Abstract

Geofencing is a technique that defines virtual boundaries in a specific geographical area. This technique is very useful in navigation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which is called UAV geofencing. In this context, most of the works focus on defining the boundaries of admissible geographical regions, without addressing control issues and boundary handling problems. More precisely, in the presented geofencing systems, once the defined boundaries are violated, the reaction is limited to some predefined alerting actions. From ...
