This endpoint enables fleets to programmatically assign a driver to unidentified driving periods (UDEs: Unidentified Driver Events, DPEs: Driver Pending Events) within Motive, streamlining integrations with third-party driver-vehicle assignment systems and improving data quality for compliance and safety analytics.

📘

NOTE

This endpoint only allows you to assign exempt drivers, and is mostly for fleets that do not use Motive for logging the Hours of Service (HOS).

Endpoint

• Method: PUT
• URL: https://api.gomotive.com/v1/driving_periods/{driving_period_id}?driver_id={driver_id}
• Purpose: A driving period is classified as "unidentified" when the Vehicle Gateway records vehicle movement but no driver is logged in or associated with that event. This usually happens when a driver starts driving without connecting the Motive Driver App to the Vehicle Gateway.
  To mitigate such unidentified driving periods, you can use this endpoint that allows you to assign a driver to such unidentified events.
