Odometer bands versus pure calendar service
Choosing kilometre bands or calendar intervals for Hong Kong fleets that idle in depots one week and run hard the next.
Pure calendar intervals are easy to print and often wrong for fleets that idle through a slow week, then run hard across the border. Kilometre bands catch duty cycle better — until a sender fails or a vehicle sits with a broken odometer feed.
Hybrid rules that hold up
Many Workspace Horizon interval maps use kilometres as the primary trigger with a calendar ceiling for safety inspections that regulators or insurers expect on a date. The dashboard then shows whichever limit arrives first, with a clear reason code so the bay knows why the unit appeared.
When calendar-only still wins
Hired plant that moves between sites without reliable kilometre capture, or trailers with unreliable hubometers, may stay on calendar until metering improves. Document that choice so a future planner does not “fix” it back into a kilometre rule that cannot be measured.
