How Technology is Transforming Auto Transport

Over recent decades, technology has revolutionized practically every aspect of our lives. The transportation sector is no exception, and auto transport, in particular, has benefited from automation and technological advances.

Once a highly labor-intensive and time-consuming process, the movement of vehicles has become slicker and more cost effective thanks to a range of tech innovations. These include the following:

  • Vehicle tracking and monitoring, using GPS systems to provide real-time information on the precise location of vehicles.
  • Digital documentation, allowing quick, easy and paper-free administration that can be conducted on mobile devices.
  • Automated routing and dispatch to maximize efficiency and streamline routing, taking into account ever-changing conditions such as weather or traffic conditions.
  • Online quotes and booking to allow customers to view and compare prices in seconds without the need for telephone calls or physical paperwork.
  • Mobile apps for enhanced customer engagement and satisfaction.
  • Predictive data analysis to forecast demand and optimize resource allocation.
  • Integration with vehicle telematics for better safety and to improve driver behavior.

Technology and automation have transformed car transportation logistics, and there are new advances every day. We have gathered input from a range of experts to get their views on the impact of technology on the sector, both now and in the future.

Technology Will Change Auto Transport

What is the impact of big data on vehicle transportation?

Data can help optimize the dispatching of vehicles to ensure availability and timeliness. Data can allow the prediction of estimated arrival times of shipment and can automate the schedule and dispatch of land vehicles. Enriching data with information on route traffic situations and weather can further improve the efficiency and accuracy of scheduling. Gabriel Valmonte, Senior Marketing Manager at Monsterlab

Does AI have a role to play in vehicle logistics?

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) brings with it significant potential for the transport and logistics industry to revolutionize defunct processes, boost innovation in seemingly stagnant areas, and maneuver skilfully through the transition to a sustainable future. It offers the opportunity to transform all aspects of the transport system and tackle its biggest challenges. Examples include improving route planning, understanding the travel needs of people and businesses, predicting breakdowns, better forecasting and planning and simplifying paperwork.
