Bluetooth technology is revolutionizing the way fleets manage their vehicles.
With the help of Bluetooth sensors, trucking operations can monitor their vehicles in real-time, improving efficiency and safety on the road. With an ELD in the vehicle, the Bluetooth-based alerts can be sent directly to the driver’s tablet. Let’s explore the top Bluetooth sensors used in trucks and trailers.
HERE ARE THE 5 TOP BLUETOOTH SENSORS OPTIMIZING FLEET DATA
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensors: TPMS sensors monitor the tire pressure of each tire on a truck or trailer and alert the driver if the pressure falls below a certain level. This helps to prevent tire failure and increase fuel efficiency. Bluetooth TPMS sensors are easy to install and provide real-time monitoring for all the tires.
Tire and Wheel Sensors: By tracking the temperature and vibration of wheel hubs on trucks and trailers, machine learning algorithms can detect damaged or low-pressure tires, bearing wear, brake issues, and wheel imbalance. This information can be used to prevent serious accidents before they happen by providing real-time updates to fleet managers and drivers.
Trailer Monitoring Sensors: Trailer monitoring sensors provide real-time information about the load on a trailer, including weight, temperature, humidity, and doors. This information can be used to optimize the load and prevent overloading, which can cause damage to the trailer and the load.
Fuel Monitoring Sensors: Bluetooth sensors can be a vital part of a fuel monitoring system providing real-time information about the fuel level in a truck or trailer. This information can be used to optimize fuel consumption and reduce waste. Bluetooth fuel monitoring sensors can alert drivers when the fuel level is low or when there is a sudden change in fuel consumption.
Driver Fatigue Sensors: Some driver fatigue sensors use Bluetooth to monitor the driver’s biometric data. This data is used to determine if a driver is becoming fatigued, and if so, an alarm can be triggered to alert the driver to take a break.
Bluetooth sensors play a crucial role in improving the efficiency and safety of heavy-duty trucks and trailers. They are easy to install, making them cost-effective to deploy and use. With real-time monitoring and alerts, drivers and fleets can make informed decisions that can increase profits, reduce costs, and improve safety on the road.
