Understand what happened — and who is responsible
Understand what happened — and who is responsible
When an incident occurs, objective information is essential.
The Liability Parameter Group collects vehicle events, driver actions and safety-related information that helps organisations understand the circumstances surrounding an incident.
Rather than relying solely on witness statements or assumptions, fleet operators gain access to harmonised vehicle information that supports objective incident analysis, operational reviews and liability assessments. This Parameter Group is under construction.

Key Parameters
Driver Assistance Systems
Monitor the activation of safety systems that may have influenced an incident.
Typical parameters include:
- Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
- Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
- Collision Detection
- Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) status
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) intervention / VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control)
- ABS activity
- ROP (Roll Over Protection)
Driver Behaviour
Record behaviour that may contribute to increased operational risk.
Typical parameters include:
- Overspeed duration
- Harsh braking events
- Harsh acceleration events
- Excessive cornering
- Cruise control status
- Accelerator pedal position
- Brake pedal activity
Vehicle Status
Capture the operating condition of the vehicle during significant events.
Typical parameters include:
- Vehicle speed
- Vehicle weight (when available)
- Park brake status
- Gear selection
- Retarder activity
- Engine brake activity
- Vehicle movement status
Driver & Compliance
Record driver-related information relevant to operational responsibility.
Typical parameters include:
- Driver card present
- Driving without driver card
- Driver identification available
- Driver working state
- Remaining driving time (when combined with RDT)
Event Context
Provide additional information that helps reconstruct operational events.
Typical parameters include:
- Time since ignition on
- Engine running status
- PTO active
- Trailer connected
- Ambient temperature (when available)
- Odometer
- Trip identification
The complete Parameter Group and parameter definitions are available to Squarell partners.
Business Value
The Liability Parameter Group helps organisations to:
- support objective incident investigations
- improve driver accountability
- reduce insurance disputes
- identify recurring operational risks
- improve fleet safety
- document critical events
- support internal investigations
- reduce administrative effort
Why Squarell?
Unlike isolated vehicle events, Squarell combines safety systems, driver actions and vehicle status into one harmonised Parameter Group.
Because the information is standardised across different vehicle manufacturers, fleet applications can analyse incidents using one consistent interface instead of interpreting proprietary OEM messages.
This enables faster software development, simpler fleet integration and more reliable event analysis across mixed fleets.
