December Updates
New Features:
- Searchable Dropdowns are here, delivering a faster and more intuitive selection experience across the platform. Quickly filter long lists using search and instantly reset selections with the clear option reducing scrolling, saving time, and simplifying everyday workflows.
- Manual Odometer and Engine Hours updates are now available in Vehicle Admin, giving fleet managers greater control over vehicle data accuracy. While these values are automatically calculated for all vehicles, administrators can now calibrate and adjust readings when needed, including backdated updates, to ensure consistent, reliable, and accurate vehicle history.
- All Posted Speed Limit (PSL) data has been migrated to Google, enabling faster and more reliable speed limit detection. This upgrade improves accuracy, reduces missed alerts, and ensures speed limit notifications are delivered more consistently across the platform.
Searchable Dropdowns with Quick-Clear Button
We’re excited to introduce an enhanced dropdown experience across the Azuga Fleet Ops platform, designed to make navigation faster, simpler, and more efficient for users. This improvement helps eliminate friction when working with long lists and improves overall usability.
Where to Find It:
Searchable dropdowns are now available across the platform wherever dropdowns contain large sets of values, providing a smoother and more intuitive selection experience.
Feature Overview:
Dropdown fields across the platform have been enhanced with built-in search and quick-clear functionality, allowing users to easily locate and reset selections without unnecessary scrolling or manual input cleanup.
Key capabilities include:
- Search Bar – Instantly filter dropdown values by typing keywords.
- Quick Clear (✖) Button – Clear entered text in one clicks and reset the dropdown list.
- Improved Selection Experience – Faster access to relevant options, even in long lists.
What’s New:
- Search Enabled Dropdowns: Easily filter large dropdown lists by typing a few characters.
- Quick Clear Functionality: Instantly remove search text and restore the full list with a single click.
- Improved Usability: Reduces scrolling, backspacing, and repetitive interactions.
- Consistent Experience: A unified dropdown behaviour across the platform for faster task completion.
Key Benefits:
- Faster Navigation – Quickly find the right value in large dropdown lists.
- Increased Efficiency – Fewer clicks and less manual effort.
- Cleaner Workflow – Simple, intuitive interactions improve overall productivity.
- Scalable Enhancement – Designed to support complex workflows as the platform grows.
Availability:
- Available to all customers on the Azuga Fleet Ops platform.
- Supported for both Direct and Indirect customers.
Manual Update for Odometer & Engine Hours
We are excited to introduce an enhancement in Vehicle Admin (New) that gives fleet managers greater flexibility and control over vehicle data accuracy.
Odometer readings and Engine Hours are automatically calculated for all vehicles. However, these values may not always be precise without proper vehicle calibration. To ensure accuracy, administrators can now manually update Odometer readings and Engine Hours whenever adjustments are needed.This enhancement helps maintain accurate reporting, preserves consistent vehicle history, and improves overall fleet visibility and reliability.
Feature Overview: Azuga automatically tracks odometer readings and engine hours using ECM data where available. When automatic capture is unavailable, values are estimated using GPS, ignition cycles, and IMU data.
With this enhancement, administrators can manually calibrate these values to reflect preexisting vehicle usage and maintain accurate historical records.
Navigation:
Log in to Azuga Web Fleet and navigate to: Admin → Vehicles → Vehicles (New)
From the ellipsis (⋮) menu for a vehicle:
- Update Odometer
- Update Engine Hours
What’s New:
1. Manual Odometer Update
- Enter a numeric odometer reading (miles).
- Select a backdated date and time.
- System recalculates the current odometer value using existing trip logic.
2. Manual Engine Hours Update
- Enter engine hours as a numeric value.
- Select a past timestamp.
- System automatically adds future runtime to the calibrated baseline.
How It Works:
- By default, odometer and engine hours start at 0.
- Manual calibration sets a new baseline.
- All future distance and runtime calculations are added to this baseline automatically.
Note: If values are not manually updated, the system assumes a starting value of zero regardless of prior vehicle usage.
Key Benefits
- Accurate Vehicle History – Aligns Azuga data with real-world vehicle usage.
- Flexible Calibration – Supports backdated updates for precise correction.
- Consistent Reporting – Reliable data across maintenance, compliance, and analytics.
- Reduced Data Gaps – Eliminates confusion caused by missing or estimated values.
- Better Fleet Visibility – Enables informed maintenance and operational decisions.
Posted Speed Limit (PSL) Migration to Google
All accounts using Posted Speed Limits (PSL) have now been fully migrated from SpeedGauge to Google. This update is live for all existing and new customers who have PSL enabled as part of their SpeedSafe package.
Overview:
Posted Speed Limits (PSL) represent the legal speed limits for each roadway. Azuga determines these limits by using device location data to retrieve accurate PSL information from third-party providers. With this release, PSL data is now fully powered by Google.
Why This Update Matters:
- Aligns PSL with the rest of Azuga’s Google based tracking ecosystem
- Reduces vendor overhead and long-term operational costs
- Improves overall PSL performance with Google’s stronger data infrastructure
Customer Impact and Benefits:
- Faster, more reliable PSL lookups - Delivered through modern, scalable infrastructure for improved performance.
- Improved and modernized email alerts - Fleet admins receive upgraded PSL alerts with clearer formatting and better reliability.
- Fewer missed PSL violation alerts - Enhanced backend logic reduces instances of PSL violations not being captured.
Migration Issues and Resolution Status:
During the migration, a limited number of issues were identified. As of December 4, all major items have been resolved:
- 10 MPH PSL inaccuracies – Resolved
- Incorrect highway PSL values (reported by HTS Texas and others) – Resolved
- Incorrect speed units for Canada-based customers – Resolved
- Missing driver names on PSL alerts – Resolved
Additional validation logic has been implemented to better handle discrepancies from Google data and to further strengthen backend processing.
Accuracy Expectations and Recommended Configuration:
While PSL accuracy is significantly improved, occasional inaccuracies may still occur, as with any PSL provider. For optimal results, ensure the following configurations are in place:
- 1-minute tracking interval – Under Admin > Config > Devices > Add/Edit Configuration
- 30-second high-frequency tracking interval – Under Admin > Config > Devices > Add/Edit Configuration
- Use duration-based alerts instead of instant alerts for more reliable detection - Under Admin > Alerts > Add/Edit Alert
Higher data frequency improves PSL matching accuracy and alert reliability.
Important Note on Alert Volume:
An increase in the number of PSL alerts does not indicate false alerts. With Google-powered PSL, fewer violations are missed, which may naturally result in a higher number of alerts being recorded.
