For fleets, embracing AI is no longer optional, it is essential. Artificial intelligence is turning fleet management from a labour-intensive task into a streamlined, insight-driven process.
At MICHELIN Connected Fleet, we have positioned ourselves at the forefront of AI in fleet management in order to help businesses make smarter, faster decision-making and maintain their competitiveness.
Because AI is still relatively new to the transport and logistics industry, we recognise that a clear understanding of its applications can make all the difference. In this article, we’ll go into exactly how our team of experts integrate AI into your fleet operations.
How We Help You Avoid Downtime
Unplanned downtime can severely impact productivity across fleet operations, and more often than not, it stems from a reactive approach to vehicle maintenance. As such, we take a proactive stance, leveraging AI-driven predictive analytics to transform a necessity into a strategic advantage.
Our fleet management software continuously analyses both historical and real-time data to detect early signs of issues. These insights allow you to plan predictive maintenance schedules, decreasing the risk of unexpected breakdowns, avoiding costly repairs, and extending the overall lifespan and performance of fleet assets.
Knowing the importance of tyre performance here, we have developed dedicated predictive tyre maintenance on the back of this. Through automated alerts on pressure, temperature, and tread wear, you can monitor tyre health in real time, anticipating problems before they escalate and making sure vehicles stay safe, efficient, and reliable.
How We Help You Optimise Routes
Route optimisation is a cornerstone of modern fleet operations, and for good reason. However, it involves much more than simply selecting the shortest path between two points; a truly efficient route must account for a wide range of dynamic factors.
Our software uses AI algorithms to process and interpret vast quantities of fleet data. By recognising patterns and assessing variables such as traffic conditions, weather, road complexity, and proximity to petrol stations and rest areas, you can design routes which go far beyond basic measures of distance and time.
The benefits are clear: optimised routing leads to substantial reductions in fuel consumption and carbon emissions, all while enabling quicker job completion, more accurate ETAs, and stronger sustainability credentials. All of these benefits combine to increase your fleet’s appeal to existing and prospective clients alike.
How We Help You Keep Drivers Safe
While AI in fleet management undoubtedly heightens profitability, its role in driver safety is equally critical. Apart from advancing software capabilities, AI also leads to hardware improvements, as demonstrated by our camera video monitoring.
Our AI dash cams (both front-facing and driver-facing) continuously monitor and analyse live video footage to detect signs of distracted driving, fatigue, and other high-risk behaviours. Through the identification of these risks in real time and issuing of forward collision warnings, you and your drivers are alerted to hazards before incidents can occur.
The recorded footage likewise provides valuable insights which let you address unsafe driving practices effectively. Specifically, it makes it possible to deliver personalised training, tailored to each driver’s needs, helping to cultivate safer driving behaviour across your entire fleet.
