Map View

Monitor live driver positions, manage last-minute assignments geographically, and respond to the "Signal Lost" alert (FR393).

Overview

The Map View (screen G-03) provides a geographic overview of all active missions and driver positions. It is powered by server-sent events (SSE) that push GPS coordinates from the driver mobile app in real time, so driver markers move as the driver moves — no refresh required.

When to use it: the Map View is most useful for last-minute mission management, handling incidents, and visually identifying the nearest available driver for an urgent request.

Screenshot note: live map tiles and driver position markers are masked in the Playwright harness screenshots to ensure pixel-deterministic testing (FR414). The actual interface shows a full interactive map.


Driver markers

Each online driver appears as a pin on the map. The pin color indicates their current state:

ColorState
GreenAvailable — no active mission
BlueOn a mission
AmberMission ending soon (within 30 minutes)
GreyOffline / not transmitting

Click a driver marker to open a driver detail popover showing:

  • Driver name and photo
  • Current vehicle plate and category
  • Active mission reference (if any) with ETA at destination
  • Available slots — the next window the driver would be free

FR393 — Signal Lost badge

FR393 — Driver Silent Alert applies to drivers who are currently on a mission but whose GPS signal has not been received for a configurable interval (default: 5 minutes).

When the threshold is exceeded:

  1. The driver's marker changes to an amber "Signal Lost" badge on the map.
  2. A notification appears in the operator's alert feed.
  3. The operator can click the badge to open a panel with the last known position, the time since the last signal, and the mission in progress.
  4. From that panel, the operator can tap Alert driver to send an in-app push notification prompting the driver to check their connection.

Signal Lost does not automatically reassign the mission — that decision remains with the operator. If the driver does not recover signal within the secondary threshold (default: 15 minutes), the system escalates the alert to an incident status.


Mission pins

Pickup and drop-off points for active and upcoming missions appear as distinct pin types:

  • Green flag — pickup point
  • Checkered flag — drop-off point
  • Clock pin — upcoming mission (more than 2 hours away)

Click a mission pin to see the mission summary. If the mission is unassigned, an Assign from here button lets you open the assignment wizard pre-filtered to nearby available drivers.


Geographic assignment

The map view integrates directly with the assignment workflow:

  1. Click an unassigned mission pin.
  2. Click Assign from here in the mission popover.
  3. The Direct Assignment wizard opens (screen G-06), with drivers pre-sorted by proximity to the pickup point.
  4. Select a driver and confirm. RSE compliance checks run as usual.

The map also supports a drag-to-assign gesture: drag a mission pin onto a driver marker to initiate the assignment confirmation modal. This is a fast-path for operators comfortable with the geographic view.


Filtering the map

Use the layer controls (top-right) to toggle visibility of:

  • Active missions — show/hide mission pins
  • Available drivers — show/hide green driver markers
  • Offline drivers — show/hide grey markers
  • Signal Lost — highlight only drivers with the Signal Lost badge

The search bar (top-left) accepts driver names or mission references to pan the map to a specific point of interest.
