    Events represent system-defined occurrences generated by vehicles, devices, or system logic. Events are used across tracking, alerts, notifications, reports, and analytics to describe what happened, when it happened, and its operational significance.

    Events act as reference definitions that standardize how data is interpreted and presented across the AVL platform.
