Geofencing

Businesses use geofencing to monitor deliveries, restrict access, or automate check-ins. For example, a delivery app might mark a job complete the moment a driver enters a customer’s zone. For personal travel, geofencing can remind users when they approach fuel stops or toll roads.

Geofences rely on GPS data combined with predefined coordinates. They can be circular, polygonal, or even follow specific roads. When paired with real-time weather and traffic data, they become powerful automation tools for routing and safety.

In urban mobility systems, geofencing supports emission control by restricting high-pollution vehicles from certain zones. For emergency response, it ensures vehicles stay within assigned operational areas. These applications highlight how mapping boundaries can create real-world impact.

Ultimately, geofencing connects geography to behavior. It turns space itself into a programmable tool for smarter travel and logistics.
