Abstract: An on-board vehicle control system and method employ a storage device that stores information representing a plurality of boundary points of a boundary that circumscribes an area of interest, and a controller that obtains a vehicle location of a vehicle of interest, determines a first boundary point closest to the vehicle location, and generates data representing a geometric relationship between the first boundary point, the vehicle location and a second boundary point. The controller calculates reference point data representing a reference point based on the data representing the geometric relationship, determines coordinate condition data based on an angle between a predetermined direction and a reference line connecting between the first boundary point and the reference point, and determines whether the vehicle location lies within the area of interest based on a comparison between geographic coordinates of the vehicle location and the coordinate condition data.
