Using the Route Planning Modal

  1. Enter Home Address:

    • Input Address: Type the participant’s home address in the 'Home Address' field. As you type, autocomplete suggestions will help you quickly find the correct address.

  2. Select Commute Route:

    • Available Routes: Once the address is input, the modal will display possible routes and their respective distances calculated by car and train. Routes that involve transfers will be distinctly marked.

    • Choose Transportation Mode: Select the most appropriate route based on the transportation mode—such as car or train—including routes with transfers if necessary.

  3. Saving the Route Information

    • Confirm Selection: After selecting the desired route and transportation mode, ensure all information is correct.

    • Save Changes: Click the Save button to confirm the settings. This will update the project participant's commute details in the system.

 

Privacy Assurance: The address entered is not stored, logged, monitored, or sent to the backend. It is solely used to calculate the commuting distance.

Best Practices

  • Verify Address Accuracy: Ensure the accuracy of the address entered to receive the most accurate route calculations.

  • Consider Multiple Routes: Review all possible routes and modes of transportation to select the most efficient or environmentally friendly option.

  • Regular Updates: Update commute details regularly to reflect any changes in the participant's address or commuting preferences.

Troubleshooting

  • No Routes Found: If no routes are available, check the accuracy of the address entered. Consider entering a nearby landmark or adjusting the address.

  • Modal Not Responding: If the modal is not responding, refresh the page and try again. If issues persist, ensure your browser is compatible and that JavaScript is enabled.
