Abstract
Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for route tracking overlapping geofences. A route management system provides for route tracking of overlapping geofences. For example, the route management system tracks the amount of time that a vehicle is within geofence, even when the vehicle has not departed a previous scheduled stop and/or is within multiple overlapping geofences. The route management system determines that the vehicle has arrived at the scheduled stop when the amount of time that the vehicle has been within the geofence encompassing the scheduled stop meets a threshold period of time. As a result, the route management system accurately logs a vehicle as having arrived at multiple scheduled stops that have overlapping geofences.
