This release note describes fixes for EROAD Drive Microservices Version 24.9.

The following enhancements were completed for this release.

We developed a new 70/7 ruleset for the Alberta Province in Canada. In Drive, the ruleset displays as "AB Provincial 70 Hours/7 Days".

This ruleset does not support shift deferrals and driving breaks after 4 or 6 continuous driving periods. Although Alberta does not enforce a cycle, the cycle limits are aligned with Canada Federal rules south of the 60° latitude.

We developed an account-level setting so that customers can limit vehicle, trailer, and dolly selection to those in the driver's terminal. After enabling this setting, drivers see only vehicles and equipment assigned to their terminal or unassigned.

The following issues were fixed for this release.

Fixed a policy bug where soft-deleted policies were incorrectly returned. The endpoint now respects the isDeleted flag, ensuring only active policies are retrieved.

Previously, routes were incorrectly attached to a driver’s vehicle during sign-out and shutdown. This was fixed so that for driver sign-in or vehicle change, a clean-up task ensures that the previous routes are correctly detached, preventing unintended route assignments to other drivers using the same vehicle.

Previously, Drive would send route assignment changes after routes were completed. We updated the route assignment logic to process re-assignments only after a driver logs in or changes vehicles. Now, routes remain assigned until a driver selects a new vehicle or another driver claims the previous vehicle. This fix improves assignment stability without functionality impact for Route Manager users.
