\nWhen it comes to fleet management, telematics is a new system that can become extremely helpful. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

It is a mix of sciences such as telecommunications, electrical engineering, computer sciences, vehicular technologies, and tracking technologies. If you are not very familiar with the term or with <\/span>how telematics can help your business<\/span><\/a>, keep reading this essential guide.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Definition<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Telematics allows you to collect data from an asset, such as a truck and helps you record the information about that asset. Information includes GPS location, average speed, idle time, fuel usage, acceleration, tire pressure, battery life, and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The data is captured either by a cellular network, internet connection or through satellite communication and sent to a readable computer system in real-time. The data received allows managers to get a better understanding of the performance and overall state of the asset. This results in better logistics operations and improved management.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How Does Telematics Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A telematics system involves a tracking device, a computer system, and a communication network. It is pretty simple:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • First, a vehicle tracking device is installed on a vehicle. The device is used to send, receive, and store data regarding the vehicle.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Then, the data or information acquired is sent via a satellite or cellular.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • The information is sent to a server that will interpret and further analyze the data.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • This information is then sent to a computer system used by the fleet manager in real-time.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

     <\/p>\n

    How Can Telematics Help Your Business?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Any business dealing with a fleet of vehicles can benefit from telematics. Examples of businesses that might need a telematics system are food companies, construction businesses, and waste management companies. There are several advantages of adopting a telematics system, including:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Improved Fuel Consumption<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Telematics can help your business to keep track of the fuel costs and to optimize the route followed by the trucks. You can use telematics to avoid traffic and reduce waste. This will allow you to find the best routes and to ensure the on-time delivery of your products.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Improved Productivity<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        By receiving information on drivers’ performance, managers can track idle time and call out drivers who are taking inefficient routes or displaying risky behaviors that deviate from the given instructions. You’ll know what is causing delays, which will help you improve the performance of your fleet and optimize the use of your vehicles.<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        • Improved Safety<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Some routes are riskier than others and with a telematics system in place, you’ll be able to know in advance which roads are more prone to accidents on the road. You can schedule your trucks to avoid rush hours or early morning deliveries, to reduce the risk of accidents.<\/span><\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          • Longer Life Of Your Trucks<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Telematics can also help you to track data relative to the status of the tires, battery, and engine of your trucks. This allows you to avoid the occurrence of some major problems that might become very expensive in the long run. With telematics, you can prevent any damage before it happens.<\/span><\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            Where Is Telematics Heading?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

            Telematics is continuously evolving, with better apps, tracking, and data analysis is frequently launched. More and more companies are recognizing the importance and the benefits of adopting this technology, which allows them to control costs, improve productivity, and accountability. Telematics also helps fleet managers to meet government requirements such as the regulations by the Canadian ELD Mandate.<\/span><\/p>\n

            The future of telematics will help drivers and the trucking industry to meet the needs of the industry and to integrate optimized solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n
