ON DEMAND EVENTS (MAIN MENU OPTION 9)
System Overview: How it Works
DIAD III, which is equipped with a data radio, can send messages to a center and/or dispatch site,
and receive messages from either site. The service provider can receive messages such as requests
for a pickup, a delivery, or an assist. These are called On Demand events.
You can receive or initiate these types of On Demand events:
Pickup:
• OCA—A pickup with the service type of On Call Air (OCA).
• Generic—A pickup with the service type of generic will include Rapid Recovery
requests, such as a customer’s request for an additional pickup.
Delivery:
• Generic—A delivery with the service type of generic will include Rapid Recovery
requests. Examples include a customer’s request for a re-delivery attempt or request to
pick up a package that was previously delivered, such as a misdelivery, a refused, or a
damaged package.
Assist:
• Generic—An assist with the service type of generic.
Receiving On Demand Event Messages
The On Demand Alert screen appears on your DIAD whenever the center or dispatch site transmits
an On Demand event message. This indicates that a customer needs a specific service, such as an
On Call Air pickup (OCA).
