Geofencing with Plotly

Now that we have covered all of the components of geofencing, we can perform geofencing concepts in practice using our trajectory data. We will utilize the Plotly visualization library to animate trajectories and visualize our geofencing application. We will bring three polygons that denote different use cases: an airport, beach, and city center.

Masking

First, we need to create a mask where we store whether a certain point is inside the geofence or not. We first read the geofence_polygons from the dataset provided with Notebook. Upload it first in Google Colab:

geofence_polygons = gpd.read_file('geofence_polygons.gpkg')
geofence_polygons

Geofence polygons

Let's plot and overlay geofence_polygons...
