Improving Fleet Safety with Telematics

Fleet Management can be stressful and sometimes frustrating to operate. However, some of the advanced fleet software ease your workload by providing visibility and actionable insights that drive good results for your organization. Despite the continuous efforts of fleet safety managers, fleet owners, and industry risk managers, accidents still happen. Even with those companies operating with regular driver safety meetings, fleet safety training programs, enforced and strict safety policies, and strong driver hiring practices will still experience accidents. Fortunately, there is an advanced and most powerful tool, Telematics, that is available for fleet managers that can help companies reduce their fleet safety-related costs.

Telematics is a combination of telecommunications and informatics that can gather data on the driver and fleet  in real-time to help companies and drivers improve fleet safety.

Benefits of Telematics in Fleet Management

When Telematics is used in commercial vehicles, the data provided can vastly improve driver behavior and fleet safety. When applied across fleet safety, information provided by telematics can give companies insight into the effectiveness of safety training, safety policies, driver hiring processes, and vehicle maintenance.

The ways in which Telematics can help your company improve your fleet safety culture are as follows:

GPS Data:

The Telematics systems come with GPS locators that monitor vehicle location, total distance traveled, and vehicle speed. Also, telematics allows you to map out faster routes, safer routes, and get updated information on traffic and construction. Also, companies and fleet managers can use telematics systems to get emergency assistance to drivers in case of an accident or breakdown.

Driver Scorecard:

An onboard Telematics system allows fleet tracking along with driver behavior such as speed, braking, accelerating, idling, and any behavior you think is guaranteed. The system gives your driver a score, which the company can use to augment driver training, or to apply rewards or disciplinary actions.

Driver Feedback:

Beyond the data, the fleet telematics systems can give commercial drivers a voice on how to improve  fleet safety. By empowering drivers to communicate with fleet managers, telematics can help employees provide their valuable feedback and report concerns before they become accidents or costly issues.

Risky Behavior:

Understanding what are the distractions for your drivers help you build better fleet safety programs and stronger disciplinary actions for prohibited behaviors. The Driver behavior is often attributed to unsafe behaviors, such as using mobile devices for text messages, changing radio channels, or talking on the phone while driving. Telematics determines if your drivers are using seat belts, conducting safety checks, or securing loads.

Effective Fleet Maintenance Tips To Keep Your Fleet Running Smoothly

Businesses lose money every time a vehicle is facing sudden downtime,telematics can help fleet managers/ owners proactively plan fleet maintenance and reduce vehicle downtime, and avoid unwanted sudden breakdowns. Keeping your drivers and vehicle safe while they are on the road is vital, however, none of that is possible if your fleet isn’t well maintained. You can prevent this by keeping an eye on maintenance costs and taking action before they pile up and escalate. Being proactive will not only save businesses thousands of dollars but also make it more efficient. A well-maintained vehicle burns less fuel, breaks down less often, and helps lower your operating cost. Taking a proactive approach also means you can stop problems in their tracks before they snowball into safety hazards. Fleet management can be done today in many ways to keep fleets efficient and upkeep an efficient fleet operation all around.

Here are tips that will help you manage your fleet maintenance more effectively.

• Regular Driver Reports

Think of maintenance as a rotating job, rather than something confined to set dates. Alongside regular inspections, you should be communicating as often as possible with your drivers. After all, they spend more time with the vehicles than anyone else does. Drivers can develop a set of best practices and form productive working relationships with you and the maintenance team or contractor.

• Invest in Fleet Telematics

Investing in telematics tools and tech can help you gain a competitive edge. In fact, according to one report, fleet management data can increase productivity by up to 15%. Financial savings also increase, with about 55% of survey respondents reporting reduced fuel expenditure of up to 10%. It notifies fleet managers of things like vehicle-damaging driving and issues warnings to individual drivers automatically. Telematics allows you to stay on top of all maintenance needs and makes scheduling and keeping track of maintenance tasks much easier. Plus, when you go digital you can get automatic alerts informing you of needed maintenance for your fleet.

• Preventive Maintenance

Properly maintained vehicles reduce unscheduled repairs and downtime. Preventive maintenance may include oil changes, tire rotation/inspection and general safety vehicle inspections. Preventative inspection and maintenance is vital to cut down on impromptu repairs and downtime for your vehicles. A great way to make the vehicle inspection process efficient is to have a maintenance checklist that your drivers or head of maintenance complete at the chosen times.

• Regular Vehicle Inspections

Monitoring the day-to-day activities of the fleet allows us to optimize its operation, this includes the work cycle, fleet routes, fuel efficiency, maintenance frequency, productivity and all sorts of activities relating to fleet operation. Regularly checking tire pressure is especially important, as it affects just about every aspect of a vehicle fleet’s operations, from driver safety to fuel mileage. Fleet managers should keep a tab on how temperature changes can cause fluctuations in tire pressure, and regularly check the tread depth on tires for signs of excessive wear and tear.

Final Words

Effective fleet maintenance is a productive practice for keeping enterprises on a roll. Though it is a mundane task demanding day-to-day attention it cannot be neglected. Keeping fleets ready for trips, helps enterprises optimize time as well as productivity. The time you spend now to develop your fleet’s preventive maintenance plan could save your company a considerable amount of lost time in the future. In addition, the money you spend on implementing a preventive maintenance plan will be small in comparison to maintenance costs associated with unscheduled, preventable repairs.

The Game Changing Benefits of ELD

Electronic Logging device mandate was designed to keep drivers and others on the road safe. All drivers and carriers subject to the rule must use self-certified ELDs that are registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Truck drivers have been required to keep an ELD in their cabins to ensure they follow a pre-existing law that limits truckers to driving 11 hours in a 14-hour window. The trucking industry has been recently dominated by a lack of technology, truckers logged their hours with paper logs until the ELD law came into effect. Though ELD is of great help, fleet managers and truck drivers may still be struggling to curb their old ways of manually logging Hours of Service (HOS) or not fully understand the impact these telematics devices can have on their operations. ELDs were primarily introduced for compliance with the FMCSA’s final ELD rule, but with advanced telematic solutions, they are now much more powerful and serve many different purposes.

ELD brings a host of benefits for drivers, dispatchers, and fleet managers. These benefits go beyond mere compliance with the law.

Increased Safety and Compliance

According to an estimate by FMCSA, ELDs will help save 26 lives and prevent 562 injuries every year. Making fleets with ELD safer than fleets without one. Report on driver behavior such as speeding, harsh braking, idling and utilization of the vehicle will allow fleet managers to monitor driving trends increasing the safety of drivers.

Tracking and Route Optimization

ELD allows fleet managers to track and monitor their vehicle and give them real time visibility while improving productivity. Detailed report on fleet location and trip history enables fleet managers and drivers to plan out the shortest route. Better route optimization not only streamlines operations but it also helps fuel saving while increasing the productivity and reducing operational costs.

Vehicle Diagnostics

ELD provides real-time and retrospective reporting on fuel, carbon, odometer, and fault codes. This allows fleet owners to plan the vehicle maintenance plans and helps avoid sudden downtimes due to unforeseen vehicle problems. Details report on fault code detection and real time alerts on vehicle issues keeps you ahead of any vehicle maintenance issues.

IFTA Compliance

According to the International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA ) fleets that operate in more than one jurisdiction need to file a quarterly fuel tax report detailing fuel use in each state. ELD simplifies IFTA calculation as it captures the IFTA data, automates the calculation process and creates the reports saving thousands of dollars, time and reduced operational cost. Furthermore, automated IFTA reports with no errors or inconsistencies also reduce audit risk

Identifying Bad Driving Behavior

Identifying bad driving behaviors, such as excess acceleration, hard braking and cornering is one of the major benefits of ELD. When Fleet managers have data on driver’s driving behavior they can help them improve their driving performance. Identifying high-risk drivers reduces the number of potential accidents and liabilities. Without electronic logging devices, it was difficult to efficiently track and gather this information.

A good ELD system goes far beyond just ticking the legislation compliance box for the now regulated ELD mandate. It also identifies other areas in which fleets can become safer and more efficient. ELDs, or electronic logging devices, can help fleets streamline their operations, increase productivity, maximize profits, and explore new business opportunities by getting more efficient as what they do. Additionally, with all the information that ELDs gather, trucking companies can grow at a much faster pace. After all, the right set of data helps you explore growth opportunities.

Minimizing Downtime With Predictive Maintenance

Predictive maintenance uses real-time data to inform fleet managers which parts on a vehicle are likely to fail, possibly even weeks before the failure is likely to happen. In the long term, predictive maintenance can extend the vehicle life span and help managers ensure that they have an adequate fleet capacity. Fleet managers are turning towards predictive analytics to stay on top of maintenance and mitigate part failures before they can occur. However, managing the large amount of new data generated by vehicle sensors is challenging.

Tangerine’s Solution for Predictive Maintenance

Tangerine’s AI integrated platform for fleet maintenance can build predictions based on direct measurements of equipment. This platform also provides contextual data like weather conditions, traffic, road quality, and driver behavior. The most important and an illustrative difference between a fleet preventive maintenance program and predictive maintenance is a paradigm shift from assumptions and strict scheduling to data-driven decisions and real-time fleet monitoring.Tangerine uses AI to improve many aspects of fleet maintenance, be it reducing unplanned downtime or increasing efficiency in the maintenance and repair process.

Get preventive and predictive maintenance information for each asset to track maintenance services and understand RUL. Keep tabs on everything from required repairs to scheduled services and daily inspections to keep assets at their highest performance levels. Monitor vehicle issues by capturing DTCs for both OBD II and J1939 protocols. Avoiding Vehicle Downtime

Any organization that relies on vehicles in daily operations understands how critical it is to keep them up and running. By outfitting vehicles with sensors, maintenance crews can collect useful information that helps them predict part failures on a large fleet. However, analyzing and managing this volume of new data can be overwhelming. Many organizations are moving towards ways to run analytics at the edge, on the device at the gateway level, as part of end-to-end fleet management.

Advanced Technologies Behind Fleet Maintenance

Artificial intelligence plays a critical role in building predictions based on collected telematics data. To process the data analytics and deliver fast alerts, predictive fleet vehicle maintenance platform relies on cloud computing and provides contextual data. Finally, the service and fleet managers must receive easy-to-use reports and be ready with all the tools at hand to plan relevant equipment maintenance.

Telematics Data Collection

By turning to telematics data, most fleet companies can shift from reactive to preventive measures. By doing so, it helps fleet managers address small problems before they become critical to address. Connected IoT sensors can provide real-time data on vehicle parts and send Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) to track mechanical failures in real time while fleet management platforms use this data for analytics and predictive maintenance planning.

User-friendly and Comprehensive Dashboards

When running AI data analytics for failure prediction,the platform for fleet maintenance must provide a visual representation of data in a consumable form. Dashboards with customizable functionality allows fleet managers to choose what data is the most critical to display,cross-platform accessibility ensures that fleet managers are always connected ,can react to potential issues and monitor fleets from their mobile devices.

Increased Efficiency of Fleets and Drivers

Advanced technologies applied to fleet maintenance improves the entire repair network. Continuously monitoring each fleet vehicle results in individual vehicle profiles, which makes it easier for technicians to perform repairs and take preventive measures to avoid related issues. As a result, the fleets avoid losing their equipment for extended periods to detect all malfunctions while drivers avoid accident incidents on the road.

Final Words

Predictive maintenance helps fleets by reducing vehicle downtime due to avoidable repairs. In addition, vehicles can be utilized more efficiently because maintenance is planned only when it’s required. With a pre-trip inspection and a preventative maintenance program, fleet managers can schedule maintenance based on accurate diagnostics and vehicle usage information and reduce unnecessary cost, fleet downtime, and jeopardy to the public safety. As vehicles with less use do not require as many maintenance stops, the availability of assets increases while losses due to unnecessary maintenance are minimized. Establishing thresholds of use for each asset and monitoring how close a vehicle gets to those thresholds makes outcomes more predictable and enables timely actions.
