Understanding and Resolving Geofence Violations
This pause reason indicates that the vehicle has crossed a defined geofence, resulting in a complete shutdown of the ignition as a safety measure to prevent operation outside the designated area.
Severity
- Medium Severity:
- Navigation paused: Error detected when vOS attempted to process the geofence. Contact support.
- High Severity:
- Ignition turned off: Steward™ crossed the geofence.
Troubleshooting
- Verify the geofence boundaries: Review the defined geofence boundaries in the control system to ensure they are correctly configured and accurately represent the intended safe area.
- Assess the planned path: Examine the autonomous mission to understand why the vehicle moved beyond the geofence. Adjust the path or mission parameters to remain within the boundaries.
- Check GPS accuracy: Significant GPS drift or inaccuracies could lead to the system incorrectly determining that the vehicle has crossed the geofence. Ensure a strong and stable GPS signal.
- Contact support: If you believe the geofence is incorrectly configured, if you are experiencing errors with the geofencing system itself, or if you are unsure why a violation occurred, contact our support team for assistance
