Core Workflow

核心工作流程

  1. Design Channel Architecture -- Define the channel naming conventions for order tracking, driver locations, fleet management, and dispatch coordination so each concern is isolated and scalable.
  2. Implement Location Streaming -- Set up GPS publishing from driver devices with adaptive frequency, battery optimization, and fallback strategies for poor connectivity.
  3. Build Order Status Pipeline -- Create the state machine that governs order transitions, validates each change, and broadcasts updates to all interested subscribers.
  4. Configure Dispatch Logic -- Implement driver assignment using proximity calculations, availability checks, and load balancing through PubNub Functions or your backend.
  5. Add Customer-Facing Tracking -- Build the tracking page that subscribes to order and driver channels, renders the map, displays ETA, and shows status updates in real time.
  6. Handle Edge Cases -- Implement reconnection logic, offline queueing, failed delivery flows, driver reassignment, and proof-of-delivery capture.
  1. 设计频道架构——定义订单追踪、司机位置、车队管理和调度协调的频道命名规范,确保每个模块相互独立且可扩展。
  2. 实现位置流传输——从司机设备设置GPS发布功能,包含自适应频率、电池优化和网络连接不佳时的 fallback 策略。
  3. 构建订单状态流程——创建管理订单状态转换的状态机,验证每一次状态变更,并向所有相关订阅者广播更新。
  4. 配置调度逻辑——通过PubNub Functions或您的后端,使用距离计算、可用性检查和负载均衡实现司机分配。
  5. 添加面向客户的追踪功能——构建追踪页面,订阅订单和司机频道,渲染地图、显示ETA并实时展示状态更新。
  6. 处理边缘情况——实现重连逻辑、离线队列、配送失败流程、司机重新分配和配送完成确认捕获。

Key Implementation Requirements

关键实现要求

GPS Location Publishing

GPS位置发布

Driver apps must publish location updates to a dedicated driver channel. Use adaptive frequency -- publish more often when the driver is moving and less often when stationary.
javascript
import PubNub from 'pubnub';

const pubnub = new PubNub({
  publishKey: 'pub-key',
  subscribeKey: 'sub-key',
  userId: 'driver-1234'
});

let lastPublishedLocation = null;

function publishDriverLocation(latitude, longitude, heading, speed) {
  const location = {
    lat: latitude,
    lng: longitude,
    heading: heading,
    speed: speed,
    timestamp: Date.now(),
    driverId: 'driver-1234'
  };

  // Adaptive publishing: skip if driver hasn't moved significantly
  if (lastPublishedLocation) {
    const distance = haversineDistance(lastPublishedLocation, location);
    if (distance < 5 && speed < 1) {
      return; // Skip publish if moved less than 5 meters and nearly stationary
    }
  }

  pubnub.publish({
    channel: 'driver.driver-1234.location',
    message: location
  });

  lastPublishedLocation = location;
}
司机应用必须将位置更新发布到专用的司机频道。使用自适应频率——司机移动时更频繁发布,静止时降低发布频率。
javascript
import PubNub from 'pubnub';

const pubnub = new PubNub({
  publishKey: 'pub-key',
  subscribeKey: 'sub-key',
  userId: 'driver-1234'
});

let lastPublishedLocation = null;

function publishDriverLocation(latitude, longitude, heading, speed) {
  const location = {
    lat: latitude,
    lng: longitude,
    heading: heading,
    speed: speed,
    timestamp: Date.now(),
    driverId: 'driver-1234'
  };

  // Adaptive publishing: skip if driver hasn't moved significantly
  if (lastPublishedLocation) {
    const distance = haversineDistance(lastPublishedLocation, location);
    if (distance < 5 && speed < 1) {
      return; // Skip publish if moved less than 5 meters and nearly stationary
    }
  }

  pubnub.publish({
    channel: 'driver.driver-1234.location',
    message: location
  });

  lastPublishedLocation = location;
}

Order Tracking Channels

订单追踪频道

Each order gets its own channel for status updates. Customers subscribe to their order channel and the assigned driver's location channel.
javascript
function subscribeToOrderTracking(orderId, driverId) {
  pubnub.subscribe({
    channels: [
      `order.${orderId}.status`,
      `driver.${driverId}.location`
    ]
  });

  pubnub.addListener({
    message: (event) => {
      if (event.channel.includes('.status')) {
        updateOrderStatusUI(event.message);
      } else if (event.channel.includes('.location')) {
        updateDriverMarkerOnMap(event.message);
        recalculateETA(event.message);
      }
    }
  });
}
每个订单都有自己的状态更新频道。客户订阅其订单频道和分配的司机位置频道。
javascript
function subscribeToOrderTracking(orderId, driverId) {
  pubnub.subscribe({
    channels: [
      `order.${orderId}.status`,
      `driver.${driverId}.location`
    ]
  });

  pubnub.addListener({
    message: (event) => {
      if (event.channel.includes('.status')) {
        updateOrderStatusUI(event.message);
      } else if (event.channel.includes('.location')) {
        updateDriverMarkerOnMap(event.message);
        recalculateETA(event.message);
      }
    }
  });
}

Status Updates with Validation

带验证的状态更新

Publish order status transitions with metadata. Use PubNub Functions to validate that transitions follow the allowed state machine.
javascript
async function updateOrderStatus(orderId, newStatus, metadata = {}) {
  const statusUpdate = {
    orderId: orderId,
    status: newStatus,
    timestamp: Date.now(),
    ...metadata
  };

  await pubnub.publish({
    channel: `order.${orderId}.status`,
    message: statusUpdate
  });

  // Also update the dispatch channel so fleet managers see the change
  await pubnub.publish({
    channel: 'dispatch.status-updates',
    message: statusUpdate
  });
}

// Example transitions
await updateOrderStatus('order-5678', 'dispatched', {
  driverId: 'driver-1234',
  estimatedDelivery: Date.now() + 25 * 60 * 1000
});
发布包含元数据的订单状态转换。使用PubNub Functions验证转换是否符合允许的状态机规则。
javascript
async function updateOrderStatus(orderId, newStatus, metadata = {}) {
  const statusUpdate = {
    orderId: orderId,
    status: newStatus,
    timestamp: Date.now(),
    ...metadata
  };

  await pubnub.publish({
    channel: `order.${orderId}.status`,
    message: statusUpdate
  });

  // Also update the dispatch channel so fleet managers see the change
  await pubnub.publish({
    channel: 'dispatch.status-updates',
    message: statusUpdate
  });
}

// Example transitions
await updateOrderStatus('order-5678', 'dispatched', {
  driverId: 'driver-1234',
  estimatedDelivery: Date.now() + 25 * 60 * 1000
});

Constraints

约束条件

  • Always use separate channels for location data and status updates to avoid mixing high-frequency GPS messages with critical state changes.
  • Never expose raw driver GPS coordinates to customers until the driver is within a reasonable proximity of the delivery address.
  • Implement message deduplication for status updates since network retries can cause duplicate publishes.
  • Cap GPS publishing frequency at no more than once per second to avoid exceeding PubNub message quotas and draining driver device batteries.
  • Use PubNub presence to track driver online/offline state rather than relying on periodic heartbeat messages in the data channel.
  • Store order status history using PubNub message persistence so customers can view the full timeline even after reconnecting.
  • 始终为位置数据和状态更新使用单独的频道,避免将高频GPS消息与关键状态变更混合。
  • 在司机未到达配送地址的合理范围内时,切勿向客户暴露原始司机GPS坐标。
  • 为状态更新实现消息去重,因为网络重试可能导致重复发布。
  • GPS发布频率上限为每秒一次,避免超出PubNub消息配额并消耗司机设备电池。
  • 使用PubNub Presence追踪司机在线/离线状态,而非依赖数据频道中的定期心跳消息。
  • 使用PubNub消息持久化存储订单状态历史,以便客户重新连接后仍可查看完整时间线。
