The Data Source Score represents the quality of data inputs used to calculate emissions for assets in a fleet, and recommendations for ways to improve the score to get the most accurate emissions numbers.
What data is used?
In order of quality, the following data sources (if available) are factored to calculate the Data Source Score
For assets with CAN connections and those connected via OEM API feeds, any of the following data inputs are available:
| For assets with 3-wire IoT device installs, any of the following time-series data points are available:
| For all assets, any of the following metadata is available:
|
Where can I view the Data Source Score for each asset?
You can locate the Date Source Score in the Emissions Reporting app:
In the Data Source Score column in the main emissions dashboard
In the Data Source Score column, in report exports
In the Data Scoring tab
What actions can I take to improve the Data Source Score?
Depending on the Data Source Score, you have the option to improve by either providing more asset metadata or by changing the connection type. See the detailed scoring overview below which details actions that can be taken to improve the Data Source Score.
Scoring Overview
Data Source Score | Connection type and time series data | Actions |
Excellent | CAN or OEM API feed, which includes:
| Congratulations! The best possible score has been achieved and no action is required. |
Very High | CAN or OEM API feed, which includes:
| To achieve an Excellent score, change the type of data connection to one reporting:
|
High | Non-CAN:
| To achieve a Very High score, change the type of connection for the asset from Non-CAN to a CAN-enabled connection reporting:
|
Medium | Non-CAN:
| To achieve a High score, change the type of asset connection to one reporting:
|
Low | Non-CAN:
| To achieve a Medium score, improve the asset metadata score by providing:
|
Very Low | Non-CAN:
| To achieve a Low score, improve the asset metadata score by providing:
|
💡 Tip: Filter reports to capture assets missing metadata
Using the fleet emissions tab, each filter dropdown (type, brand, model) can be selected, and if a value is not included then the asset will be labelled as Undefined.
If you filter by Undefined, you will see a list of assets missing metadata. Each asset can be clicked to detail the specification page where you can enter metadata to improve the Data Source Score.
