Automatic arrival and geofencing configuration enhancements

January 8, 2025

We have extended our geofencing capabilities around the arrival at stops.

So far admins already had the ability to set an optional maximum_driver_distance_meters on stops when creating bookings, inserting custom stops into bookings or tours, or by updating them. When set a driver is prohibited to mark a stop as arrived when outside of the specified aerial distance from the stop location.

post /api/hailing/bookings

Create a Booking

post /api/hailing/bookings/{booking_id}/stops

Insert custom stop into existing booking

post /api/hailing/tours/{tour_id}/stops

Insert custom stop into existing tour

patch /api/stops/{stop_id}/properties

Update Stop Properties

We have extended these functionalities with additional features:

Automatic arrival at stop

In addition to the maximum_driver_distance_meters we now also allow defining an auto_arrival_distance_meters on the same endpoints. When set the driver app will automatically mark the stop as arrived when the driver enters the given radius from the stop location.

Defaults from booking and tour services

Additionally to the manual passing or setting of these values via the API we now also allow defining defaults for both maximum_driver_distance_meters as well as auto_arrival_distance_meters on the booking and tour services for each stop type.

When configured stops where the corresponding service applies will automatically be created with these defaults applied.
