How to set up a Geofence

What is geofencing in vehicle tracking?

What is a geofence? A geofence is a virtual zone around a specific location. Much like a fence, a geofence creates a barrier between an identified location and the area around it. Use vehicle geofencing to detect movement within a specified area. 

Outline a perimeter around a location of your choice, such as a customer premises or depot. See when a delivery arrives to support service level agreements. 

A geofence can be any specified size or shape – even simply a distance and route between two points.

Key fobs can be allocated to drivers and registered specifically to them. The fobs connect with a reader which is fitted inside the vehicle.

Once activated, check out information on a driver via reports over a 30-day period. Management will be able to see key metrics on timesheets, individual performance and advise on improvements where necessary.

A geofence is a virtual perimeter for a geographic area.

The use of a geofence is called geofencing. Geofences are used to identify the location of a vehicle or asset when entering or exiting a defined area using a GPS device. A geofence can be any size or shape but they are generally circular or polygon in shape. Co-ordinates using latitude and longitude are entered on a map that plots out the area required, this can even be a straight line between two locations.

The activity of the vehicle or asset entering or exiting a defined geofence boundary can trigger an alert within the telematics system to the device’s user and fleet manager.
