    - Localization triggers
      There are different triggers to let a tracker capture a location: motion-based, periodic, scheduled, context or relocation-based.
      - Motion based triggers
        Use of motion detection to initiate a sequence of actions, such as location capture.
      - Periodic triggers
        Use of fixed time intervals to initiate a sequence of actions, such as location capture.
      - Scheduled triggers
        Use of a time schedule to initiate a sequence of actions, such as location capture.
      - Context based triggers
        Use of context information to initiate a sequence of actions, such as location capture.
      - Relocation based triggers
        Use of the relocation algorithm to initiate a sequence of actions, such as location capture.
      - Turn by turn triggers
        Use of distance, speed or heading towards changes to initiate a sequence of actions, such as location capture. Known under the name of turn-by-turn algorithm.

Localization triggers

There are different triggers to let a tracker capture a location: motion-based, periodic, scheduled, context or relocation-based.

Localization triggers

Next to understanding the various technologies to capture locations, it is also relevant to understand when the tracker decides to capture a location. In

Sensolus solutions may use the following triggers to initiate a location capture.

Motion: Every time an asset starts and stops moving, a location update is sent.
Periodic: Location updates are sent at a fixed time interval. (Example: every 3 hours)
Scheduled: Location updates are sent following a configured schedule. (Example: every day at 8 AM)
Context-based: Every time a change in context happens, a location update is sent. (Example: an asset has been tilted)
Turn-by-turn: Every time a distance, speed or heading changes or after a certain delay.
Relocation based: Every time an asset has moved more than xx meter and speed exceeded yy km/h. (Example: moved > 2000 meter and speed > 40 km/h)
