In the ever-evolving world of fleet management, staying ahead of the curve means embracing new technologies that drive safety and efficiency. Geotab’s recent advancements in AI and telematics, highlighted at the Geotab Connect 2024 conference, are setting new standards for fleet safety and operational effectiveness.
The top use case for telematics in fleets continues to be fleet safety. Traditionally, telematics data around driver behaviors such as speeding, braking, and harsh cornering has been used to create driver scorecards by assigning a weighted value to these behaviors. While effective, this method has its limitations.
Geotab is redefining this approach by incorporating AI. According to Mike Branch, VP of Data and Analytics at Geotab, “AI is the best way for us to go beyond the traditional risk-based score.” By combining driver behavior data from millions of Geotab vehicles with AI, the accuracy and predictive power of these scorecards are significantly enhanced. This new model allows for more specific focus areas and improved driver safety.
One of the key innovations showcased at Geotab Connect 2024 is the new Geotab Safety Center. This next-generation tool utilizes AI and data intelligence to provide faster insights and proactive measures to combat unsafe driving before collisions occur. As Sabina Martin, AVP of Product Management at Geotab, noted, “We’re not just providing visibility into risks, we’re helping companies to predict and prevent them.”
Geotab’s Enhanced Collision Detection feature is another groundbreaking addition to its 2024 safety suite. This technology advances how fleets can detect both major and minor collisions, increasing precision and accuracy. The Safety Center, available within the MyGeotab platform, leverages these tools to transform how fleet managers approach safety, fostering safer roads for everyone.
Neil Cawse, CEO of Geotab, emphasized the game-changing potential of AI at the conference. “The ability to train an expert and have that expert reason logically about your data is completely game-changing in my mind.” This sentiment underscores Geotab’s commitment to integrating AI across fleet processes, from safety to efficiency.
With tools like predictive collision analytics and peer fleet benchmarking, fleet managers can uncover and manage performance risks more effectively. This proactive approach not only enhances safety but also streamlines operational decisions, reducing costs associated with collisions and downtime.
Geotab’s advancements in AI and telematics are revolutionizing fleet management. By harnessing the power of AI, fleets can move beyond traditional safety measures, gaining deeper insights and more effective solutions. As the industry continues to evolve, embracing these innovations will be key to maintaining a safe and efficient fleet.
