DVIR Overview:
Drivers are required to complete pre- and post-shift inspections of their vehicle and trailer, noting any defects. This record is called a Driver Vehicle Inspection Report (DVIR). This information has been available in the PFM under the ELD tab > DVIR > Inspection Reports. Now, it can also be funneled through TTC (Trimble Transportation Cloud) to your system for repair management or reporting. For an ELD Integration overview, check out this 4 minute video. The video refers to TMT and Link, but this documentation will help you write your own DVIR integration.
ELD DVIR is included in the Trimble Transportation Mobility ELD (electronic logging device) product. There are no extra fees, but DVIR must be enabled separately and the configuration will apply to all drivers. There is no dependency on a specific mobile version. The minimum compliant version of 10.1 will contain everything you need for DVIR. It may be hard to generate test DVIR data from a bench unit because the ELD mandate requires a connection to the ECM.
Please review the TTC Overview for more details on how to authenticate, consume events from Azure Service Bus and publish events to Event Receiver.
DVIR Components
The following three types of DVIR data are available from Azure Service Bus:
vehicle-inspection.created - new DVIR records created by a driver on a mobile device or by a PFM user on behalf of the driver.
vehicle-inspection.updated - DVIR records that have been updated with new notes, repair certification or acknowledgement by the driver.
inspection-checklist.updated - a record indicating that the configurable list of defects and categories has recently been changed. A message will be published to the queue whenever the checklist changes.
TTC's Event Receiver service can be used to update a DVIR record:
vehicle-inspection.repaired - use this service to make an update to a DVIR to indicate that repairs have been made and/or add notes.
TTC's API Gateway
Inspection Checklist [COMING SOON] - request a copy of the inspection-checklist on demand. This may be most useful when setting up a new DVIR integration or restoring the checklist after unexpected events.
