Set up a geofence on a location

A geofence is a circle around a location. When a vehicle with a connected board computer or tracker drives into or out of the circle, Transportial can raise an alert. Use geofences for depots, customer sites and parking areas where you want to know when vehicles arrive or leave.

Before you start

• Your platform needs the FMS feature, and your vehicles must send their positions to Transportial (see Board computers).
• The location must exist and have a correct position on the map. See Manage locations.

Create a geofence from a location

1. Open the side menu (☰) and choose Locations.
2. Click the location to open it.
3. Open the Geofences tab.
4. Switch on Act as geofence.
5. Enter the Radius in meters. The default is 500. The map shows the circle as you type.
6. Switch Alert on enter and Alert on exit on or off. Both are on by default.
7. Click Save.

To stop using the geofence, switch off Act as geofence and click Save. The location itself stays.

Manage all geofences in Fleet FMS

The Fleet FMS view on the dashboard has a Geofences tab that lists every geofence with its Name, Radius, Alert on enter and Alert on exit.

1. Open the Fleet FMS view (see Fleet FMS view) and choose the Geofences tab.
2. Click New geofence.
3. In Search a location to fence, type and choose the location.
4. Set the radius and alerts, then click Save.

Use Edit on a row to change a geofence. Use Remove to delete it. The confirmation explains that the location stays and only the zone and its alerts are removed.
