Abstract
A method and a system are provided for the automatic monitoring of the position of an object, such as a vehicle or other mobile equipment, including, for example, an implement or tool or of construction material and works-related material. The method includes a series of steps carried out iteratively. The steps include detecting a current position of an object to be monitored; determining a spatial distance of the detected current position from a position previously specified as a central position; checking whether the spatial distance which has been determined exceeds a predetermined distance threshold, and if this is the case, triggering a predefined functionality of the object and/or of the position monitoring system and specifying the detected current position as a central position for a subsequent iteration.
