Hi

I am trying to create a safety mechanism for rail employees. I have live feed of GPS coordinates of trains( for whole country) and 100 buffers. I need to trigger an alert if any of the GPS point enter into any of these buffer polygon. How I can approach this problem?

Thanks

Saurabh

These buffer location will be at different locations and GPS points will be in thousands. Alerts should be simultaneous else it might be late for the concern person

I'm having a hard time picturing this. Are the buffers moving, or are they in fixed locations? I presume the GPS locations will be updating at a set interval. Once a GPS point intersects a buffer, you want to send an alert that indicates the GPS point ID and the buffer ID. Is that correct?

Yes that's correct. But issue i am facing is that there can be many such intersection happening at the same time and alert has to be send for all such intersections simultaneously.

Thanks
