Fleet Geofence Tracker

🌍 Overview

This is a real-time fleet tracking and geofencing system built with PHP, Firebase, MySQL, and Google Maps. The system allows administrators to monitor hundreds of trucks simultaneously, view truck details, draw and manage geofences, and log vehicle entries into those geofenced zones.

📦 Features

• 🔴 Live Tracking: Real-time truck locations updated automatically on Google Maps
• 📌 Geofence Drawing Tool: Draw circular or polygonal geofences using a simple UI
• 🧭 Geofence Entry Logging: Automatically logs when a vehicle enters a geofence, with timestamp, geofence name, and truck ID
• 📋 Truck Info Dashboard: Lists all registered trucks with their latest GPS and status info
• 📍 Geofence Viewer: View all saved geofences on a map
• 🔄 Data Sources: Supports GPS data collection from IoT devices or smartphone apps
• 💾 Database: Uses Firebase for real-time updates and MySQL for persistent logging

🔄 GPS Data Collection

Supports two modes:

1. IoT GPS Devices sending live GPS data
2. Smartphones with location tracking apps running in the background

➕ Data is stored into:

• Firebase: For real-time syncing and monitoring
• MySQL: For long-term historical analysis and reporting

🗺️ How it Works

1. Drivers or IoT devices send GPS coordinates to Firebase
2. index.php fetches live data from Firebase and displays all trucks
3. Admins draw geofences using map_form.php and save them to the DB
4. showPoly.php renders all saved geofences on a map
5. track.php shows each truck's live location on a separate map
6. When a truck enters a geofence, vehicles.php logs it with:
   • 📌 Truck name, registration ID
   • 🧭 Geofence name
   • 📅 Date & Time

🚀 Setup Instructions

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/fleet-geofence-tracker.git
cd fleet-geofence-tracker

2. Add your Firebase URL to firebaseRDB.php:

$firebase = new firebaseRDB("https://your-project.firebaseio.com/");

3. Configure your Google Maps API key in relevant files (e.g., live_location_of_trucks.php, map_form.php)

4. Deploy on your local server or live server with PHP 7+
