Method and system for container location analysis

A method for location analysis, comprising:

• receiving a location dataset comprising a set of locations in a space, wherein:
• the set of locations comprises a plurality of subsets;
• and
• each subset is associated with a different container of a plurality of containers;
• receiving a set of initial geofences, each initial geofence of the set defining a respective position in the space and a respective shape;
• determining, based on the set of locations, a plurality of candidate geofences, each candidate geofence of the plurality defining a respective position in the space and a respective shape;
• for each initial geofence of the set:
• selecting a neighboring geofence from the set of initial geofences based on a distance L* between the initial geofence and the neighboring geofence;
• selecting, from the plurality of candidate geofences, a respective set of candidate geofences, such that a distance from the initial geofence to each candidate geofence of the respective set is less than a respective threshold distance, wherein the respective threshold distance is determined based on the distance L*;
• determining a respective set of tentative positions, wherein the respective set of tentative positions consists of the respective position of each candidate geofence of the respective set of candidate geofences;
• and
• if the respective set of tentative positions consists of a single tentative position, adding the initial geofence to an eligible subset of geofences;
• based on the respective sets of tentative positions, determining an eligible subset of tentative positions, wherein no tentative position of the eligible subset of tentative positions is included in more than one respective set of tentative positions;
• and
• for each geofence of the eligible subset of geofences, if the respective single tentative position is included in the eligible subset of tentative positions, relocating the geofence position to the respective single tentative position.
