Geo-Fences

[vitalidze]

This feature has been requested many times. So I started developing it. Here is how I am going to create first version of this functionality:

1. Add tab panel at the bottom of devices/vehicles list. First (default) tab is 'Devices' with current table, second will be 'Geo-fences' with list of geofences. Top buttons 'Add/Edit/Delete...' are applied to the objects selected in current active tab.

When geo-fence is selected in list map will scroll to make it visible (like it's working now for devices/vehicles).

2. There will be three types of geofences:

• line (with width in meters)
• circle (with radius in meters)
• polygon

Each geofence will have name, which will be shown on map. Then it will have a description and color.

3. Geo-fences will be shown on a separate layer in map.

4. Each device may be assigned one or multiple geo-fences. Then when it enters/exits geo-fence an event will be recorded and notification sent.

This is it. Once it's all done I will put it into latest release.

Yes !

Just discovered your website
When I first used tracer back in September there was no hope for geofence etc
I have no skills to write something like this so I have just started switching from Traccar to OpenGTS just for geofences.
Having geofences would be a very important feature !
OpenGTS is easier to edit with nicely commented setting entries , separate config files, I18n etc etc, but it's frontend is confusing for users. Ideas like no map on login and all menus created for vehicles in mind
To make it usable for my needs it would require a lot of work to adapt it.
I would choose traccar if it has geofence with email notification.

It's perfect to have interface to manage Geo-Fences.

But I think better place for events and notifications on the server side.
Have you thought about moving this functionality to the server side?

I thought about it. For now it's easier to manage this on web UI side. I don't interfere with traccar backend development and there are no active development in original traccar-web project too, which makes it easier to support for me. Then to install my modified version it requires only updating single .war file.

I want to wait until it is developed by Anton Tananaev on backend side (since from my understanding he is planning to have a single project) and then will update my code accordingly.
