Integrating Geofencing Technologies For Enhanced Safety In Challenging Environments

In a recent partnership announcement, Tended, a company focused on creating innovative solutions for worker safety, has teamed up with KeolisAmey Docklands to integrate their geofencing technology into the Docklands Light Railway's (DLR) trackside operations. This collaboration aims to provide an additional layer of protection for workers operating in close proximity to moving trains.

Geofencing technologies create virtual boundaries or "geofences" around specific areas, allowing a worker to concentrate on the task in hand, rather than being distracted by ensuring they maintain positional awareness. The non-safe working zones can be fixed or updated in real-time. The technology can trigger alerts or actions when a person enters or exits a designated non-safe working zone.
