What are Driver IDs?
Driver IDs (or RFID tags) are used to 'tap on' to a vehicle as a way of logging who was driving the vehicle at any point in time. The driver ID works in conjunction with a tag reader, which will beep when the driver ID has made contact with it, indicating that the current driver has tapped on.

GPS Device required
Before you can get started with Driver IDs, you need to purchase and set up a supported GPS tracking unit.
- If you are new to GPS tracking, we recommend hard-wiring the tag reader to your vehicle.
- If you are already using GPS tracking, we recommend you connect the tag reader to your GPS unit via a USB adaptor.
For either option, please contact our friendly customer service team who will be happy to help.

Set Up Driver IDs
If your company uses this type of system, this can be set up and utilised in GPS using Drivers.
Firstly, you will need to add your Driver IDs:

Assign User to Driver
Next, assign an AroFlo user to the driver you just created.
- Switch to Site Administration
- Click Users

- Click the Feature Access tab
- Scroll down to Select AroPoint Driver and select the applicable driver from the dropdown. The name and RFID will be shown

Multiple users can be linked to a Driver, e.g. a contractor using the same Driver ID as someone else, or a crew using the same Driver ID.
