Prevent Collisions & Reduce Toll Violations with New AI Fleet Tech

00:00 This week’s CCJ Tech Shorts features new AI-powered driver safety capabilities, a partnership that expands access to a toll analytics and reporting tool and more.

00:21 Fleet management and driver safety platform Motive has unveiled new AI models to help prevent collisions.

These new capabilities include lane swerving detection, smoking detection and forward parking detection.

The repeated lane swerving detection flags three or more swerves in five minutes at speeds above 50 miles per hour and compiles them into a single, clear safety event timeline to give managers a holistic look at repeated risky behavior in a short window.

Smoking detection detects when a cigarette is in hand or mouth for more than five seconds and sends immediate in-cab alerts to the driver.

Forward parking detection flags when a vehicle reverses out of a spot after parking head-first to help reduce low-speed collisions.

01:04 Fleetworthy, a technology suite that unifies safety, compliance, toll management and weigh station bypass, has integrated with Platform Science to expand access to its Toll Genius solution for fleets using both Bestpass and Platform Science ELDs.

Toll Genius is a toll analytics and reporting capability that overlays Bestpass toll data with GPS and vehicle telematics information. Through the new integration with Platform Science, even more fleets can now access AI-powered insights that help detect toll anomalies, reduce violations, and improve overall toll management accuracy.

This integration provides toll match, toll discrepancy and smart fleet match reports. It also provides interactive map views to pinpoint geographic patterns and investigate vehicle movement alongside toll events and custom filters and date ranges, allowing a view of toll activity by vehicle, cost center, or custom time ranges to improve budgeting, financial oversight and dispute resolution.

02:01 Transport Capacity Services (TCS), a multi-modal transportation and cross-border solutions provider, has opened a new office in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico, to enhance its ability to deliver efficient, reliable and technology-driven freight solutions between and within the U.S. and Mexico.

TCS leverages deep expertise, technology and an extensive network of trusted carriers to simplify cross-border operations. The company helps shippers navigate regulatory and operational challenges while improving compliance, efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

02:34 Fleet management and fleet leasing solutions provider Merchants Fleet has partnered with Cognizant to modernize its business processes across sales, fleet operations and customer service with a goal to streamline its operations and create greater efficiency.

Cognizant is combining AI-powered automation and predictive analytics to reimagine Merchants Fleet's systems and is leveraging generative AI to accelerate development cycles.

This partnership reflects a broader industry shift toward integrated tech platforms that address persistent challenges such as billing and payment complications, slow repair turnaround, and limited visibility into vehicle performance. The fleet management industry is undergoing rapid transformation, with organizations seeking to modernize legacy systems and harness AI for predictive maintenance, supply-demand forecasting and customer experience optimization.
