Vehicle-Driver Mapping System

A web application to manage a fleet of vehicles and drivers efficiently. This system is being developed.

Features Implemented

Level 0: Basic Driver Creation and Vehicle-Driver Assignment

• Driver Creation
  • Users can create and store driver profiles with attributes like name, phone number, and other necessary details.
  • Drivers are searchable by their name and phone number using the UI.
• Vehicle-Driver Assignment
  • Vehicles are pre-populated with stored data.
  • Users can manually assign or unassign drivers to vehicles.
  • A driver can be assigned to only one vehicle at a time.

Tools & Technologies Used

• Frontend: React, Tailwind CSS
• Backend: Node.js, MongoDB
• Other: Axios for API calls

Future Development Plans

Level 1: Time Scheduling and Assignment Conflict Handling

• Implement a scheduling system to assign drivers to vehicles for specific time periods.
• Add logic to prevent overlapping assignments, ensuring a driver isn't mapped to multiple vehicles simultaneously.

Level 2: Driver Assignment Requests and Acceptance

• Introduce a driver-specific page where drivers can view assignment requests.
• Allow drivers to accept or reject requests.
• Ensure that once a request is accepted, it becomes invalid for others.

Level 3: Driver Search and Assignment Based on Location

• Enhance the system to assign drivers based on proximity to a specific location.
• Implement a search feature for finding drivers near a given location during assignment.
• Consider driver availability, location, and scheduling conflicts in the search results.

Current Limitations:

• No real authentication system implemented; a dummy login is used.
• Scheduling & Conflict Handling not yet implemented.
• Driver Requests & Location-Based Features pending future development.

How to Run the Project:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-repo/vehicle-driver-mapping.git
   

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd vehicle-driver-mapping
   

3. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

4. Start the server:

   npm start
   

5. Access the app at http://localhost:3000.

Future Vision: This project aims to become a fully functional and robust system for fleet management, capable of handling real-world challenges like scheduling, conflict resolution, and location-based driver assignment. The modular approach ensures scalability and maintainability as new features are added.
