SafeRide unveils vInsight Fleet
13/12/2021
SafeRide Technologies, a provider of artificial intelligence (AI)-based vehicle health management (VHM), data analytics and cybersecurity solutions, has unveiled vInsight™ Fleet, an AI-based data analytics solution for commercial fleets. vInsight Fleet is a new addition to SafeRide’s VHM platform. The vInsight platform also includes the vInsight Developer tool, which enables customers to create AI-based VHM algorithms, and the vInsight Edge embedded inferencing engine, which enables efficient execution of vehicle health monitors on board the vehicle.Fleet operational efficiency is impacted by multiple factors, including vehicle health conditions, driver behaviour, drive cycle, mission planning and more. Although ample data is available to fleet managers, the complex relationships between these factors make it difficult to identify, isolate and prioritise the contributing factors and drive effective actions. Generating actionable insights often requires manual analysis of reports by experienced individuals, which delivers limited results.
Existing fleet management solutions use telematics data to track each vehicle’s location, fuel use, engine status and driver behaviour to make sure that rules are followed and best practices are kept. They also interpret diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) to initiate repairs and create maintenance reminders based on mileage and hours of service.
These capabilities are primarily reactive and inefficiently preventative.
vInsight Fleet uses state-of-the-art machine learning and deep learning technology to learn the complex relationships between multiple contributing factors within the vehicle and across the fleet by utilising telematics data and vehicle health indicators that are proactively generated by the vInsight platform. The AI identifies and isolates factors that impact operational efficiency, fuel consumption and maintenance costs. SafeRide’s AI technology advances fleet management with predictive capabilities and operational insights that were not previously available. It helps to reduce maintenance costs, minimise diagnostic and repair time, optimise fuel consumption, mitigate roadside repairs and minimise downtime.
SafeRide also announced a partnership with Traffilog, a leading provider of telematics, advanced diagnostics and predictive maintenance services for commercial fleets. Traffilog will integrate SafeRide’s new solution to provide its fleet customers with cutting-edge advancements in predictive maintenance and fleet operational efficiency.
“Traffilog’s advanced telematics and data acquisition capabilities provide access to valuable vehicle data,” said Yossi Vardi, SafeRide’s CEO and Co-Founder. “Integrating SafeRide’s deep learning and big data analytics technology together with Traffilog’s platform enables us to deliver best-in-class diagnostics and predictive maintenance services to commercial fleets worldwide.”
“SafeRide’s deep learning technology enables us to further increase the value we deliver to our fleet customers,” said Erez Lorber, CEO of Traffilog. “Integrating vInsight Fleet into our platform provides our customers with unprecedented capabilities to optimise their fleet’s performance and reduce their vehicles’ total cost of ownership.”
vInsight Fleet integrates with telematics and fleet management solutions using open application programming interfaces (APIs), which enable the use of data from multiple sources and the delivery of insights to each fleet’s preferred management system. The vInsight Fleet software can run on a public or private cloud or on premises.
