Managing Trip Logs

Trip logs display documented student attendance per route. The logs include system events, usually related to the routes. Storing logs is the feature that allows to consolidate, overview and observe changes with routes.

Tracking is initiated by the logic of the check-in system. A Tracker keeps track of all the passengers who entered the school bus at the beginning of trip and who got off the bus at the end of route.

The trip logs are uploaded to DTTA web panel according to the following logic:

  1. By pressing the Update button in the mobile application (If there is no running route at this time)
  2. When DTTA app was opened
  3. After the route was closed by the tracker at DTTA app

In this section, you can see the list of trip logs that were added manually or imported from the mobile app DTTA. They are sorted in descending order by the date of trip logs creation. On the screen, you can see the following details:
