Automated Fleet Management - Proven To Streamline Your Fleet Operations

Introduction to automated fleet management

As technology continues to advance, more fleet managers are increasingly relying on automated fleet management solutions. With a growing trust in the capabilities of technology, there's a noticeable shift toward integrating automated systems for effective, human-error-free fleet supervision. 

Embracing change can be daunting, especially when it comes to your fleet management. Many hesitate to switch to automated fleet management fearing the complexities of the transition. However, with the right guidance and support, implementing this technology can take your business to new heights and allow it to operate on a far bigger and more profitable scale.

What makes automated fleet management so amazing?

Automated fleet management leverages advanced technologies such as GPS, IoT sensors, telematics devices, and data analytics to your benefit. All these technologies together, help provide real-time visibility, predictive insights, and automated task completion, enabling proactive decision-making and allowing managers to focus more on other vital aspects within their fleet.

Key components of automated fleet management include:

• Vehicle tracking: Real-time tracking of vehicle location and movement using GPS technology enables managers to optimise routes, identify inefficiencies, and ensure timely deliveries.
  ‍
• Maintenance scheduling: Automated scheduling of vehicle maintenance tasks based on predefined criteria minimises downtime and prevents unexpected breakdowns.
  ‍
• Telematics integration: Telematics devices collect and transmit data related to vehicle performance, driver behaviour, fuel consumption, and other critical metrics, providing valuable insights for efficient business decision-making.
  ‍
• Fuel management: Most fleet management systems can monitor fuel usage through fuel sensors, detect anomalies or inefficiencies, and provide data-driven recommendations to optimise fuel consumption and reduce fleet running costs.
  ‍
• Driver safety and compliance: Be able to actively monitor driver behaviour, promote safe driving practices and ensure compliance with regulatory standards, enhancing overall safety and reducing the risk of accidents.

When is the perfect time to automate your fleet?

After realising how the switch to automated practices can greatly benefit a business, many business owners choose to make the switch either when their fleet and business begin to grow or when managers can't keep up with their fleet or daily tasks.The most common issues owners and managers face before implementing automated help include, but are not limited to:

• Limited visibility into fleet operations
• Notification overload
• Trouble managing fleet costs
• Supply chain disruptions
• Failed route optimisation
• Fleet non-compliance issues 
• Unsuccessful fleet maintenance management

Fleet innovation such as AI, machine learning, automation, and advanced analytics are solutions to all of the above-mentioned issues, as well as others that fleet managers might not be aware of. Fleet management software solutions and these technologies are the keys to improving the way you manage your fleet and run your business.

2. Enhanced safety and driver coaching with AI cameras

   Cartrack's AI-powered cameras provide an extra layer of safety for your fleet and its drivers. These cameras detect risky driving behaviours, such as distracted driving, smoking, and fatigue, and provide real-time alerts to help prevent accidents.

   - Distracted or fatigued driving detection: The cameras monitor the driver's head and eye movements to identify signs of distraction, such as when their attention drifts from the road. This eye movement detection triggers an instant real-time audible alert, warning the driver to refocus on the road and avoid potential hazards.

   - Mobile phone use detection: Cartrack's AI cameras can also detect signs of phone use while driving, such as holding the phone or manipulating it near the ear. Upon detecting such behaviour, the cameras emit an audible alert, prompting the driver to put away their phone and eliminate this dangerous distraction.

   - Smoking detection: Cartrack's AI cameras can detect when drivers are smoking in the vehicle, emitting an audible alert to remind them to keep both hands on the wheel and focus on the road ahead. This feature helps to eliminate distractions and promotes a smoke-free environment within company vehicles.
