myAvail offers an optional DVIR (Driver Vehicle Inspections Report) vehicle inspection reporting feature that enables operators to document vehicle inspections electronically after logging on to the MDT using a pass/fail system.
TIPS: Personnel that have access to the Vehicle Inspections Settings area can create these inspection screens and set them up for deployment to your fixed route vehicles, where they display on the MDT for your operators. Collaborating with your maintenance team will ensure the inspections created align with your agency standards/ requirements for reporting; and agencies using Avail’s Transit Assets solution (Work Orders) can start and track the repair work order process by simply right‑clicking a related event, typically on the Maintenance area/ queue.
System administrators will define the inspection checks, list the possible failure reasons for each inspection check, and arrange the inspection checks and failure reasons for the display on the vehicle MDT.
For vehicles that have this option, the MDT DVIR Vehicle Inspection screens begin right after the MDT Logon screen. The Vehicle Inspection screens begin with a set of defined vehicle checks, and then end with a set of vehicle‑specific body checks. Throughout the DVIR inspection process, the MDT provides Prev (previous) and Next buttons to go back or forward between completed pre‑trip test screens. All inspection checks must be passed or failed before proceeding to the next screen, however, body damage screens may be skipped, as needed. Use the PRETRIP button to see the last documented results for the vehicle.
After the DVIR Inspections screens, the MDT prompts the operator to complete the MDT Standard Pre-Trip Tests. These tests use a 'Pass', 'Fail', or 'Skip' button to document results. After these are completed, the MDT displays a screen that allows the operator a choice to either submit their pre‑trip test results or cancel and restart pre-trip tests.
PLEASE NOTE: At the completion of pretrip inspections, the vehicle operator will be presented with a button to 'Submit Pretrip Results' on the MDT. When this button is pressed, the data begins to move to its appropriate location. For example, failures will be directed to the Maintenance queue for further review/ management. All passed/ failed items also display in your Business Intelligence reports ( Maintenance reports).
