Vehicle Lifecycle

The Vehicle Lifecycle defines the states that a Vehicle can be in from when it is acquired to when it is retired.

A Vehicle has the following five lifecycle states:

  • Onboarding: The Vehicle data is being entered and/or verified.
  • Active:
    • Available: The Vehicle is operational and is available for use.
    • In-use: The Vehicle is operational and is already being assigned a task.
    • Unavailable: The Vehicle is operational but not available for use (to be used after repair, maintenance, etc. downtime).
  • Inactive: The Vehicle is not operational.
