Abstract: The disclosure generally pertains to systems and methods to minimize false alerts in a geofence system. In an example embodiment, a controller may receive location information of a vehicle traveling on a road that is substantially aligned with a segment of a geofence. The controller may identify a margin of error present in the location information and redefine the segment of the geofence based on the margin of error. The controller may then detect geofence violations with respect to the redefined segment of the geofence. In another example embodiment, a controller may receive location information of a vehicle. The controller may evaluate the location information and determine that the vehicle is crisscrossing a segment of a geofence while traveling on a road. The controller minimizes nuisance geofence exit alerts by redefining the geofence so as to include a geofence buffer zone that encompasses the crisscrossing travel path of the vehicle.
