How does Driver Works

Gantz6 years ago

Hi, first of all thanks for all your magnificent work.
i have a doubt regarding drivers, i have created a driver through the web app, then i assign that driver to a device, but that driver id doesnt shows anywere, not in reports, not in positions, how does this works if i just want to get the driver name (or uniqueID) in a report. Thanks.

Does your device report driver id?

Gantz6 years ago

i think it does not, but theres a way in wich i can show the name of the asigned driver just from the database?

No, you can't. You can only use this feature if your device supports it.

ok, thank you very much.

Hello, I allow myself to come in this conversation which dates back 4 years but, I have the same "problem", the ascent of the ibutton does not appear in taccar, is there a place to activate the 'display ? it goes back the information in "more details" but is it possible to have the name of the driver instead of the ibutton number?

Are you saying it shows in "more details"?

Delannoy2 years ago

yes, it can be seen in more detail, but it's the ibutton number that is displayed and not the driver's name, which would be easier

I don't think we map it to driver currently.

Hello, i see similar situation. I have custom device what reports to traccar with OSMAnd protocol. I have info about driver id in tracks. How can i link person with car?
My task is logging car #1 used by driver #1 and driver #2 in specified time.
It's possible to just add attribute like ?id=123456&lat={0}&lon={1}&timestamp={2}&hdop={3}&altitude={4}&speed={5}&driver={6}
and later use this data to understand driver car exchange and mileage?

Related to upper message. I don't familiar with java, but see protocol decoder part on github. It's driverUniqueId as i understand.

Anton does the current version of Traccar modern not link the driverUniqueId to the names saved in Drivers?
because according to Delanoy, only the decimal code appears, without appearing the driver's name as it happened in previous versions of traccar.

Don't remember off the top of my head, but maybe we don't do it yet.

too bad, this feature is crucial, I'll have to go back to the legacy interface then. I'm finding it a bit confusing, a bit strange, because Traccar Modern already has a "Drivers" tab to insert and link the drivers' names to an ID. It would be kind of weird to put that tab, but no use.
