Learn about Geofencing and find out how it helps in fleet management.

2. What is Geofencing?
Geofencing is a technology to monitor moving objects like vehicles, people
or containers with the help of GPS technology.
• Based on satellite positioning
and telematics
• Makes use of radio frequency
identification
• Enables remote monitoring of
geographic areas surrounded by
a virtual fence

3. Geofenced Areas
Allows monitoring of mobile objects within a geofenced area:
• Alarms are triggered when
mobile objects enter or exit a
geofenced area
• Area size can vary from a few
meters to several kilometers
• Fencing area can be based on
geometric figures like a square,
rectangle, polygon, etc.

4. Proximity to a Point of Interest
Intended to detect the proximity of a vehicle to a point of interest:
• Point of interest (POI) is
located in the center of a
geofence, in the shape of a
circle
• The length of the radius is the
parameter for proximity
• Simplest method of
geofencing, as it requires
only 2 parameters:
coordinates of center and
value of radius

5. Route Adherence
• Raises alarm when a
deviation occurs
• Gives precise alerts of the
location to the control
center
Monitoring the complete journey of a vehicle from its departure point to its
destination point:
• Makes sure that a fleet or a vehicle does not deviate from its allocated
route

6. Schedule Adherence
This technique is especially designed to enhance route monitoring and
schedule adherence. For example, it is used when there is a preset route for a
trip and it is divided into various stages or checkpoints which require
stoppage time.
This type of geofencing ensures
that the vehicle or the fleet is
adhering to the prescribed
timeslot for each stage.

7. Why is Geofencing Important for Fleet Management?
Geofencing helps in improving the efficiency of the fleet services by
assisting in managing and tracking fleets with a large number of vehicles.
• It can specify whenever and wherever a driver leaves the prescribed route
• Allows fleet managers to set
up a virtual perimeter based
on a geographical area
• Helps in determining the
amount of time any particular
vehicle spends in any given
location

8. Benefits of Geofencing in Fleet Management
When combined with other fleet management tools, geofencing can
improve the safety and efficiency of the fleet.
• Helps in monitoring idle time by drivers; thereby increasing productivity
• Helps in improving safety by
monitoring speed, turns,
break and seat belt issues
• Helps fleet managers to
inform the customer of the
precise location of the fleet
and the exact time of arrival
