DISABLING VEHICLES REMOTELY

We added the ability to disable vehicles remotely via a new option on the Admin - Assets overflow menu, Disable Vehicle, so that you can stop assets from being driven. To clarify, disable in this context doesn’t mean to turn off their tracking in iOn; instead, this means that the vehicle will become inoperable, preventing its use. If a vehicle is disabled while it is in motion, it will stop functioning after the ignition is turned off.

In addition, we added a Vehicle Disabled column to the Admin - Assets screen, which will display whether an asset has been disabled. This column isn’t displayed by default but can be added via the column selector.

Currently, only CalAmp users have the role permissions required to remotely disable vehicles, Remote Vehicle Controls and Edit Vehicle Controls Status, but you can have these added for you with a request to CalAmp Support.

Note: Your assets will need a PEG script configuration that turns on remote vehicle disablement in order to use this feature.

IMPROVED PERIODIC EVENTS IN ASSET HISTORY ON THE TRACKING SCREEN

We improved how Periodic events are displayed when you map asset history on the Tracking screen as follows:

• We added a Hide Status Events button above the grid, which, when selected, will hide all Periodic events from the grid result rows (and prevent their icons from appearing on the map path line). You can click Show Status Events to display them again.
• Multiple Periodic events in a row will no longer each be given an icon on the path line.
