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.
