Live operations

GPS Tracking

Chauffeur telemetry streams to dispatchers and guests during active trips only.

Live GPS chauffeur tracking for guests and dispatchers
Overview

Telemetry layer

Driver devices publish location ticks during en-route and on-trip states — never while off duty.

Dispatchers view fleet positions on a unified map with ETA refinements as traffic changes.

Guests receive signed tracking URLs that expire after trip completion.

  • Active-trip-only sharing
  • ETA recalculation
  • Signed guest links
  • Dispatcher fleet map
How it works

GPS from assignment to drop-off

  • Step 1

    Arm

    GPS publishing starts when chauffeurs accept a job and mark en-route.

  • Step 2

    Stream

    Location batches upload over WebSocket with backoff on poor mobile networks.

  • Step 3

    Retire

    Coordinates purge from guest views after completion per retention policy.

Privacy by design

Location sharing requires an active booking and role permission — no always-on chauffeur surveillance.

Guest tracking URLs are signed, time-boxed, and rate limited.

  • Trip-scoped sharing
  • Expiring tracking tokens
  • GDPR retention windows
  • Chauffeur consent prompts
