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 4 October 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 colour the route by a sensor. See View a vehicle's trips, map and activity.
