How can Geofencing make your municipality more sustainable?

Wednesday, August 21, 2024

Do you want to learn more about how you can use geofencing in your city? Then you should explore the insights from the GeoSence initiative! An initiative with focus on user acceptance, stakeholder engagement, policy and regulation, governance, and impact assessment towards implementation of geofencing.

GeoSence has been a collaboration between public authorities and researchers to design, trial, and evaluate new geofence concepts and solutions for specific city use cases, and to propose new ways to deploy geofence applications. This was made possible through tests, demonstrations, and evaluations in the City of Stockholm, the Coty of Gothenburg, and The city of Munich. 

The research conducted covers user acceptance, stakeholder engagement, policy and regulation, governance, and impact assessment. Please visit the GeoSence homepage to watch the results conference, read the GeoSence Strategic Guidelines, and view related films with insights from the involved cities. By exploring these materials, you will gain valuable insights and lessons from GeoSence road authorities on the implementation of Urban Geofencing Solutions. Once you have reviewed this information, you can begin considering the potential for implementing geofencing in your city.
