Gebietserstellung

Wenn Sie in der Gebietsliste auf den ersten Punkt „Neues Gebiet anlegen“ geklickt haben, wechselt die Darstellung im oberen Bereich der Menüleiste und bietet die Möglichkeit ein Gebiet als Vieleck oder als Korridor entlang einer Route festzulegen.

Vieleck

Sie können oben einen Namen für das Gebiet festlegen und sollten dann zunächst die Karte so bewegen, dass Sie das Gebiet, welches überwacht werden soll möglichst groß und vollständig angezeigt wird.

If you have clicked to "create new area" inside the area list, the view at the top area of the menubar is changed and allows you to define the area as a ploygon, or as a corridor along a route.

Polygon

You must define a area name and after it you should move and scale the map view, to show the whole area to watch.

You must use the "assign alert area" button. After it you see a new yellow toned rectangle area, representing the alert area to watch. If you want to change the form and/or size of the area you can move the vertexes.

In the middle between the vertexes aSie können dann oben links auf die Schaltfläche „Alarmgebiet festlegen“ klicken und sehen auf der Karte einen gelb gefärbten rechteckigen Bereich, der das überwachte Alarmgebiet repräsentiert. Wenn Sie einen der weißen Punkte an den Ecken dieses Rechteckes bewegen, verändern Sie auch dementsprechend die Form des Alarmgebietes.

Immer mittig zwischen zwei dieser Eckpunkte befindet sich ein kleinerer weißer Kreis. Durch ziehen des Zwischenpunktes, wird auch dieser zu einem Eckpunkt.

Somit können sie bis zu 1000 Eckpunkte anlegen und ihr Gebiet sehr komplex strukturiert abgrenzen.

Bitte beachten Sie dabei das Verhältnis aus Gebietsgröße und Ortungsintervall. Für die Servergestützte Überwachung werden nur die GPS Meldungen der Box ausgewertet. Ist das Ortungsintervall so groß, dass das Gebiet zwischen zwei Meldungen befahren und wieder verlassen wurde, erfolgt auch kein Hinweis der Überschreitung! Sie können in diesem Fall allgemein das Ortungsintervall für die betreffenden Fahrzeuge anpassen oder das Gebiet entsprechend vergrößern.

Wenn Sie die Bearbeitung abgeschlossen haben können Sie das Gebiet durch Klick auf den Punkt „Alarmgebiet speichern“ oben links speichern. Zum Abbruch der Erstellung klicken Sie einfach auf den zurück Pfeil oben rechts in der Menüleiste, um wieder zurück zur Startansicht zu gelangen.
