Geofence Activity Report
A chronological timeline of site activity, showing how vehicles and assets arrive at, operate within, and depart from sites.
Overview
The Geofence Activity Report gives you a clear view of how vehicles interact with your sites.
It shows when a vehicle arrives, how long it stays, when it leaves, and what happens while it's on site. Each visit is shown as a single row, making it easy to review activity across depots, yards, customer sites and other locations.
You can also use the report to understand dwell time, idle time, vehicle speeds and changes in payload while vehicles are on site.
Common uses
The Geofence Activity Report can help you:
- Review vehicle activity at depots, yards and customer sites
- Understand how long vehicles are spending at each site
- Monitor loading and unloading activity
- Identify extended idle or dwell times
- Review vehicle speeds while on site
- Track changes in payload
- Support billing, demurrage, compliance and audit activities
Report options
Before running the report, you can choose which activity you want to include.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Select Period | Choose the date range for the report, including Today, Yesterday, This Week, Last Week, This Month, Last Month or a custom range. |
| Select Geofences | Select one or more geofences (sites) you want to include. |
| Select Vehicles | Select one or more vehicles you want to include. |
Site Activity Summary
The KPI cards at the top of the report give you a quick overview of activity across the selected sites and vehicles.
| KPI | Description |
|---|---|
| Active Vehicles | The number of selected vehicles that visited one of the selected sites during the reporting period, shown against the total selected. For example, 3/5 means 3 of the 5 selected vehicles visited a site. |
| Geofences Active | The number of selected sites that received at least one vehicle visit, shown against the total selected. |
| Total Visits | The total number of visits recorded across the selected sites and vehicles. |
| Total On-Site Idle Duration | The combined amount of time vehicles spent idling while on site. |
| Total On-Site Duration | The combined amount of time vehicles spent inside the selected sites. |
| Max Speed On Site (km/h) | The highest speed recorded by any selected vehicle while inside a selected site. |
Report details
Each row represents one vehicle visit to one geofence.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Vehicle | The vehicle registration or identifier. |
| Primary Label | The value assigned to the vehicle's Primary Label. |
| Entry Time | The date and time the vehicle entered the site. |
| Exit Time | The date and time the vehicle left the site. |
| Geofence | The name of the site the vehicle visited. |
| Entry Location | The location where the vehicle entered the geofence. |
| Exit Location | The location where the vehicle exited the geofence. |
| Entry Speed (km/h) | The vehicle's speed when it entered the site. |
| Exit Speed (km/h) | The vehicle's speed when it left the site. |
| Max Speed on Site (km/h) | The highest speed recorded while the vehicle was inside the site. |
| Total Duration | The total time the vehicle spent inside the site, from entry to exit. |
| Stationary Duration | The total time the vehicle was stationary while inside the site, regardless of whether the ignition was on or off. |
| Parked Duration | The time the vehicle was stationary with the ignition off. |
| Idle Duration | The time the vehicle was stationary with the ignition on. |
| Max Continuous Idle Duration | The longest uninterrupted period the vehicle spent idling during the visit. |
| Entry Gross Weight (kg) | The vehicle's gross weight at or shortly after entering the site. |
| Exit Gross Weight (kg) | The vehicle's gross weight at or shortly before leaving the site. |
| Payload (kg) | The change in gross vehicle weight during the visit. A positive value indicates weight was added, while a negative value indicates weight was removed. |
| Device Type | The telematics device currently fitted to the vehicle, such as TAG3 or TAG5. |
Understanding time on site
The report separates time spent stationary into Idle and Parked time.
- Stationary Duration is all time the vehicle was stationary.
- Idle Duration is time the vehicle was stationary with the ignition on.
- Parked Duration is time the vehicle was stationary with the ignition off.
Stationary Duration = Idle Duration + Parked Duration
This makes it easier to understand whether a vehicle was actively waiting with the engine running or parked with the ignition switched off.
Understanding payload changes
If your vehicles have on-board mass (OBM) sensors, the report can show changes in vehicle weight during a site visit.
For example:
- A positive Payload value means the vehicle gained weight while on site.
- A negative Payload value means the vehicle lost weight while on site.
This can be useful for identifying loading and unloading activity.
The report uses the closest valid weight reading within 10 minutes of the vehicle entering or leaving the site.
For a weight reading to be considered valid, the vehicle must be stationary and all axles must be reporting.
If a valid weight reading isn't available, the weight and Payload fields will be left blank.
Good to know!
Short visits aren't included
Visits of less than 60 seconds are ignored. This helps prevent vehicles that simply drive through a geofence from appearing as site visits.
If a vehicle leaves and then re-enters the same geofence within 5 minutes, both movements are treated as a single visit.
Visits are based on entry time
A visit is assigned to the reporting period based on when the vehicle entered the geofence.
For example, if a vehicle enters a site at 11:55 PM and leaves at 12:30 AM, the entire visit will appear in the report for the period containing the 11:55 PM entry.
Parked time depends on ignition data
Parked Duration relies on the vehicle's ignition status.
If the fitted telematics device does not provide ignition data, Parked Duration may be blank.
Weight data requires OBM
The Entry Gross Weight, Exit Gross Weight and Payload fields require on-board mass (OBM) sensors to be fitted and providing valid data
