Frequently Asked Questions
What is an OBD telematics vehicle alert?
It is a notification triggered when a value read on the vehicle's OBD port or CAN bus (temperature, pressure, voltage, fault code) crosses a threshold. In Dadycar, nearly 40 signals are monitored, each with its severity, its threshold and its recipient.
What is the difference between a telematics alert and an anomaly?
A telematics alert comes from a vehicle sensor (engine warning light, tire pressure, impact). An anomaly comes from a business rule applied to management data (vehicle with no activity for 60 days, contractual mileage exceeded). Dadycar handles them in two separate modules.
What are the DTC codes reported by the device?
DTC codes (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) are the standardized fault codes recorded by the vehicle's control unit. Dadycar reports them as alerts with their severity, which makes it possible to create a work order before the vehicle is taken off the road.
Can tire pressure be monitored across a whole fleet?
Yes, for vehicles fitted with a device or connected through the manufacturer that transmit TPMS data. Dadycar shows pressure and temperature per wheel, with a configurable threshold and an alert to the driver or the manager.
Is an OBD device required to receive alerts?
A GPS/OBD device or a compatible connected OEM vehicle is required for technical signals. Date-based alerts (roadworthiness test, insurance, contract) and management anomalies work with no hardware.
How are alerts routed in Dadycar?
For each signal, the manager chooses the channel: push notification to the driver in Dadycar Go, push to the manager, or email summary. Each alert can be acknowledged and its number of occurrences is kept, to analyze repeat offenders.

How it works
A GPS/OBD device or a connected OEM vehicle: the signals come in with no data entry.
For each signal, choose the severity, the trigger threshold and the channel: driver push, manager push, email summary.
Open alerts appear in the dashboard and on the location map; the manager acknowledges them and the occurrence counter keeps the history. Business rules, for their part, live in anomaly and fraud detection.

Your thresholds, your recipients, from the first week
A 30-minute demo on your own fleet: together we set the five signals that take most of your vehicles off the road, with their thresholds and their recipients.
Your questions before getting started
“Do I need a device?”
A GPS/OBD device or a compatible connected OEM vehicle; with no hardware, only date-based alerts and management anomalies work.
“Will my managers be flooded with alerts?”
No: each signal has its own threshold and channel; minor signals go out in an email summary, critical ones as a push.
“What if my drivers refuse geolocation?”
Technical alerts are about the condition of the vehicle; geofencing time slots separate business use from private use.
