Data Intelligence: Fleet Data into Insights

Your fleet generates massive amounts of data every day. The key is transforming that data into actionable intelligence for better decisions.

From Data to Intelligence

The Data Journey

Raw Data → Information → Knowledge → Intelligence → Action

Stage	Example
Raw Data	GPS coordinates every 30 seconds
Information	Vehicle traveled 150km today
Knowledge	Vehicle uses more fuel on Route A
Intelligence	Switching to Route B saves 15% fuel
Action	Update route assignments

Why It Matters

• Better decisions: Based on facts, not assumptions
• Cost savings: Identify inefficiencies
• Proactive management: Anticipate issues
• Competitive advantage: Optimize operations

Key Fleet Metrics

Operational KPIs

KPI	What It Tells You
Vehicle utilization	Asset efficiency
Idle time	Wasted fuel/time
Route efficiency	Planning effectiveness
On-time performance	Service quality

Cost KPIs

KPI	What It Tells You
Cost per km/mile	Operating efficiency
Fuel consumption	Energy efficiency
Maintenance cost	Vehicle health
TCO (Total Cost of Ownership)	True vehicle cost

Safety KPIs

KPI	What It Tells You
Harsh events	Driving behavior
Speed violations	Policy compliance
Incident rate	Risk level
Seatbelt compliance	Safety culture

Building Intelligence

Data Collection

Capture comprehensive data:

• Location: GPS positions, geofence events
• Vehicle: Speed, fuel, engine data (CANBUS)
• Driver: Behavior, identification, hours
• Environment: Temperature, cargo status

Data Quality

Ensure reliable intelligence:

• Accuracy: Calibrated sensors
• Completeness: No gaps in data
• Timeliness: Real-time where needed
• Consistency: Standardized formats

Analysis Methods

Method	Application
Descriptive	What happened?
Diagnostic	Why did it happen?
Predictive	What will happen?
Prescriptive	What should we do?

Practical Applications

Fuel Optimization

Use data to reduce fuel costs:

1. Identify high-consumption vehicles
2. Analyze driving patterns
3. Compare routes
4. Track improvements

Maintenance Planning

Data-driven maintenance:

1. Monitor engine parameters
2. Track usage patterns
3. Predict service needs
4. Optimize scheduling

Driver Performance

Improve through data:

1. Score driving behavior
2. Identify training needs
3. Recognize good performance
4. Track improvement over time

Route Optimization

Smarter routing decisions:

1. Analyze historical patterns
2. Identify inefficiencies
3. Test alternatives
4. Measure results

Dashboards and Reporting

Effective Dashboards

Design for action:

• Clear visuals: Easy to understand
• Key metrics: Focus on what matters
• Trends: Show changes over time
• Drill-down: Access details when needed

Report Types

Report	Audience	Frequency
Executive summary	Management	Weekly/Monthly
Operational detail	Supervisors	Daily
Driver scorecard	Drivers	Weekly
Exception alerts	Operations	Real-time
