Defining Vehicle Status

Active and inactive vehicle status types can be defined for specific vehicles.

Before you begin

Vehicles must be open.

Before using the Status tab, vehicle status types must be defined in File > Ancillary Data > General > Status Types. To define vehicle status types, select the Vehicles Category.

About this task

Vehicle status allows you to define when a vehicle will be active or inactive and define the reason for their availability or lack of availability (for example, a two-day maintenance period). Status periods are defined consecutively.

This status will only be checked if the Trapeze6 security permission Permissions > Trapeze4 > PASS-OPS Integration > Override Vehicle Inactive Status is denied.

If your system is integrated with PASS-OPS, this feature is only available when PASS-OPS is disabled (that is, the check box for the Trapeze6 property found under Properties > OPS > Work > Demand Response > Pass Integration > Enable is cleared).

Note:

There are two areas in Vehicles where an Inactive status can be defined. On the Detail tab, vehicles can be marked with an inactive status type or an active status type for specific time periods (the StatusType options are defined in the VehicleStatusType table. In the Active field, 0 = inactive and 1 = active).

On the General tab, there is an InActive option that allows users to mark vehicles as inactive.

If the vehicle is marked inactive in either area and the security permissions are appropriately set, the vehicle will not be visible in places where it could be assigned to a run.
