Using GPS to set up Geo-Fencing Zones and Perimeters


February 3, 2010 by John

Geofencing has proven to be an effective solution for increasing employee accountability and productivity. Through the use of GPS tracking systems, business owners now have the ability to set up GPS geo-fence zones and perimeters for its mobile employees to adhere to while in route. Although the process sounds extremely complex, it is relatively simple. Before geo-fencing zones and perimeters can be established, a business owner must possess GPS technologies and geo-tracking systems for its employees which support geo-fencing, such as our vehicle tracking products and RavTrack PC AVL software.

Once the business owner has possession of this technology, he or she must determine the type of GPS geo-fencing that best meets their needs. Three of the most common types of GPS geo-fencing that are utilized by business owners include: security type geo-fencing, timed entrance geo-fencing, and rolling

geo-fencing. Security type geo-fencing will notify managers or business owners if an employee has exited the virtual zones and perimeters that they have established for employees. Timed entrance geo-fencing will notify all users if employees are approaching specified locations and target addresses within his or her established zones and perimeters. Rolling geo-fencing notifies all users if employees have traveled away from his or her established route.

After determining the type of GPS geo-fence that will be utilized by their employees, the business owner must establish the virtual zones and perimetersthat will be adhered to.  In order to complete this process, the zone grid coordinates for each employee need to be entered into the GPS geo-tracking system. Once this process is complete, the business owner will specify whether security type geo-fencing, timed entrance geo-fencing, or rolling geo-fencing should be applied.

Through its RavTrack products, Raveon Technologies offers business owners effective, yet simple GPS geo-fencing solutions. Not only are business owners able to track their employees through tracking GPS location but they can also easily establish alert rules, view alert prompts, and establish zones and perimeters with the click of their mouse. Unlike carrier-based GPS tracking solutions, Raveon Technologies utilizes private radio networks (CSI 1) to transmit GPS location. This allows users to track employees more quickly and frequently, experience the benefits of no monthly fees, and utilize the system in rural areas.

Tracking police squad carsSquad car tracking has proven to be an effective way to reduce crime and improve the safety of those working within law enforcement. Ironically, tracking police squad cars with GPS systems is quite similar to tracking commercial fleet vehicles, asset tracking, and bus tracking. In order for law enforcement agencies to perform squad car tracking, they must first ensure that GPS transponders are installed and working within all squad cars they operate. Once this process is complete, it is recommended that the law enforcement agency purchase GPS tracking systems. Utilizing GPS tracking systems to perform squad car tracking, will allow the law enforcement agency to improve officer and civilian safety, reduce the need for high speed chases, monitor squad car activity, and reduce incidents of lost or missing units.

After law enforcement agencies purchase the necessary GPS tracking systems for tracking their police squad cars, it is necessary to install the transponders into each vehicle. Then, the law enforcement agency will be required to install the necessary GPS tracking software, such as our RavTrack PC. Once this process is complete, the law enforcement agency will be able to effectively perform its vehicle tracking activities.

RavTrack products by Raveon Technologies offer law enforcement agencies affordable and easy-to use-solutions for its squad car tracking needs. Unlike many of its competitors, Raveon Technologies uses private radio networks (CS1) to transmit GPS location. Currently, close to 98 percent of the competitors within the industry use cellular or satellite networks. What this means is that is that there is no monthly usage fees associated with any of the RavTrack products. The use of private radio networks also allows users to track faster and more frequently. Since all RavTrack products do not require an internet connection, they can be used anywhere, including rural areas. This is ideal for all law enforcement agencies and public safety applications.
