European heavy vehicle walkaround and pre-trip inspections

Every journey starts with a verified inspection.

PTIWA uses QR codes, NFC tags, mandatory location services, GPS-confirmed taps, photos and PTIAI image processing to confirm drivers physically inspect heavy vehicles and trailers before departure. Every checkpoint scan or tap requires a GPS location, giving operators proof of where and when the inspection happened.

✓ QR or NFC proof-of-presence ✓ Location services enforced ✓ GPS captured on every tap ✓ Vehicle and trailer location history ✓ PTIAI image comparison ✓ Setup in under 2 minutes

Force the walkaround, not just the checkbox.

Drivers must physically visit inspection points around the vehicle. PTIWA records who scanned, what they scanned, when they scanned it, the GPS location received at the moment of the tap or scan, and what they reported.

QR code checkpoints

Place durable QR labels around the vehicle: tyres, lights, mirrors, coupling, load area, engine bay and cab safety items.

📡

NFC tap checkpoints

Use NFC tags where you want faster, tamper-resistant proof that the operator was physically at the inspection point.

📷

Optional photo enforcement

Require a photo for selected checks, such as tyres, engine bay, lights, load security, body damage or trailer coupling.

📝

Driver notes for unknown damage

Drivers can log fresh or unknown damage immediately, attach notes, capture photos and create a follow-up trail before blame becomes unclear.

🛰️

GPS required on every tap

The app enforces location services before a checkpoint can be completed. Each QR scan or NFC tap must receive a GPS location, so the inspection is tied to a real place and time.

Audit-ready records

Build a defensible inspection history for operators, fleet managers, workshops and compliance teams without relying on paper forms.

Location services are not optional. Every tap needs GPS proof.

PTIWA is designed for fleets that need evidence, not trust-based checklists. If location services are off, the driver cannot complete the inspection checkpoint until the app receives a valid GPS position.

📍

GPS captured per checkpoint

Every QR scan and NFC tap stores a GPS position, timestamp, driver, vehicle, trailer and inspection point. This proves where the driver was when the check was completed.

🚫

No GPS, no completion

If location services are disabled, blocked or no GPS fix is available, PTIWA prevents the checkpoint from being marked complete until location evidence is received.

🛰️

Last known asset location

The dashboard uses inspection taps to show where every vehicle and trailer was last seen, helping teams locate dropped trailers, overdue vehicles and incomplete inspections.

Inspection flow

Front tyre check

Driver taps the NFC tag beside the tyre, takes a required photo and PTIAI checks the image for visible tyre concerns that may need human review.

Review

PTIAI does not just look at today’s photo. It compares today against the vehicle’s history.

For each inspection item, PTIAI can compare the current image with the last 20 images captured for the same vehicle, trailer and checkpoint.

🛞

Tyres and tread depth

PTIAI can flag tyre images that appear to show low tread, sidewall damage, abnormal wear, cuts or visible condition changes compared with previous inspections.

🧱

Very low brake pads

Where brake pad photos are part of the inspection workflow, PTIAI can highlight images that appear to show very low pad thickness or a meaningful change from prior checks.

🛢️

Oil and fluid leaks

By comparing today’s engine bay image with the last 20 images, PTIAI can identify new leak patterns, stains or fluid changes before a driver notices them.

🔁

Change detection over time

Small defects are easy to miss in isolation. PTIAI looks for visual differences between today’s inspection and historical images for the same checkpoint.

👥

Built for multi-driver fleets

When a vehicle is driven by multiple drivers each week, new drivers may ignore or miss a slowly developing leak. PTIAI can notice that the image has changed even when the driver has no history with that vehicle.

🚩

Human follow-up queue

PTIAI does not need to make the final maintenance decision. It flags suspicious images so a fleet manager, workshop or compliance officer can review the item quickly.

One dashboard for every vehicle, trailer and follow-up.

Fleet managers can see the last tap time, GPS-confirmed tap location, last known asset location, current trailer link and which images need human follow-up.

Trailer intelligence

PTIWA knows which trailer is attached to which vehicle and keeps the trailer’s last known GPS location from the most recent scan, tap or trailer event.
