Dispatcher Notifications & Alerts Enhancements
This release focuses on strengthening the Dispatcher Notification System in the TOBI Dispatch Portal. New features, alerts, and UI improvements have been introduced to help dispatchers stay informed in real time, respond to operational changes faster, and ensure student safety.
Key Highlights
New Ride Request Notifications:
- Dispatchers now receive real-time alerts when a new ride request is submitted via the District Booking Portal.
- Alerts include trip ID, district name, student name, and scheduled trip date.
- Notifications are visible only to users with dispatcher roles and remain unread until individually acknowledged.
- Audit logging is enabled to capture notification delivery and read timestamps per dispatcher.
Modified Ride Request Notifications:
- Dispatchers are now notified when an existing ride request is modified via the Booking Portal.
- Notifications provide details of the modification along with trip ID and scheduling details.
- Read/unread status is tracked per dispatcher, ensuring individual accountability.
Driver Run Acceptance & Rejection Notifications:
- Acceptance Alerts: Dispatchers are notified immediately when a driver accepts a run, preventing double assignments.
- Rejection Alerts: Dispatchers receive alerts when a driver rejects a run, including the reason for rejection.
- Notifications provide details of the modification along with trip ID and scheduling details.
- Read/unread status is tracked per dispatcher, ensuring individual accountability.
Driver late alert Notifications:
- If a driver has not started or reached the pickup point within the lateness threshold (e.g., 10 minutes past scheduled time), the system:
- Flags the trip as “Late”.
- Sends a notification to the dispatcher.
- Displays a “Late” tag on the Operations screen.
Final Drop-Off Confirmation Alerts:
- Dispatchers are alerted if a driver does not mark the last student as dropped off within a configurable buffer time after the scheduled drop-off.
- Alerts include trip ID, student name, scheduled drop-off time, and driver name.
Fixes & Improvements:
- Mark All Notifications as read: Corrected functionality to ensure all notifications are properly marked read without being cleared incorrectly.
- Single Notification read: Individual notifications now get marked as read on click.
- Real-Time refresh: Notifications now auto-refresh in real time, eliminating the need for manual screen refresh.
