Abstract
Devices and methods for detecting an end of trip by an asset tracker are described. An end of trip may be detected using a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) module or an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), such as a three-axis accelerometer. In some implementations, the asset tracker uses the IMU for end of trip detection. In other implementations, the asset tracker uses the IMU for impact detection while using the GNSS module for end of trip detection.
