Map - Driver Icon Disappears from Map when Driver Picks Up First Rider

[PamelaJohn]

As a field organizer, I need to be able to discern which volunteer drivers are available to pick up more than one rider.

When a rider registers their need for a ride to the polls, an icon is placed on the map at each rider's location.

Likewise, when volunteer drivers register their availability to take a rider to the polls, an icon is placed on the map at each driver's location. It is conceivable that some drivers will be available to take multiple riders to a polling place (i.e., a bus driver may be able to pick up dozens of riders).

Problem: Driver Icon Disappears from Map when Driver Picks Up First Rider

When Driver A accepts the first rider, the icon for Driver A disappears from the map even if Driver A is available to make multiple pickups at various locations throughout the day while polls are open.

When the icon for Driver A disappears from the map, Driver A appears unavailable to make additional pickups.

This problem results increased telephone calls from field organizers to volunteer drivers who are willing to make multiple pickups throughout the day.

Possible Solutions:

• [ ] When Driver A accepts the first rider, an icon of a different color appears on the map indicating that Driver A is still available to pick up additional riders; or
• [ ] Map is able to track volunteer drivers with geolocation tracking.

@acqsysandrea @PamelaJohn following our meeting, I've thought about some useful comments made by Andrea about this issue.

If it's a case of showing driver offers whether matched or not, and the seats in a given vehicle, this issue requires a lot less work to implement. It might be straightforward to show the seats still available for a vehicle given the current match, or it may just have to be simply the seat count in the ride offer.

I've tested putting a number by the car icon and it works well and looks ok.

Any thoughts on this?

I think that would be a very useful feature. That would be one of the things that we would frequently need to lookup. If we could see if on the picture that would save a lot of time.
