but shorter than a specified extended idle threshold. The extended idle threshold should be a typical minimum time expected for true sleeper berth events, e.g., 90 minutes.

Maximum Warmup

The maximum number of minutes that a vehicle should idle after the ignition is turned on before the vehicle begins moving. If the vehicle doesn’t move after the maximum warmup time, intertrip idle time starts accumulating. A typical value is 5 minutes. Set the value higher than the minimum warmup.

Mobile Auto Extract

Sets an internal timer in the mobile units. If the extract request does not reach a mobile unit, the mobile unit automatically sends an extract. Set the MCT Auto Extract longer than the Host Extract Cycle, so that Performance Monitoring controls the extract cycle for most circumstances. The typical value is Host Extract Cycle + 1.

Mobile Display Disable

Prevents the driver from seeing optional installation or troubleshooting pages on the mobile unit, typically not checked.

Minimum disconnect time (main power fault)

The greater of the mobile unit’s measurement of minimum power disconnection time, or the change in the electronic engine’s “engine time” since last power down. The mobile unit measures minimum power disconnection time by comparing the time at power up with the time at last power down, minus wake up interval. This logic is suspended after the mobile unit exceeds its maximum power up time.

RPM Calibration

Set to the number of pulses per engine revolution that the mobile unit receives from its RPM signal source. If the JBus data link is being used (JBus Select = Y), this calibration value is not used. If the mobile unit receives its pulses directly from a sensor in the flywheel, the number of pulses per revolution is equal to the number of teeth on the flywheel. Typical values are 103 or 118. If the mobile unit receives its RPM pulses from the engine control unit accessory output instead of directly from a flywheel sensor, the engine’s output is usually standardized to 12 pulses on US-made vehicles, regardless of the number of teeth on the flywheel. A sensor calibration value would have been entered into the engine control unit already.

Percentage of intertrip idle time for events that are not from extended operation such as sleeper berth idling, but instead are of medium duration such as a lunch break. These events are longer than allowable warmups and cool downs, but shorter than a specified extended idle threshold. The extended idle threshold should be a typical minimum time expected for true sleeper berth events, e.g., 90 minutes. Values for this field do not display for vehicles with OmniTRACS firmware prior to version 14.6.

Short Idle Pct

Percentage of idle time that was short idle.

Short Idle Time

Speed Calibration

The number of pulses per mile or kilometer that the mobile unit receives from its signal source. If the JBus data link is being used for all sensor data, this calibration is not used. If the mobile unit receives pulses directly from a speed sensor at the output shaft of the transmission, the number of pulses per mile is calculated based on SC = ST x R x T:

SC is the speed calibration.
ST is the number of transmission output shaft exciter ring teeth (typically 16).
R is the rear end ratio (example: 3.7).
T is the tire revolutions per mile/kilometer.

If the mobile unit receives speed pulses from the engine control unit accessory output instead of directly from the axle sensor, the engine’s output is usually standardized to 30,000 pulses on U.S. made vehicles, regardless of the formula above. A sensor calibration value would already have been entered into the engine control unit.

Speeding fuel

An estimate of the fuel wasted due to overspeed time and excessive overspeed time, based on estimates of the average miles (kilometers) per hour and time over the overspeed threshold, and the specified difference in fuel economy for each mile (kilomter) per hour over the threshold (on Fuel Efficiency report).

Total Time

Total amount of time, with or without ignition on, that the account was the active account. The total active time for all driver accounts from each vehicle equal total calendar time.

Trip segment count

The number of times that an end of trip segment is determined. This counter is dependent on a specified distance threshold defining the beginning of the trip segment and a specified time threshold defining the end of a trip segment. Turning the ignition off also ends a trip segment.

Vehicle Type

Vehicle type that associates a vehicle with a defined set of parameters. Type Rsv is reserved for system use and is the default that is assigned to new vehicles when you first begin using Performance Monitoring. Create a new vehicle type with your most common parameters and make it the new default type.
