When a vehicle’s engine is on but the vehicle is not moving, Samsara identifies this activity as idling. To help you reduce fuel spend related to idling, you can monitor idling events from the Idling Report on the Samsara dashboard.
There are two ways to access this report:
-
Drill down from the Fuel & Energy Report by clicking the Idle Time field within the Vehicle tab.
-
Access the Idling Report from Reports > Fuel & Energy.
By default, the report displays all idle events that occurred that day; However, you can use the date selector to select an alternate date or date range. To further narrow the results scope, you can filter vehicles by Tags or use the Search.
The following table describes the information available for each idle event:
|
Field |
Description |
