Geofence Summary Report

The Geofence Report provides detailed insights into vehicle activity within predefined geographic areas. This report helps fleet managers:

  • Track entries and exits from geofenced zones.
  • Monitor unauthorized or unexpected stops.
  • Evaluate route adherence and optimize routing efficiency.

List Tab#

  • Access a list of all generated Geofence Reports. The list includes:
    • The creation date of each report.
    • The report name (editable during creation).
    • The report type (e.g., Geofence Report).
    • Date range (from/to).
    • The creator's name.
    • Actions: Download as PDF or delete the report.
  • Click on a report to open its preview.

Scheduling a Geofence Summary Report#

  1. After generating a Geofence Summary Report, you can schedule it to run at regular intervals (daily, weekly, or monthly):
    • Scheduled reports are automatically generated and displayed under Reports - Schedules.
  2. To schedule a report:
    • Navigate to the Reports menu and click Create/Schedule.
    • If you haven’t already created a report, follow the steps above to create one.
    • Click Schedule next to Create to open the scheduling window.
    • Fill out the schedule template:
      • Schedule Name: Automatically generated based on the frequency, but you can customize it.
      • Vehicles/Groups: Select vehicles or vehicle groups for the scheduled report.
      • Geofences/Locations: Choose geofences or locations to include in the report.
      • Report Frequency: Select Daily, Weekly, or Monthly (one option at a time).
      • Time of Report Generation: Set the time you want the report to be generated.
      • Reset: Clears all configurations you’ve made.
      • Preview: Allows you to see how the scheduled report will look.
      • Save: Saves the scheduled report and displays it under Reports - Schedules.

How fields in the geofence report are calculated#

The fields in the Geofence Report are generated using data collected from GPS locations, accelerometer readings, and other device events. Below is a breakdown of how each field is calculated:

  1. Total vehicles: Displays the total number of vehicles selected when creating the report.
  2. Total geofences: Shows the total number of geofences selected during report creation.
  3. Geofences interacted with: Shows how many of the selected geofences any of the selected vehicles has interacted with, this is a subset of Total Geofences.
  4. Most time spent in: Identifies the geofence where a vehicle spent the most time. This is calculated by measuring the duration between vehicle enter and exit events for each geofence.
    • Detailed information, such as total time spent, number of entries, and exits, is available in the report fields below.
  5. Total time in geofences: The cumulative time for each selected vehicles spent inside any selected geofence.
  6. Time inside: For each geofence, this field shows the total time a vehicle spent within that geofence. It is calculated as the sum of all durations between entry and exit events.
  7. Enter/Exit: This field counts how many times a vehicle entered and exited a specific geofence. It is determined based on:
    • Entry events: Recorded as vehicle/geofence/*/enter.
    • Exit events: Recorded as vehicle/geofence/*/exit.
    • You can view these events under Device -> Events and apply the relevant filters.
  8. Started: Counts how many times a vehicle started within a specific geofence. This is based on accelerometer data detecting motion events:
    • Filter: vehicle/motion/shaking.
  9. Stopped: Counts how many times a vehicle stopped within a specific geofence. This is also based on accelerometer data:
    • Filter: vehicle/motion/steady.
  10. Idling time: Displays the total time a vehicle spent idling within a geofence. It is calculated as follows:
    • Idling: The engine RPM is between 0 and a predefined idle RPM threshold (configurable per vehicle).
    • Data source: obd.rpm.value.
  11. Driving time: Indicates active driving time within the geofence. This is determined when the engine RPM is higher than the idle threshold.
  12. Parked: Shows the total time a vehicle was parked in a geofence. It is calculated as:
    • Parked time = total time spent in the geofence - (driving time + idling time).
  13. Distance: Displays the total distance driven within a specific geofence. This is calculated using GPS points logged while the vehicle was inside the geofence.
