Project Description:
********************
In today’s episode, you will learn how to define a geographical zone to track if your car is leaving or entering that zone using Geofencing technology. With Geofencing the system uses the GPS signals from the tracking device to pinpoint the location and marks the limits of an area. This ‘area’ is the Geofence.

A Geofence is a virtual fence or an imaginary border drawn around a point by a GPS tracking system. Once a Geofence is created, it can be used as a trigger for alerts and events. For example, your tracker system can tell you whenever one of your vehicles enters or leaves the area. A geofence can be of any size or shape, it can be a straight line, a rectangle, a square, a circle, or an irregular shape.

A circular type Geofence is very easy to implement, we simply define the center of the circle with the initial Latitude and longitude values and then we compare these latitude and longitude values with the Latitude and longitude values of the GPS module fixed inside a car. We calculate the distance between any two GPS co-ordinates using the Haversine Formula.

The calculated distance is then compared with the pre-defined distance value. So, if the calculated distance is greater than the pre-defined distance then it means the Car or any other object has moved outside the Geofence. Now, it depends on you, what activity do you want the Controller board to perform, you want to stop the car? Or do you want to send an Alert message? Or do you want to activate the Buzzer? It totally depends on you, what activity you want to perform when the car leaves the Geofence. In my case, I will use the SMS alert along with Google’s map GPS coordinates. So, this was a brief introduction about, what is a Geofence? And how I am going to implement this technology.

Due to the ongoing construction in my home, for the next few days, I will be parking my car over here. This location is about half a kilometer away from my house, this area is quite secured but still, I want my car to be under my observation. I have already designed an anti-theft system for my car which is currently installed, I have a very detailed video on this. I will provide a link in the description if you want to make a smartphone-controlled Car automation and Anti-theft system.

Anyways, to create a Geofence for my car, I am going to use Arduino Nano, Neo 6M GPS Module, and the SIM900A GSM module. Before I am going to explain the circuit diagram and programming, first let’s watch the Geofence technology in action.

Amazing ! I might try this in combination with my robot lawn mower. In case of someone would get over interested in it !

[vladimirfilipovic]

Great project and beautifully explained. Thank you. Would love to see adding few cutoff relay modules, an PIR sensor for presence in the car, on voltage change event (for car ignition), setting parameters and controlling everything via sms messages, ..Continue the great work!

[nononofk]

I appreciate how you explained geofencing from real, simple concept to more technical discussion; it's very effective. I have a question though. In your case, you have defined one geofence. Is it possible that I define two or more geofences then I can track if the car arrives to/departs from there?

[Gichuhi_Ernest]

Hi, I am new to this field and this demo is so wow, Quick question though, can you please elaborate the specific components I will need to have and the how to connect them, all ends, especially for ground.

[heyitstech]

I'm also going to try this projects in my class.

[masoudjafarzadeh]

In this project my arduino can not conect to sim800
Why?
Is conflict bud rate betwen gps and gsm

[latestmovie-buxm]

@ElectroniClinic please upload pcb desing which you use to join all components

[balajzubairbajwa]

What should i learn to be able to create these kind of amazing Products
Btw amazing Video Bro
@Electronics clinic

[randomshtsifoundoninternet]

I did all the code and the wirings and it doesn't text when i reached the max distance, please help me it's for my final project. Tell me what's wrong or any tips?

[ProPro-limz]

If we create 3 areas with 3 geofence( 3 circles) and a car move along it how can we find that vehicle is in which circle or geofence is it possible ?

[heilmannsvej]

HEY i am new with arduino. could you help me out with my boat alarm projekt ? with my skills now its to big. I need geo fence, room sensor. water sensor, battery sensor, door sensor. and on/off out to the heater system.

[torivicz]

Im wondering if this is possible with sim800L?

[CarlsuuuDesuu]

what map app did you use to create geofence sirr?

[hat_guy]

can you do this geo fence using the a9g module??

[ProPro-limz]

How can we create a road geofence(ie. Any specific root between places)

[souk-tv]

What's the maximum range of lora point to point?

[junaidali]

How can i find my theft car? please help. No tracker in the car

[myzdmymn]

I tried this project but the receiver do not show the longitude

[sologrind]

Hi! I loved your video! I'm new to this field so can I ask something? Is it possible to attach a keypad here and an LCD display where so I can input the latitude and longitude on it and its maxDistance so that I don't have to go to the arduino IDE back to back? I would really appreciate if you respond to this :)
