Bridgestone’s fleet management solution Webfleet is debuting its new AI Assistant at IAA Transportation 2024, which uses artificial intelligence to allow operators to interact with their fleet data. 

The Webfleet AI Assistant, which uses GenAI technology, is being launched as a beta project and will collaborate with customers to develop the solution.

The beta project will first focus on the Webfleet OptiDrive solution to provide Webfleet customers with feedback based on precise answers to driving behaviour challenges.

The AI tool delivers real-time and historical data about key fleet performance indicators, including fuel and energy consumption, and driving events such as idling, speeding and harsh braking.

Fleet managers can type prompts asking, for example: ‘Give me the statistics for all driving time and total mileage for my drivers, aggregated for the last five months,’ or ‘What is the fuel consumption trend over the last three months?’ and get precise overviews in seconds. They can also access pre-defined prompts and suggested follow-up questions.

Data security is a high priority, with the Webfleet fleet management software being ISO 27001 certified. fulfilling the highest industry standard for data security, quality and availability. Data from the Webfleet AI Assistant on OptiDrive is kept within the Webfleet environment protecting sensitive fleet data.

Raghunath Banerjee, Bridgestone Mobility Solutions vice president of data solutions, said: “We are happy to show the first demo of the Webfleet AI Assistant at IAA Transportation 2024, which will be a game changer for fleet management.

“As fleet vehicles and assets are creating more and more connected data, our job is to provide actionable insights to fleet decision makers in an easy and fast way. Our new AI Assistant is doing that with the simplicity of an intuitive AI - by directly interacting with their data and asking questions, fleet customers can take data-driven actions faster and with more clarity to improve their operations.”

Bridgestone said the Webfleet AI Assistant is available for testing for selected Webfleet customers.
