Fetch a list of all the nearby vehicles (v2)

Purpose: Use this API to fetch a list of all the vehicles that are nearby to your specified location.

This is the version 2 of the list nearby vehicles endpoint. This endpoint works on the basis of a scoring system. This score is calculated based on 3 parameters.

The 3 scoring parameters are:

1. Vehicle Proximity: As mentioned in the above example, all the vehicles that can arrive quickly to the location within the expected time will be given higher score. For example, if the current time is 7:00 PM, and if you add the expected_timeas 9:00 PM, the vehicle that can arrive fastest within the expected time, will be given preference and will be awarded a higher score.
2. Hours of Service (HOS): The endpoint calculates the Hours of Service of all the drivers who are nearby and can reach fast. The drivers who have a remaining Hours of Service that is within the expected time, will receive additional scoring.
3. Vehicle Direction: The endpoint also observes the direction of the vehicles that are towards the provided destination's latitude and longitude. It assigns higher score to vehicles that are towards the direction of the destination.

If the above requirements match, then a vehicle will receive an incremental score for each parameter. The vehicles that have the highest score, will be shown by the response of the endpoint. All the vehicles are sorted based on the score. The vehicle with the highest score will be on the top of the list, while the vehicle with the lowest score will be at the last.

NOTE

Scores for the vehicles are calculated in decimals from 0.0 to 1.0, where 0.0 (lowest) meaning that non of the parameters were met, and 1.0 (highest), meaning all the parameters were met. In the list, you may have multiple vehicles that have a 1.0 score.
