Route Creation
Overview
Route Creation allows you to define a specific path or corridor that a vehicle is expected to follow. It is commonly used to monitor compliance, improve security, and generate alerts when a vehicle deviates from an approved route.
Routes are especially useful for school transport, deliveries, fuel transport, and staff commutes.
What is a Route?
A Route is a predefined line or path drawn on the map, representing an approved road or travel path. The system continuously checks whether the vehicle remains on or near this path.
Use Cases
Monitor school bus or staff transport routes
Detect route deviation or unauthorised detours
Improve delivery and logistics accountability
Enhance vehicle security and compliance
Analyse route adherence in reports

Route vs Other Zone Types
| Zone Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Location | Single point (e.g. office, gate) |
| Keep In Zone | Ensures vehicle stays within an area |
| No-Go Zone | Restricted area |
| Route | Ensures vehicle follows a defined path |
| Area | Larger geographical region |
| POI | Point of Interest |
| Upload GPX | Import predefined routes |
Best Practices
Follow the actual road path closely when drawing routes
Avoid unnecessary sharp angles
Set realistic deviation thresholds to avoid false alerts
Use clear and descriptive route names (e.g. Morning School Route – Westlands)
