Current Situation
Today assigning drivers to vehicles is a very manual process based on a number of constraints such as driver availability, hours of service, and certifications. The current process can also expose truck/fleet operators to increased fines.
Goals and Objectives
The goal of this use case is to reduce time in transit and operating costs by automating the process of assigning drivers to vehicles based on predefined rules in combination with routing and load optimization.
Technology Deployed
Fleet management, route optimization, vehicle tracking, mobile, IoT, electronic load devices, and transportation management systems
Use Case Summary
Fleet operators and dispatch can efficiently manage pickup and deliveries while maximizing fleet assets. There is visibility to both outbound deliveries and inbound pickups for “smarter” milk runs and increased round trips (head-haul + back-haul).
