Truck roll avoidance automation software

An example of truck roll avoidance as a governed process: agents do the 9 steps, and a person signs 3 gates before anything irreversible happens. Download it, import it into your workspace, and adapt it to your systems.

Truck-roll avoidance autopilot

Carriers run 3-8M field dispatches a year and 20-40% are no-fault-found truck rolls that a remote reboot, line resync or config push would have cleared, at roughly $250-500 each. Diagnosis today is manual call-center guesswork against fragmented OSS and EMS systems, so a tech is rolled the moment a customer complains rather than only when physical work is genuinely required. Routine impairments are diagnosed and remotely remediated by agents in minutes, and clearly self-healing or non-physical faults never generate a dispatch. Only tickets with a real physical root cause reach a human dispatcher, who authorizes every irreversible truck-roll commit.

Start
agent · low risk
Pull the trouble ticket and customer/service record, and enrich with account and prior-truck-roll history
gate · human sign-off
Is this ticket worthy of remote diagnosis, or should it be auto-suppressed (duplicate, known outage, customer behavior issue)? Gate prevents diagnostic effort waste on non-technical tickets.signs: Field-ops triage specialist
parallel · fan-out / join
Gather device and network telemetry concurrently
agent · low risk
Read live device and line telemetry: modem/ONT status, DSL/PON sync, SNR/RxPower, error counters
agent · low risk
Read surrounding node/network health and active outage/alarm state for the serving DSLAM/OLT
agent · medium risk
Correlate both telemetry streams to a root cause, separate node/outage faults from premises faults, and classify remotely-fixable vs needs-physical-work
decision
Does the diagnosis require expert review (rare fault, cross-carrier, unknown device, or unusual classification)?
gate · human sign-off
Senior network engineer reviews diagnosis, approves fault classification and remediation strategy before proceedingsigns: Senior Network Engineer
decision
Fault type?
agent · low risk
Self-healing or known node/outage fault: suppress dispatch, attach the outage ticket, and queue for outage-restore monitoring (no premises work)
agent · medium risk
Run guided remote remediation (modem reboot, line/profile resync, config or firmware push) and re-verify the line; auto-roll back on regression
decision
Line healthy after remediation?
agent · low risk
Draft the dispatch recommendation with root cause, evidence, skill/parts needed, and a truck-roll-vs-defer rationale
gate · human sign-off
Review the evidence and authorize (or reject) the truck rollsigns: Field-ops dispatch manager
agent · high riskirreversible
Commit the authorized field work order, reserve the technician slot and parts, and notify the customer of the appointment

Use this example
01

Download the file

A minctrl.process/v1 document: the graph and the hash of the process it becomes.

02

Import it in Processes

Import into Minctrl opens this example in your workspace; one click stores it as your first version. Import JSON does the same with the file, and a file changed after download is refused.

03

Connect your systems

Every connector starts in shadow: steps run, nothing leaves Minctrl until you configure a connector and switch it live.

04

Adapt it

Change signers, time limits and steps on the canvas. Each save is a new version; a running case stays on the version it started with.

Questions
How do I automate truck roll avoidance with Minctrl?

Start from this example. Import the file in Processes, connect your own systems, and adapt the steps on the canvas. Agents run the reversible steps; every irreversible step waits at a gate for the role you choose. The example has 9 steps and 3 gates; you can change any of them.

Is truck roll avoidance in Minctrl auditable?

Every run start, signature and change to the process is written to a hash-chained audit log your auditor can verify and export. A run is pinned to the exact graph it started on.

Does the AI decide everything?

No. Minctrl will not make a process runnable while an irreversible step can be reached without a human gate, and one person cannot sign two gates of the same run.
