Drift Detection
Taxi & Private Hire › Products › Transporter › Drift Detection
Generally available
Passive sweep that runs on every transporter location-sync response: for each ARRIVED stop in the active Unit of Work, checks whether the driver has moved away from the stop. If they have, surfaces a suggestion in the driver-app sync response — "did you mean to mark this stop as finished?" — without blocking any transition. Complements the arrival/no-show guards (which DO block); drift detection is informational only.
Settings
How operators configure this feature.
Drivers sometimes mark themselves arrived a little ahead of time — then keep driving the last stretch to the door. That leaves the record saying they're at the pickup when they aren't, which muddies your live board and your timings. Turn this on and the platform quietly watches: if a driver moves well away from a stop they've just marked arrived, it prompts them to set it right. It's a nudge, never a block — the driver stays in control, and a brief stop at a light or a slow crawl in traffic won't trigger it. You set how far counts as "drifted" and how long to wait between nudges. Leave it off and arrivals are taken at face value.
On / off · default false
A driver who marks arrived and then drives off probably wasn't really there. This flags a driver who drifts beyond a set distance from a stop they've arrived at, catching false arrivals before they turn into disputes.
| Setting | Range | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Drift distance (m) How far a driver can move from a stop they have arrived at before it is flagged. | 100–500 | 200 |
| Drift re-alert gap (s) Minimum time between repeated drift alerts for the same driver. | 60–600 | 180 |
| Ignore drift above (km/h) Treat movement faster than this as normal travel, not drift (filters out GPS jumps). | 100–500 | 200 |
