Driving success: How AI empowers fleets for optimal performance
Fleet management · May 28, 2024
In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, organizations are constantly seeking innovative solutions to navigate the complexities of their operations. As technology advances, artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a powerful tool that can revolutionize decision-making processes to help organizations enhance their overall efficiency, enable cost savings and improve sustainability and safety.
As organizations embrace new technologies, they pave the way for a future where AI becomes an indispensable ally in data-informed decision-making.
A study by Edelman and Microsoft
found that 78% of small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are currently seeking to adopt AI, and more than half of them (65%) are encouraging their employees to use it.AI algorithms can process vast amounts of data, analyze patterns and generate valuable insights that can help fleets of any size make decisions confidently. By leveraging AI, organizations can gain the ability to find practical and highly executable efficiencies based on data retrieved from owned devices.
“By analyzing vast amounts of data on vehicle performance, maintenance schedules, and route planning, AI can predict maintenance needs, optimize routes for fuel efficiency and monitor vehicle health."

One of the key areas where AI is making a significant impact in fleet management is driver safety. With AI-powered dash cams and video telematics, fleets can track driver behaviour in real-time. These advanced telematics systems give fleet managers the ability to identify areas for improvement and provide real-time feedback to drivers, promoting safer driving practices and help to reduce the risk of accidents.
AI-powered dash cams and telematics not only monitor driver behaviour but also provide real-time feedback to drivers. Through audio or visual alerts, drivers can be immediately notified of any risky behaviour, allowing them to correct their actions and make safer decisions on the road. This real-time feedback mechanism helps drivers develop better driving habits, potentially leading to improved overall performance and reduced incidents.
However, these solutions go beyond driver safety and extend to optimizing fleet operations, and even open the door to a more efficient future with leaps in technology such as Generative AI (GenAI). Small businesses that have already become acquainted with AI technology have reported an
average increase in productivity of 31%
. Industry professionals have identified 2024 as not only an emerging year for GenAI but a continued year of growth."The emergence of Generative AI (Gen AI) has captured our imagination, offering the promise of exponential growth. While 2023 was undoubtedly the breakout year for Gen AI, 2024 will be a year of establishing trust in Gen AI. At Geotab, we have long invested in building trusted data intelligence and AI into our systems, which now powers insight for our customers ranging from helping to predict vehicle maintenance needs, to electric vehicle suitability, to predicting collision probability."
