Fleet Management Technology Company Monetizes Data and Reduces Risk

Gaining Value From Video Telematics Data

This fleet management safety technology company was seeking to better leverage massive amounts of video telematics data to reduce costs and risks. The company needed a partner that could build a modern data platform, consumable as platform-as-a-service (PaaS).

Challenges

Using video telematics data to:

• Increase driver safety and streamline driver performance assessments.
• Move data storage into the cloud to enhance platform scalability and better enable onboarding new data sources.
• Facilitate handling and gaining insights from large amounts of data.
• Implement a cost-effective data storage analytics-enabled PaaS.
• Enable centralized data governance and datacatalog capabilities.

Value Created

GlobalLogic Data Engineering delivered a solution for descriptive and predictive analytics for video telematics that enables greater insights to enhance driver safety and fleet efficiency. The solution is based on:

• Migration to Amazon Web Services (AWS) 
• Cloud-native AWS marketplace PaaS
• Third-party and custom cloud IaaS 
• A data-versioning framework backed by Apache Spark and Amazon Deequ 
• Low-code/no-code ingestion using open-source tools like Debezium and Kafka
• Built-in security and compliance

Impact

• Maximized asset utilization and reduced fleet maintenance costs.
• Empowered the company to maintain driver safety on the roads.
• Normalized driver risk and vehicle risk based on hours and distance driven.
• Enabled evaluating driver performance in near real-time.
• Improved fuel management for better fuel efficiency.
• Identified opportunity to share trip and vehicle movement data with partners.
• Significantly reduced the time taken to onboard a new data source and enable data ingestion.
• Helped to realize new use cases and stay competitive and meet product scaling demands.
