Binding and Unbinding Passengers

Binding and Unbinding Passengers

Attention
To bind/unbind a passenger, it is necessary to possess the right 'Create, edit, and delete passengers' towards a resource.

Automatic binding is the only way for passengers to be bound to a unit. Automatic identification method requires utilization of the corresponding equipment. Dealing with passenger flow, RFID tags become commonly used. Getting into/out of a vehicle, a passenger brings a RFID tag against a reader.

Automatic binding/unbinding of passengers requires special adjustments to be done in the system as well:

1. Create the passenger type sensor for each unit intended for passengers binding. A parameter for this sensor can be 'avl_driver' or some other depending on your equipment and its configuration.


2. Create automatic binding list. To do so, click 'Auto-binding' icon () and follow the steps described below.

Upon clicking the 'Automatic binding' icon a list of available resources is opened. You should possess at least minimum rights towards a resource creator, otherwise it is impossible to work with resource contents.

Here you choose a resource the passengers of which will be used in automatic binding (with the units chosen in the next dialog). In order to understand which passengers belong to a particular resource, go back to the 'Passengers' panel, and apply a filter by resource (dropdown list to the right of 'Create' button).

After choosing a resource, click 'Next'. If only one resource is available, then it will be chosen automatically.


The next dialog contains a list of units to which passengers from a chosen resource can be bound automatically. Depending on the access rights possessed, the list can be viewed or edited.


Thus, a passenger will be automatically bound to a unit with the help of a RFID tag in case this unit has a special sensor configured in its properties and this unit is indicated in the automatic binding list of a resource to which this passenger belongs.

Automatic binding of passengers is removed in the same way: summon 'Automatic binding' dialog, choose a resource, and uncheck flags of units for which the automatic binding will not be used any longer.
