Dispatch Request Message. Fields: Id Unique id generated by the originator that will identify all communication about this dispatch through its entire lifecycle. Originator Id of company originating this dispatch request. If the dispatch came via an Online Dispatch Referral Company this will be the id of that company. If the dispatch came through “traditional” dispatch (e.g. the customer phones a Color Scheme directly) this will be the id of the Dispatch Service (since no Online Dispatch Referral Company is involved). Customer phone Phone number of customer Time of request Date and time request was made Requested pickup location Address and latitude/longitude for requested pickup location Requested drop off location Address and latitude/longitude for requested drop off location (if given by customer) Requested pick up time Time requested by customer for pickup (typically “now”) Vehicles Zero of more vehicle ids of vehicles that should be dispatched, listed in preference order. If no ids are specified, the Online Dispatch Referral Company is allowing the Dispatch Service itself to select a vehicle to dispatch. In this case, the Online Dispatch Referral Company can use the Color Scheme Ids field to specify which Color Schemes should be allowed to dispatch a vehicle. If one or more id is specified, the Online Dispatch Referral Company is asking the Dispatch Service to dispatch only to the specific vehicles requested. When a Dispatch Service sends a dispatch request (as opposed to a Online Dispatch Referral Company), this field should be filled with the ids of the vehicles to which the Dispatch Service actually offered the dispatch. (e.g. if the Dispatch Service dispatches by zone, only the ids of cabs in the zone should be listed here). Color Schemes In the special case where the Online Dispatch Referral Company has not given specific vehicle Ids, this field lists all the Color Schemes the Online Dispatch Referral Company is willing to allow to try to dispatch a vehicle. If the vehicle Ids field and the Color Scheme Ids field are both empty, the Online Dispatch Referral Company is requesting that any vehicle from any Color Scheme may be dispatched, and all Dispatch Services may try to dispatch any vehicle. When a Dispatch Service sends a dispatch request (as opposed to a Online Dispatch Referral Company), this field should be empty if the Vehicle Ids field contains values, and otherwise should include all Color Schemes that the Dispatch Service actually offered the dispatch.
