Learning common routes and automatic geofencing in fleet management

A system for providing a geo-fence, the system comprising one or more mobile devices, a user interface and a data processing system, wherein the data processing system further comprises:

• a learning database, wherein the learning database collects and stores route information for the one or more mobile device;
• and
• an analytics engine, wherein the analytics engine
• analyzes the route information of the one or more mobile devices to determine optimum route, and
• creates the geofence around a route to be monitored based on the route information for the optimum route,
• wherein creating the geo-fence around a route to be monitored comprises:
• choosing a set of points along the route to be monitored;
• sampling at least two points from the set of points to form a parameterized curve;
• calculating parameterized points along the parameterized curve to act as anchor points for perpendiculars along the curve;
• calculating two points along each perpendicular at a predetermined distance from the route on either direction;
• and
• joining end points of the perpendiculars to form a polygon to create the geo-fence for the route to be monitored.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having executable instructions stored therein that, when executed, cause one or more processors corresponding to a system for providing a geo-fence, the system comprising on or more mobile devices, a user interface and a data processing system including a learning database and an analytics engine, to perform operations comprising:

• collecting and storing route information for one or more mobile devices by the learning database;
• analyzing the route information for the one or more mobile devices to determine optimum route, and
• creating the geo-fence around a route to be monitored based on the route information for the optimum route by the analytics engine, wherein creating the geo-fence around a route to be monitored comprises:
• choosing a set of points along the route to be monitored;
• sampling at least two points from the set of points to form a parameterized curve;
• calculating parameterized points along the parameterized curve to act as anchor points for perpendiculars along the curve;
• calculating two points along each perpendicular at a predetermined distance from the route on either direction;
• and
• joining end points of the perpendiculars to form a polygon to create the automatic geo-fence for the route to be monitored.
