Tracking Outside Working Hours

Where almost every enforcement case in this field has landed. Why continuous tracking of a take-home vehicle is the default failure.

Analysis

Tracking someone without telling them. The narrow circumstances in which it is contemplated at all, and why it is almost never the answer.

Reference

How long someone spent at each stop looks like a productivity measure. What it actually contains, and what happens when people are ranked by it.

Analysis

Telematics scoring has a genuine safety case and a well-documented failure mode. How to get the first without the second.

Analysis

Location data collected for dispatch will be requested for other things. What to decide in advance, and what happens the first time it is tested.

Procedure

Refusing badly loses the argument and the relationship. Naming the reason that lands, answering the real concern, and recording the decision.

Procedure

Forward-facing and driver-facing cameras are different propositions with different justifications, and products bundle them.

Analysis

The features that most change how a deployment is received, most of which are absent from most products.

Reference

Location systems depend on people leaving the devices alone. What that cooperation is worth, and how it is spent.
