accessing a route tracking report associated with a vehicle along a first route, the first route including a first scheduled stop encompassed by a first geofence and a second scheduled stop encompassed by a second geofence, the first geofence and the second geofence overlapping with each other at a region along the first route,
based on a determination that the vehicle has been within the first geofence for a first threshold period of time, updating the route tracking report to indicate that the vehicle has arrived at the first scheduled stop;
determining that the vehicle has entered the region where the second geofence overlaps with the first geofence;
