View and compare sensor data
See temperature, weight, speed and other sensor readings as charts, export them to CSV and compare up to six sensors.
Updated October 4, 2026
Sensors measure things like temperature, weight, speed, pressure, humidity or voltage on a vehicle or trailer. They are created automatically by your board computer integration, which also sends the readings. You cannot create sensors by hand.
Find a sensor
- Open the side menu (☰) and choose Sensors.
- Use the search field, or filter on Sensor type or creation date.
- Check the Last reading column for the most recent value.
- Click a sensor to open it.
Read the chart
A sensor opens on the Data tab with a chart. Use these controls:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Range | The start and end of the period. |
| Resolution | Automatic, or one point per minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, hour, 6 hours, day or week. |
| Aggregation | Average, Minimum, Maximum or Number of readings per point. |
| Chart type | Line, Area or Bars. |
| Show min/max | Draws the spread around the line. |
Click Export CSV to download the readings shown.
For long periods Transportial may use a wider interval or shorten the period to keep the chart readable. A message above the chart tells you when this happens.
Compare sensors
- In the sensor list, click Compare sensors.
- Search for and tick the sensors you want, up to six.
- Set the period. The readings are drawn in one chart.
Rename a sensor
- Open the sensor.
- Click the pencil icon (✎).
- Change the Name or Placement, for example "Rear compartment".
- Click Save.
The type and identifiers are managed by the integration and cannot be changed here. The Properties tab shows them.
Sensors on a vehicle
With the FMS feature, a vehicle's Sensors tab shows all its sensors together, and the Map tab can color the route by a sensor. See View a vehicle's trips, map and activity.
