Innovative use of telematics data to improve
traffic flow, optimize fleet efficiency, and enhance public safety
in Charleston County
LAS
VEGAS, July 11, 2024 /CNW/ - Geotab Inc.
("Geotab"), a global leader in connected vehicle and asset
management solutions, today announced a partnership with
Charleston County, South Carolina.
This collaboration aims to leverage telematics data to help the
county transform traffic management, optimize fuel tax rebates, and
enhance safety and emergency response times, setting a new standard
for public sector fleet management.
"Telematics data enhances fleet management. By monitoring and
analyzing real-time data from fleet vehicles, our technology can
help Charleston County implement
data-driven strategies that benefit fleet operations and the
broader community," said Neil
Garrett, AVP Public Sector at Geotab.
Charleston County will utilize
Geotab's telematics data to analyze real-time traffic patterns. By
implementing data-driven strategies, the county plans to optimize
routes, help reduce gridlock, shorten travel times, and improve
overall traffic flow. These measures aim to benefit fleet
operations and help alleviate city-wide traffic congestion, making
commutes smoother for residents.
In addition, Power Take-Off ("PTO") systems are essential for
many Charleston County Public Works vehicles, allowing them to
power auxiliary equipment such as cranes, spreaders, and hydraulic
systems. By accurately measuring and analyzing PTO data through
Geotab's system, the Public Works fleet manager can optimize
vehicle usage and enhance overall performance, increasing
efficiency and cost savings.
Other benefits include access to analytics such as fuel
consumption and vehicle mileage, which can help Charleston County optimize fleet efficiency
and reduce operational costs. The data provides valuable insights
that help in planning and decision-making, ensuring that the county
meets its sustainability goals and improves service delivery to the
community.
"Charleston County has
forward-thinking, data-driven fleet managers who constantly look
for ways to improve their service to the county. It is exciting to
work with a group that turns to data insights to address challenges
and meet goals," said Garrett.
With over one million subscriptions, Geotab is a trusted partner
of public sector customers at all agency levels. In 2019 Geotab was
awarded the world's largest telematics contract by the General
Services Administration (GSA). After an extensive re-solicitation
process earlier this year, GSA reaffirmed its trust in Geotab to
support the optimization of its fleet. The company's robust
security measures are verified by FedRAMP and ISO 27001
certifications for its telematics platform.
