Scenic Area / Visitors / Geo-Fence

Scenic Area Personnel Positioning & Geo-Fence Boundary Alerts

MK3 locators plus GWO04 outdoor gateways: draw geo-fences freely on the platform map. When a person crosses the boundary, the platform raises an alert and the locator plays an on-site voice prompt at the same time — the control room sees it and the visitor hears it.

PAIN POINTS

Large open areas, loose boundaries, and people who wander off

Mountains, lakes and woodland overlap. Manual patrols and PA announcements neither watch the boundary nor stop anyone in time.

🏔️

Open boundaries

Undeveloped slopes, cliff edges and closed construction zones rely on signs; crossings go unnoticed.

📵

Unreliable public network

Valleys, dense forest and tunnel mouths often have no 4G, so 4G-only trackers drop their position data.

📢

Alerts never reach the visitor

Control-room findings are relayed over radios, while the visitor hears nothing and the moment for intervention is lost.

👥

Groups scatter easily

Study tours, hiking groups and senior groups are counted by roll call; one missing person means a wide, slow search.

CORE DESIGN

Two hardware items and one platform cover the whole park

MK3 answers "where is the person and can we reach them"; GWO04 handles uplink and downlink; the platform defines the fence and fires the alerts.

Personnel side · Positioning & prompts

🔵 MK3 Locator

Visitors and staff wear an MK3 locator. Outdoors it uses GPS / BeiDou, indoors and at attractions BLE beacons can be added; positions are sent over LoRa.

  • Built-in 1.3 W waterproof speaker with pre-loaded voice prompts, triggered by platform commands (prompt content is not configurable)
  • One-button SOS with position attached to the alert
  • Configurable reporting interval, as fast as 5 seconds; sleeps when stationary
  • IP67 rating for rain, dust and outdoor use
Network side · Uplink & downlink

📡 GWO04 Outdoor Gateway

GWO04 outdoor LoRaWAN gateways on summits, at visitor centres and cable-car stations aggregate all terminal data and deliver voice-prompt commands back down.

  • SX1302 8-channel, industrial components, IP67 aluminium housing
  • Plan roughly 1 km coverage per gateway in open terrain
  • An 8-channel gateway should serve no more than 100 terminals; add gateways to scale
  • No reliance on public cellular coverage — valleys without 4G stay online
💡 Key point: No BLE beacons are required — MK3 satellite positioning plus GWO04 LoRa backhaul already form a complete loop. Add beacons or gateways locally only where canyons or indoor halls need finer accuracy.
ARCHITECTURE

System architecture · a crossing fires two alerts

Uplink: MK3 → LoRa → GWO04 → Platform. Downlink: Platform → GWO04 → MK3 voice prompt.

🖥️ Positioning Platform Map · Geo-fence · Alert centre 1. Draw the geo-fence on the map 🚨 Boundary Alert Pop-up / SMS / duty screen GWO04 Gateway 8 channels · IP67 Ethernet / 4G backhaul 2. Downlink voice command Scenic Area (platform geo-fence) Permitted visitor zone MK3 (inside) MK3 (crossed) 🔊 Voice prompt LoRa uplink: position data LoRa downlink: voice command 3. Boundary breach → platform alert + locator voice prompt, simultaneously
Boundary loop: MK3 reports its position → GWO04 aggregates and uploads → the platform compares against the geo-fence → on a breach the platform raises an alert (pop-up, alert list, SMS / call to duty staff) and sends a voice-prompt command down over LoRa to that MK3, which announces a return-to-safe-area message on site. Control room and visitor respond to the same event at the same time.
DEPLOYMENT

Four steps to deploy

No public network and no large-scale cabling — plan gateway by gateway against coverage and capacity.

🗼

Gateways on high ground

Mount GWO04 at visitor centres, cable-car stations and ridge tops; plan ~1 km coverage radius in open terrain.

🗺️

Draw the fences

Trace polygons for visitor, hazard and construction zones; each can be active only during set time slots.

🎫

Issue locators at entry

Bind MK3 to a visitor or group on issue and collect on exit; staff can wear them permanently in their own group.

🔊

Pre-loaded voice prompts

Voice messages are factory pre-loaded on the MK3 and cannot be configured or customised on the platform. A locator must be inside gateway coverage to receive downlink commands — add gateways or repeaters in blind spots.

DATA FLOW

From boundary breach to intervention in five steps

📍

Position report

MK3 sends GPS / BeiDou positions over LoRa at the configured interval

📡

Gateway aggregation

GWO04 receives and aggregates terminal data, then forwards it to the platform

🚧

Fence evaluation

The platform checks the polygon, time slot and dwell conditions

🚨

Platform alert

Pop-up / sound / SMS to duty staff, with person, time and position logged

🔊

On-site voice

A downlink command reaches that MK3, which tells the visitor to return to the safe zone

HARDWARE

Core hardware · two items form the network

Off-the-shelf MK3 locators and GWO04 gateways, combined without custom development.

PLATFORM

Platform features · geo-fence at the core

🗺️

Freehand geo-fences

Draw polygons or circles for allowed and restricted zones, each active by time slot and personnel group.

🚨

Instant boundary alerts

A crossing fires pop-ups, sounds and SMS / call notifications to duty staff, with automatic logging.

🔊

Locator voice prompts

At the same moment, a LoRa downlink command triggers the MK3's built-in pre-loaded voice message on site. Prompt content is not configurable.

👥

Live positions & group roll call

Every person on one map; count groups quickly and locate anyone who has fallen behind.

📈

Trails & dwell time

Track playback and dwell-time statistics to optimise routes and transport capacity.

🆘

SOS & search support

One-button SOS with position; alert the nearest duty point and narrow the search area from the last fix.

ALERTS

Alert rules and dual-channel handling

Boundary alerts always use both the platform channel and the locator voice channel.

ADVANTAGES

Six advantages

🚧

Boundaries live on the map

Change a polygon instead of moving a single sign — temporary closures take effect immediately.

🔊

Alerts reach the person

Platform alert and locator voice fire together, so visitors hear the warning without human relay.

📡

No public network needed

LoRa private-network backhaul keeps positions flowing in valleys and forests without 4G.

🧩

Minimal hardware

Two standard products, no custom development, short deployment cycle.

📶

Scalable capacity

Parallel gateways and dynamic terminal channels absorb peak-season visitor growth.

🛡️

Private deployment

The platform can run on-premise so visitor location data never leaves the park.

SCENARIOS

Four typical scenic-area scenarios

🏔️

Mountain & canyon parks

Keep visitors out of undeveloped slopes and cliff edges with instant alerts and voice warnings.

🌲

Wetlands & forest parks

Large woodlands with no fixed boundary — fence the trails and count groups as they move.

🎡

Theme parks & large campuses

Zone control by time slot, back-of-house exclusion, track playback and dwell-time analysis.

🎒

Study tours & hiking groups

Bind groups, detect stragglers automatically and narrow search areas with SOS positions.
