AI: Driving Sustainability in IoT-Connected Fleets

This IDC Market Perspective addresses the key drivers for this opportunity and the role technology players such as Geotab and SwitchFleet can play as part of solutions deployed by CSPs. The advent of Internet-of-Things (IoT) technology has revolutionized the way businesses operate, offering unprecedented opportunities for data collection and analysis. IoT telemetry data encompasses a wide range of information, including vehicle location, driving patterns, fuel consumption, and engine diagnostics. Telemetry data — together with AI — can play a key role in optimizing fleet energy consumption, transition to electric vehicles, and decrease environmental impact. "Fleet management and the transition to electric vehicles is a mature market that has the potential to add additional value through AI. But for that to happen, solution providers should use datasets to train the predictive models," said Alejandro Cadenas, Associate VP of Telco Mobility Research, IDC EMEA. "Such large datasets are difficult and time-consuming to produce, so CSPs should partner with key companies that have been capturing such information for some time and develop solutions based on that data."
