Con-way Freight needed accurate truck arrival and departure times at freight terminals and customer locations to improve route optimization and customer pricing. Using spatial statistics in ArcGIS Model Builder, historical data is analyzed to create and persist customer geofences to an SDE database. ArcGIS for Windows Mobile synchronizes geofences to a mobile pickup and delivery application where a custom C##/.Net engine analyzes GPS position and generates geofence enter/exit events in real-time.
