Geofencing – what is it all about?

Geofencing is a feature that uses GPS technology to automatically change the response of a device in a specific area. In the transport sector, geofencing has already found many practical applications.  

Geofencing makes it possible to define virtual zones in a city and program a change in the driving mode of a vehicle in a specific area. For example, a hybrid bus that enters a low-emission zone will automatically switch off its combustion engine and drive exclusively in zero-emission mode. A vehicle near a school will automatically reduce its speed in the area marked on the virtual map. 

This practical transport technology can help reduce the city’s emissions and increase the safety of its inhabitants.
