Course modules

What we cover, module by module

Module 1: Foundations of Fleet Management and Telematics

  • Introduction to key performance indicators (KPIs) in fleet operations.
  • Overview of telematics hardware: GPS, engine control unit (ECU) connections, and sensors.
  • Data collection methodologies and data integrity.
  • Case Study/Hands-on Exercise: Analyze a sample telematics data set to identify the top three underperforming vehicles based on fuel consumption.

Module 2: Data Analytics for Performance Management

  • Interpreting driver behavior reports: speeding, harsh braking, and idling.
  • Calculating total cost of ownership (TCO) per vehicle.
  • Benchmarking fleet performance against industry standards.
  • Case Study/Hands-on Exercise: Create a driver scorecard for a team of 10 drivers using provided telematics data and recommend a coaching plan for the lowest-scoring driver.

Module 3: Predictive Maintenance and Asset Lifecycle

  • Transitioning from reactive to predictive maintenance schedules.
  • Using telematics to forecast component failures (tires, brakes, engines).
  • Optimizing vehicle replacement cycles based on data.
  • Case Study/Hands-on Exercise: Develop a predictive maintenance plan for a fleet of 50 trucks, prioritizing vehicles flagged with high engine idle hours and fault codes.

Module 4: Route Optimization and Dynamic Scheduling

  • Leveraging real-time traffic, weather, and road conditions for route planning.
  • Integrating telematics with Transportation Management Systems (TMS).
  • Strategies for dynamic rerouting to meet service level agreements (SLAs).
  • Case Study/Hands-on Exercise: Re-route a delivery fleet of 15 vehicles after a major highway closure, minimizing delays and fuel costs using a simulation tool.

Module 5: Implementation Strategy and Change Management

  • Developing a business case for telematics investment.
  • Managing organizational change and driver acceptance.
  • Ensuring data security and compliance with privacy regulations.
  • Case Study/Hands-on Exercise: Create a rollout plan for a new telematics system, including a communication strategy to address driver concerns and a timeline for phased implementation.
