Incident and accident reporting workflow automation

Purpose

1. To automate the real-time capture, documentation, notification, escalation, and management of incident and accident reports for cycle rickshaw fleets, enhancing compliance, safety, response speed, regulatory audit readiness, and operational transparency within emerging transport businesses.

2. Automates driver-reported events, automatedly aggregates data from physical sites or mobile devices, sends automated alerts, tracks investigations, automates documentation approval, and generates regulatory submissions.

3. The automation covers the complete workflow: from incident input (from field or depot), verification, evidence (photo/GPS) collection, notification to stakeholders, rapid escalation, root-cause assignment, and automated dashboarding for executive oversight.

Trigger Conditions

1. Incident logged by driver via mobile form, kiosk, or internal web app (accident, safety concern, vehicle breakdown, passenger complaint).

2. Third-party sensor/alarm activation (telematics system detects collision/sudden stop).

3. Fleet manager triggers manual incident report due to observed event or compliance audit.

4. Automatedly scanning police/public databases for cycle rickshaw-related incidents.

5. Scheduled compliance audits requiring the latest safety reports—automation to pull latest events.
