Shuttle Planning & Driver Management

Everything you need to manage your fleet, drivers, and daily planning

Written by Jorick Ritsema

Overview

ShuttleSub’s Planning system connects three powerful components:

  • Shuttle Fleet (vehicles & documents)

  • Driver Management (users & approvals)

  • Planning Board (daily operations)

Together, they ensure that only approved drivers with valid licenses can be assigned to active shuttles.

How it works (at a glance)

  1. Vehicles are created in Shuttle Fleet

  2. Users request or receive driver access

  3. Admin approves driver + license

  4. Planning becomes available for assignment

Step 1: Set up your Shuttle Fleet

Before planning, your vehicles must be registered.

Go to:
​Settings → Shuttle Fleet

Each shuttle can include:

  • License plate

  • Brand, model, and year

  • Status (Active / Out of service)

  • Maintenance planning

  • Documents (insurance, damage reports, etc.)


Step 2: Enable Drivers

Not every user can drive. Drivers must be explicitly enabled.

Requirements for a driver:

  • Assigned user account

  • Driving license uploaded

  • Driver role (or higher) enabled

  • Approved by hotel admin

Driver activation flow:

  1. User uploads their driving license

  2. Status becomes: Pending approval

  3. Stripe (external partner) reviews the license

  4. Stripe approves → user becomes Active driver

A hotel admin can bypass the Stripe approval. In Users → Edit User the hotel admin can enable both options: 'User has a valid driving license' & 'User can be assigned in shuttle planning' to make the driver available for planning.

Only approved drivers can be selected in planning


Step 3: Admin Approval

Hotel administrators are responsible for:

  • Verifying driving licenses

  • Ensuring compliance

  • Activating driver permissions

Approval checklist:

  • License is clearly visible

  • License is valid (not expired)

  • Correct user assigned

Once approved:

  • The driver becomes selectable in planning

  • The system automatically allows assignment


Step 4: Create a Planning

Go to:
​Planning → Shuttle Planning

Here you can:

  • Assign a driver to a shuttle

  • Select date & time

  • Manage availability

  • View all planned rides


Real-time Status Awareness

Planning is always synced with:

  • Shuttle availability

  • Driver approval status

  • Fleet maintenance status

If something changes (e.g. shuttle goes out of service), it directly affects planning.
