What's New in DriverMate v24

Portrait Mode is now available in DriverMate. This features enables DriverMate to be viewed in portrait orientation without the need for any setting changes. To enable, simply rotate your tablet vertically.

Flex Stop Functionality

The Flex Stop feature adds flex configuration into the current DriverMate configuration to make one configuration for both paratransit and flex. This will allow any DriverMate vehicle to operate a flex run.

This feature is seamlessly integrated into DriverMate and does not interfere with the current workflow of paratransit operaters. Flag stops will remain disabled, meaning only the Auto Arrive/Auto Perform of Nodes and Stops will be enabled. Therefore, the enhancement will only apply when a flex run (for example, nodes and stops) is sent to the DriverMate tablet.

Auto Configuration

The Automated Configuration feature allows administrators to automatically configure DriverMate to their operational needs. There will be no more file management or landing files on devices.

Attention:
This will only work for agencies that have been granted access to the automated configuration servers and given credentials to authenticate.

Portrait Mode

It provides flexibility for users when running DriverMate, where the display can adjust on the fly to the driver's preference.
Note:
Some of the user interface has also been redesigned and enhanced to accommodate for portrait mode.
