Generating a user profile in mvc5

In my app I have a driver users and a customer users(rider), I am trying to create a profile for each one of them. and in my driver model I have the following:

public class DriversModel
{
[Display(Name ="Id")]
public int driverId { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "First Name")]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Pleas Enter Your First Name")]
public string firstName { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Last Name")]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Pleas Enter Your Last Name")]
public string lastName { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Email Address")]
[DataType(DataType.EmailAddress)]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Pleas Enter Your Email Address")]
[RegularExpression(".+\\@.+\\..+", ErrorMessage = "Please Enater a Valid Email Address")]
public string email { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Mobile Number")]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Pleas Enter Your Mobile Number")]
public string phoneNumber { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Address")]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Pleas Enter Your Address")]
public string Address { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "City")]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Pleas Enter Your City")]
public string city { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "State")]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Pleas Enter Your state")]
public string state { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Car")]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please Identify Your Car")]
public string car { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Driver's License")]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please Enter Your Driver's Licende Number")]
public string driverslicense { get; set; }
[Display(Name ="Profile Image")]
[Required]
public byte[] profileImg { get; set; }
public string profileImgType { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "License Image")]
[Required]
public byte[] licenseImg { get; set; }
public string licenseImgType { get; set; }
[Display(Name ="Password")]
[DataType(DataType.Password)]
[Required(ErrorMessage ="Please Enter a password")]
public string PasswordHash { get; set; }
}

and in the customer model:

public class RidersModel
{
[Display(Name ="Id")]
public int usersId { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "First Name")]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Pleas Enter Your First Name")]
public string firstName { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Last Name")]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Pleas Enter Your Last Name")]
public string lastName { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Email Address")]
[DataType(DataType.EmailAddress)]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Pleas Enter Your Email Address")]
[RegularExpression(".+\\@.+\\..+", ErrorMessage = "Please Enater a Valid Email Address")]
public string email { get; set; }
[Required]
[StringLength(100, ErrorMessage = "The {0} must be at least {2} characters long.", MinimumLength = 6)]
[DataType(DataType.Password)]
[Display(Name = "Password")]
public string Password { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Mobile Number")]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Pleas Enter Your Mobile Number")]
public string mobileNumber { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Address")]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Pleas Enter Your Address")]
public string Address { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "City")]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Pleas Enter Your City")]
public string city { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "State")]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Pleas Enter Your state")]
public string state { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Zip Code")]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Pleas Enter Your Zip Code")]
public int zipCode { get; set; }
}

If I want to create a separate profile model for each role (customer/driver), I would include in each model what I want to save foreach user. But I don't know how would I create an action for that modelto generate all the information.?

Further, I want to have at some point the available rides to the driver so he can see which customer has requested him/her. Also, what rides the customer has requested in the customer profile.

I have a rides table in my database that has a relationship to the users/drivers table.it includes:

usersId, driversId, and Date (all as a primary key)

Thank You.

Sorry for late reply.
I created RoleName class and defined constant strings as role names .
public class RoleName
   {
       public const string AdminRoleName = "Administrator";
       public const string DriverRoleName = "Driver";
      public const string CustomerRoleName = "Customer";
   }
so when ever you are going to register driver/customer etc, just pass the rolename in AddToRole method of usermanager to associate with them, otherwise it will be added as normal users.
UserManager.AddToRole(user.Id, RoleName.DriverRoleName);

Thank you so much Ahmed for replying,
Sorry I'm quite new to this type of project

now for having the same exist driver model, which for registration.
Is not that going to add a new role that already exist?

In fact, I have added the identity after I created the project(as an existing project) so I'm using identity framework.
inthe original registration action I have the following:
[HttpPost]
        public ActionResult DriversRegistration(DriversModel driver, IEnumerable images)
        {
            var profileImg = images.ElementAt(0);
            var licenseImg = images.ElementAt(1);


            //First check the first Image
            if (profileImg != null && profileImg.ContentLength > 0)
            {
                driver.profileImgType = profileImg.ContentType;
                string fileName = profileImg.FileName;
                string pattern = @"([^\s]+(\.(?i)(jpg|png|gif|bmp))$)";

                Regex rgx = new Regex(pattern);

                //Get the length of the image in bytes and create that array
                driver.profileImg = new byte[profileImg.ContentLength];

                //fill the array of bytes with the image data
                profileImg.InputStream.Read(driver.profileImg, 0, profileImg.ContentLength);

                //Need to do model state checking here, provided some code for that already

                ModelState.Clear();

            }
            //Now check the second Image
            if (licenseImg != null && licenseImg.ContentLength > 0)
            {
                driver.licenseImgType = licenseImg.ContentType;
                string fileName = licenseImg.FileName;
                string pattern = @"([^\s]+(\.(?i)(jpg|png|gif|bmp))$)";

                Regex rgx = new Regex(pattern);

                //Get the length of the image in bytes and create that array
                driver.licenseImg = new byte[licenseImg.ContentLength];

                //fill the array of bytes with the image data
                licenseImg.InputStream.Read(driver.licenseImg, 0, licenseImg.ContentLength);

                //Need to do model state checking here, provided some code for that already

                ModelState.Clear();

            }
            if (ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                DriversTier tier = new DriversTier();
                int newID = tier.insertDriver(driver);
                driver.driverId = newID;


                return RedirectToAction("ThankYou", "Default");
            }
            else
            {
                return View();
            }


        }
I also have the quite same action in the admin controller:
[HttpPost]
   public async Task CreateDriver(DriversModel driver, IEnumerable images)
   {

       var profileImg = images.ElementAt(0);
       var licenseImg = images.ElementAt(1);


       //First check the first Image
       if (profileImg != null && profileImg.ContentLength > 0)
       {
           driver.profileImgType = profileImg.ContentType;
           string fileName = profileImg.FileName;
           string pattern = @"([^\s]+(\.(?i)(jpg|png|gif|bmp))$)";

           Regex rgx = new Regex(pattern);

           //Get the length of the image in bytes and create that array
           driver.profileImg = new byte[profileImg.ContentLength];

           //fill the array of bytes with the image data
           profileImg.InputStream.Read(driver.profileImg, 0, profileImg.ContentLength);

           //Need to do model state checking here, provided some code for that already

           ModelState.Clear();

       }

       if (licenseImg != null && licenseImg.ContentLength > 0)
       {
           driver.licenseImgType = licenseImg.ContentType;
           string fileName = licenseImg.FileName;
           string pattern = @"([^\s]+(\.(?i)(jpg|png|gif|bmp))$)";

           Regex rgx = new Regex(pattern);

           //Get the length of the image in bytes and create that array
           driver.licenseImg = new byte[licenseImg.ContentLength];

           //fill the array of bytes with the image data
           licenseImg.InputStream.Read(driver.licenseImg, 0, licenseImg.ContentLength);

           //Need to do model state checking here, provided some code for that already

           ModelState.Clear();

       }
       if (ModelState.IsValid)
       {
           bool processError = false;
           var userStore = new UserStore();
           var userManager = new UserManager(userStore);
           string statusMessage = "";
           IdentityUser theUser = new IdentityUser() { UserName = driver.email, Email = driver.email };
           IdentityResult theResult = await userManager.CreateAsync(theUser, driver.PasswordHash);
           DriversTier tier = new DriversTier();
           int newID = tier.insertDriver(driver);
           driver.driverId = newID;

           if (theResult == IdentityResult.Success)
           {
             //First check to see if User Role exists.  If not create it and add user to User role.
             var roleStore = new RoleStore();
             var roleManager = new RoleManager(roleStore);
             IdentityRole theRole = await roleManager.FindByNameAsync("Driver");

             if (theRole == null)
               {
             //The user role does not exist, create it.
              theRole = new IdentityRole("Driver");
              theResult = null;
              theResult = await roleManager.CreateAsync(theRole);

               if (theResult == null)
                   {
                       statusMessage = string.Format("User Group Creation failed because : {0}", theResult.Errors.FirstOrDefault());
                       //Need to exit nicely here for some reason, we could not create the role with the DB
                       processError = true;
                   }
               }

               if (!processError)
               {
                   //The role exists, now add the user to the role
                   theResult = await userManager.AddToRoleAsync(theUser.Id, "Driver");
                   statusMessage = string.Format("Identity User {0} was created successfully! {0} was added to the User group: {1}", theUser.UserName, theResult.Errors.FirstOrDefault());
               }
           }
           else
           {
               //could not create a user
               statusMessage = string.Format("User Creation failed because : {0}", theResult.Errors.FirstOrDefault());
               processError = true;
           }

           List userList = userManager.Users.ToList();

           return RedirectToAction("DisplayDrivers/" + driver.driverId, userList);

       }
       else
       {

           return View();
       }
   }
I know I probably missing some part. But here In the admin controller I have created the role. How would that work with your solution? Can You please explain a little further?
Thank you.

Hi Hadeel.
You can create the profile(driver/customer) the same way you do when you register user in account controller. Create a viewmodels for each driver/customer and include the RegisterViewmodel defined in AccountViewmodels
[HttpPost]
       [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
       public async Task AddDriver(DriverFormViewModel viewModel)
       {
           if (ModelState.IsValid)
           {
               var user = new ApplicationUser()
               {
                   UserName = viewModel.RegisterViewModel.Email,
                   Email = viewModel.RegisterViewModel.Email,
               };
               var result = await UserManager.CreateAsync(user, viewModel.RegisterViewModel.Password);

               if (result.Succeeded)
               {
                   UserManager.AddToRole(user.Id, RoleName.DriverRoleName);
                   Driver driver = new Driver()
                   {
                      //populate driver
                   };
                   UserManager.AddClaim(user.Id, new Claim(ClaimTypes.GivenName, driver.Name));

                   _unitOfWork.Drivers.Add(driver);
                   _unitOfWork.Complete();
                   return RedirectToAction("Index", "Drivers");
               }
               this.AddErrors(result);
           }
           // If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
           return View("DriverForm", viewModel);
       }
For the available riders extend the applicationuser class by adding "isAvailable" property.
