Low Level Function
8.2.3 Evaluate Fleet Operations Performance

Overview

This Function shall be capable of providing the following facilities:

(1) The ability to take charge of all evaluation of the performances of the Freight Vehicle Fleet operation and if not requested to do it by the Fleet Operator, carry it out at regular intervals.
(2) The ability to read all the data needed for the evaluation from the store of Resources Data, reporting any missing data to the Fleet Operator.
(3) The ability to carry out the evaluation, determining such things as global availability status, economical rates and route performances, and including them in a suitable report, which shall be sent to the Fleet Operator.
(4) The ability to also send the results of the evaluation to the functionality that manages fleet business.

Functional Requirements

(a) when the first trigger input data flow is received, the command that it contains shall be decoded and the scope of the required evaluation determined
(b) the Function shall read the data needed for the report from the store of Resources Data
(c) if during the course of (b) the required data is not found, this shall be reported to the Freight Operator using the first trigger output data flow
(d) the valid data that is retrieved as a result of (b) shall be used to determine global availability status, economical rates and route performances
(e) when (d) is completed, the Function shall produce the requested evaluation report
(f) when (e) is complete, the evaluation report shall be sent to the Fleet Operator using the first trigger output data flow
(g) when (f) is complete, the data produced in (d) shall be sent to the Freight Operator requests negotiation Function
(h) if the data flow in (a) in not received within a configurable length of time (typically hours, days or weeks), the Function shall perform steps (b) to (f) above for all information about freight shipments that is currently held in the store of Resources Data.
