models/telemetry

A standard point of vehicle telemetry. References to latitude and longitude imply coordinates encoded in the [WGS 84 (EPSG:4326)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Geodetic_System) standard GPS or GNSS projection expressed as [Decimal Degrees](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_degrees).

Properties

Name Type Description
device_id object A unique device ID in UUID format.
provider_id object A UUID for the Provider, unique within MDS. See MDS [provider list](https://github.com/openmobilityfoundation/mobility-data-specification/blob/main/providers.csv).
data_provider_id object If different than `provider_id`, a UUID for the data solution provider managing the data feed in this endpoint.
telemetry_id object ID used for uniquely-identifying a Telemetry entry.
timestamp object Date/time that event occurred.
trip_ids object
journey_id object
stop_id object Stop that the vehicle is currently located at.
location object Telemetry position data.
location_type string
battery_percent object Percent battery charge of vehicle, expressed between 0 and 100.
fuel_percent object Percent fuel in vehicle, expressed between 0 and 100.
tipped_over boolean If detectable and known, is the device tipped over or not?
