Abstract
Embodiments detect stops by an entity on a pre-planned trip that includes a plurality of stops. For each stop of the plurality of stops, embodiments determine a distance to a nearest stop and generate a geofence for each of the stops, each geofence having a radius having a size based on the distance. Embodiments detect the entity entering one of the geofences and, based on the detecting the entity entering one of the geofences, determine that the entity has stopped at a corresponding stop.
Claims20
A method of detecting stops by an entity on a pre-planned trip comprising a plurality of stops and a planned sequence of the stops, the method comprising:
- for each stop of the plurality of stops, determining a distance to a nearest stop;
- generating a corresponding geofence for each of the stops, each geofence comprising a radius, the generating automatically determining a size of the radius based on the distance to the corresponding nearest stop;
- detecting the entity entering one of the geofences in response to receiving a geo-location message corresponding to the entity indicating a corresponding location and corresponding time for the entity;
- based on the detecting the entity entering one of the geofences, determining that the entity has stopped at a corresponding stop.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the processors to detect stops by an entity on a pre-planned trip comprising a plurality of stops and a planned sequence of the stops, the detecting stops comprising:
- for each stop of the plurality of stops, determining a distance to a nearest stop;
- generating a corresponding geofence for each of the stops, each geofence comprising a radius, the generating automatically determining a size of the radius based on the distance to the corresponding nearest stop;
- detecting the entity entering one of the geofences in response to receiving a geo-location message corresponding to the entity indicating a corresponding location and corresponding time for the entity;
- based on the detecting the entity entering one of the geofences, determining that the entity has stopped at a corresponding stop.
A fleet monitoring system for detecting stops by an entity on a pre-planned trip comprising a plurality of stops and a planned sequence of the stops, the system comprising:
- a sensor message receiving module;
- one or more processors that execute instructions to, in response to receiving sensor messages from the message receiving module:
- for each stop of the plurality of stops, determining a distance to a nearest stop;
- generating a corresponding geofence for each of the stops, each geofence comprising a radius, the generating automatically determining a size of the radius based on the distance to the corresponding nearest stop;
- detecting the entity entering one of the geofences in response to receiving a geo-location message corresponding to the entity indicating a corresponding location and corresponding time for the entity;
- based on the detecting the entity entering one of the geofences, determining that the entity has stopped at a corresponding stop.
