INFO REQUEST In my role with the Smart Cities Team we're seeking to identify potential geofencing solutions that can be fitted onto council equipment (eg ride on mowers and other vehicles) that would alert the driver if they are close to or within a critical risk location and need to reduce speed and/or move away, thereby mitigating risks. I'm interested in hearing from: 1- Any vendors who supply this solution in Australia. 2- Local government colleagues who are using this solution. How does it work? Where have you deployed it?  Can it be retrofitted to existing GPS systems? Could council access the software to deploy it in multiple locations? Indicative costs? Please note this is not a procurement process. We are undertaking early stage research of existing solutions and make no commitment to any vendor or solution(s).   Feel free to PM me with relevant information. #SmartCities #Geofencing
