1. Peak Zone Map Overview

The Peak Zone Map provides a real-time visual overview of all active peak pricing areas within the Taxido admin system. Admins can monitor peak zones, surge pricing behavior, and polygon boundaries directly on an interactive map.

2. Map Interface Features

2.1 Zone Boundaries

• Displays polygon shapes representing peak zone coverage areas

• Supports multiple overlapping polygons

• Uses color coding to differentiate:

  • Regular zones

  • Active peak zones (highlighted in orange)

2.2 Surge Pricing Indicators

• When a ride begins inside a peak zone, the system highlights:

  • Surge multiplier

  • Peak zone name

  • Applicable charges

2.3 Real-time Updates

• Peak zone changes appear instantly:

  • Creation

  • Expiration

  • Updates

3. Example – Peak Zone Map Visualization

---

Map Marker Information

• Active peak zones highlighted with orange polygons

• Clicking inside a zone reveals:

  • Surge multiplier

  • Zone details

  • Remaining active duration

• Ride start points show surge amount if applicable

5. Technical Implementation Details

5.1 Key Components

File	Purpose
PeakZoneTrait.php	Contains logic for creation, detection, and validation of peak zones
PeakZone.php	ORM model representing a peak zone
RideRepository.php	Calculates surge pricing when a ride starts
Zone.php	Base zone model including peak surge configuration

---

6. Database Structure

Important Tables & Columns

rides Table

Column	Description
peak_zone_id	Foreign key linking to peak_zones table
peak_zone_charge	Surge amount applied for the specific ride

peak_zones Table

Column	Description
name	Name of the peak zone
polygon_points	JSON polygon coordinates defining the zone

zones Table

Column	Description
peak_price_increase_percentage	Surge multiplier for the zone

Performance Note: Geospatial fields use indexed queries for fast polygon boundary checks.

7. System Monitoring & Maintenance

Monitoring

• Peak zone creation & deletion logs

• Surge earnings tracked separately

• Performance metrics collected continuously

Maintenance

• Automatic removal of expired peak zones

• Routine geospatial index optimization

• Regular validation of configuration values

🔧 Critical Tip: Ensure indexes on geospatial columns remain optimized for best performance.
