IoT: Best Bet for Transportation Industry

by Biz4 Intellia IoT Solutions

With growing urbanization, our lifestyle is getting tangled into different forms of complexities. Transporting oneself to and from from office and home is an issue in itself. To help ease this burden, public transportation plays a key role. Alas, personal or public, transportation sector in itself is facing multiple issues to ensure seamless execution. In this digital world, the one who has been fixing everything requires fixing at times. The smart operations of the transportation industry, on a broader term refers to the safety of drivers, timely delivery shipments, availability of vehicles on need and more. Transportation includes regional airlines, railroads and shipping firms. Additionally, ocean freight haulers, trucking and firms too. They are indirectly related to transportation such as Supply Chain Management Firms and other Logistics providers.

Transportation: The Advantageous and Adverse

It is true that transportation solves everyday situations faster for the society. But on the flip side, deaths due to rash driving, traffic accidents are common. To top it all, pollution caused by vehicles harm us and the environment constantly. To top it all, lot of road space is eaten up by the wrongful parking and vehicles that do not follow lane rules. This heavy load of the vehicles, damages the roads. Hard earned money of the tax payers is wasted in the upkeep of the damaged roads.

In order to flaunt their wealth, many buy multiple vehicles. This causes additional parking issues. While the government has been trying their level best to curb these issues, the solution for the same is a distant reality.

The huge fleet of vehicles on road have made noise pollution a nightmare. To top it all, cases of high stress levels, hypertension, depression, sleep disturbances and an increase in incidences of heart attack is being traced in individuals.

What problems does the Transportation Industry face?

Different industries invest in transportation to meet their goals. This makes the entire transportation sector one of the busiest of industries. Society as we know it now revolves around one or another mode of transportation. Logistic issues such as driver shortage, driver retention, business process implementation, excessive fuel costs, unnecessary trips, delayed shipment, vehicle break down and to name a few. In order to transform these weaknesses into our strengths, these flaws must be addressed. sector to be bogged down by the above-mentioned complications requires immediate action.

How to overcome such situations?

It is not an easy task to regulate the operations of the transportation industry. Thus, by adopting the intelligent IoT solutions, things could be made easy. IoT is a network of interconnected computer devices that are embedded in various objects, ranging from mobile devices and household appliances to vehicles and even architectural structures. In transportation industry, IoT has contributed in the form of smart roads, traffic management, safer fleet management and more. On demand ride services, road safety for drivers, vehicle tracking, route planning and geo fencing are included. There are several IoT service provides these days, but Intellia IoT solutions are unique and affordable. Let’s explore what they provide.

The game changer for the Transportation Industry

Freight monitoring, average speed, location track, humidity temperature, pressure weight and more require timely revision for successful transportation. Experiencing smarter ways for fleet management is something that Intellia IoT excels at.

1. Vehicle Tracking & Route Management

Route Management: This solution is an administrative practice of implementing the best efficiencies from fleet operations. Route management solution can incorporate route optimization software as a part of an overall solution.

Vehicle Tracking: Happens through monitoring the moving vehicle’s location through GPS system. This is widely deployed to trace the optimal usage of truck fleets/vehicles. This activity ensures optimal usage of the vehicles. Recovering stolen trucks also gets easier.

Driver’s Activity Monitoring: It is crucial to understand whether the driver is active with the fleet or not. Several delays take place due to the driver’s leisure and laziness. This is not the only reason for this feature. A driver might not feel well, lose conscious due to an accident or feel fatigue. This monitoring solution will send an immediate alert, indicating the danger hovering over the driver.

Vehicle and Good’s Management: Successfully delivers a scheduled, prepared and fully compliant program. In case of a vehicle break down, this solution will provide an alert beforehand only. In case of theft of goods, an immediate alert will be sent to the owner.

2. Truck/Trailer Weight Measurement

Maximize the Payload: When it comes to the limits of what your vehicle can handle, payload is everything. Exceeding payload capacity without any threat to the driver’s welfare is now possible.

Eliminate Guesswork: Guesswork is all about estimating something without knowing the actual facts or information. In transportation, hard cold logic takes over guesswork of fleet delivery timing, fleet health and driver’s safety.

Plug Profit Leaks: Identifies the leaks through which profit flows away. Unnecessary use of vehicle, underutilization of driver hours and delayed delivery are some of the causes of profit leaks.

Last Mile Transportation

Vehicle Trip Management: Tracing the number of trips taken by a vehicle in a specified time frame is crucial. This helps in the better identification and elimination of the unnecessary trips for the fleet.

Mobile Proof of Delivery: Keeps a digital proof of the delivery. Both the consignor and the consignee get an alert regarding the delivery process.

Vehicle Route Planning: Avoiding routes that are long and bumpy is now possible with this solution. Shortest routes will make delivery easier.

Stay Connected to the Customers: Businesses lose out on profits due to lack of customer connections. This enables the customers and businesses owners to stay connected through every stage of the transportation process.
