AI-powered predictive telematics launched

-

AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGEN­CEbased predictive telematics platform that Teletrac Navman says will “revolution­ise the mobile asset and fleet management market,” has been launched here.

Its next-generation TN360 solution “delivers telematics functional­ities in real-time, providing businesses with simplified, smart, predictive and actionable insights.

“The digital transforma­tion of the mobile asset and fleet management space has only just begun,” says Teletrac Navman president Jens Meggers.

“Artificial intelligen­ce, scalable cloud technology, real-time computer vision sensors and easy-to-use smart data analysis are completely changing the telematics market. We are at a pivotal step in the industry – digitising vertical industries unlike any time before.”

Teletrac Navman explains that traditiona­l telematics systems rely mostly on GPS and motion sensors as they collect a narrow set of data-points, centred on location, diagnostic­s and routing: “These systems process linear calculatio­ns and produce important but limited feedback.”

On the other hand, “TN360 uses a scalable cloud ecosystem that connects data from sensors, cameras, mobile and third-party applicatio­ns in real time and translates raw signals into context.”

It says that the ability to capture, connect, and process robust amounts of data with immediacy “will transform telematics from a two-dimensiona­l map applicatio­n to a powerful real-time sensor network producing insights for a three-dimensiona­l world.

“While previous generation­s of telematics platforms aimed at eliminatin­g paper-based reporting and processes, they required users to spend an excessive amount of time analysing digital reports to identify opportunit­ies for improvemen­t.

“Through AI, TN360 removes that analysis period for its users. It allows managers to take corrective action as soon as impactful outliers occur. The platform enables business operations to recognise patterns of efficiency in order to highlight opportunit­ies in areas like route planning, logistic workflows, maintenanc­e, driver behaviour, compliance and fuel management.”

Users can quickly receive business intelligen­ce metrics simply by asking a question of TN360’s smart AI engine with voice-command technology, eliminatin­g the challenge of traditiona­l data analytics.

“Our goal is – and always has been – to simplify mobile asset and fleet management for our customers,” says Andrew Rossington, Teletrac Navman’s VP of technology.

The AI technology in TN360 is used “to process the masses of data collected and turn this into real answers. The platform converts data into decisions.”
