Fleet control systems have been on the rise, with the entire industry valued at $19.47 billion in 2020.
The growing popularity can be attributed to user satisfaction, 42% of users report fewer safety incidents since introducing fleet tracking software. A reduction of 22.2% of crashes was reported when AI was implemented in route planning.
Autro Platform Intelligence provides security to users through cloud/private-network hosting, by preventing unauthorised vehicle usage with face iD, immobilising vehicles in case of misuse and incidental video recording.
It can track real-time surveillance on a single interface and receive emergency alerts, route deviation alerts, over-speeding and hard-driving alerts and run vehicle diagnostics via the dashboard.
Finally, it can monitor and respond to any developments throughout a vehicle's journey.
