Visibility Hub tracks transports by using the transport information (loading/unloading locations and timeslots) and the GPS updates of the allocated vehicle.

It is quite common that 2 or more full truckload transports having the same loading locations and overlapping loading timeslots are being allocated to the same vehicle.

Tracking of a transport is started once the vehicle arrives at the loading location at the right time i.e. within the timeslot provided with the transport information. If there are 2 or more transports supposed to be loaded in the same location at the same time, Visibility Hub needs to decide which of the transports to track first.

Transports allocated to the same vehicle are ordered by the loading timeslot start (earliest first) and tracking is started by that order. Next transports in the order will stay waiting for the vehicle to return to the loading location after the first transport has been completed.

Let's look at an example, with three transports allocated to the same vehicle as follows:

As these transports have the same loading location and overlapping timeslots, Visibility Hub tracking engine is ordering these transports by the loading timeslot start time:

Tracking is started based on that order, so transport B is tracked first, transport C as second and transport A as third.
