Sumit Sharma, co-founder, GoBOLT writes about how AI and ML are influencing the road logistics in terms of safety, tracking real-time behaviors and optimization of trucks and truck drivers.
The Indian roadways industry is also particularly poor when judged against global standards.
It also helps them comply with the higher standard requirement for a professional trucking company.
It is hard to put a number on just how much the trucking sector and drivers contributes to the economy, because its impact reaches far beyond the industry’s own employment and financial contributions to our GDP.
Now, as the demand of logistics companies is growing, the driver’s safety has become a primary concern.
In spite of this, they are paid poorly and not surprisingly there is a growing shortage of drivers.
