Geo-COVID: Movement monitoring based on geo-fence framework for COVID-19 pandemic crisis

ABSTRACT

COVID-19 was also known as the novel Coronavirus disease, has spread rapidly around the world to more than 183 countries, making it a global pandemic status declared by the World Health Organization (WHO). Many countries are currently implementing lockdown and Movement Control Order (MCO) to reduce the spread. This paper aims to propose a Geo-fencing framework tailored to the MCO general requirement in monitoring a person’s movement during the lockdown period. The proposed methodology provides analysis that uses geographical boundaries layer within its initial location and the movements. The simulation produces in this research shows the importance of activation of alert based on the GPS information and distance parameters. © 2020, Research Publication. All rights reserved.
