Intel showcased its Onboard Fleet Services (Solution), an AI-powered fleet safety solution for commercial vehicles, at the event. The solution claims to bring road-tested technology exclusively designed for Indian conditions. It offers Collision Avoidance Systems (CAS), Driver Monitoring Systems, fleet telematics, fleet health, and fuel efficiency features. The solution is presently deployed by customers like Sure Group Logistics, Sankyu India Logistics, Allanasons across sectors such as HAZMAT, Cold Chain, Third-Party Logistics (3PL) and Employee Transport.
The solution is powered by a portfolio of in-cabin devices, along with cloud portal that includes insights, analytics, and reports for fleet managers. It includes advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) from Mobileye, a major in AI based Collision Avoidance Systems. Intel says that public sector transport organizations can achieve significant economic benefits via reduced accident compensation payouts by adopting the solution.
