SCALAR is ZF’s new digital Fleet Orchestration Platform (FOP). It builds on ZF’s world-class experience in delivering advanced fleet management and digital connectivity solutions, as well as in designing autonomous vehicle operation algorithms. SCALAR offers real-time, AI-based automated decision-making and efficiency improvement tools for fleets of human-driven, autonomous as well as mixed vehicles. It supports fleets transporting people or goods.
Driver shortages, energy management and unscheduled vehicle downtimes are just a few of the challenges the global road transportation ecosystem is facing. But the challenges do not stop there. A bewildering array of digital tools, platforms and applications have created a maze of licenses and data silos for fleets to manage. This complexity leads to rising costs, a constant need for more investment in tools and updates. It results in inefficiencies for fleets in their resource planning, vehicle routing and dispatching, and in collecting and processing data for business intelligence.
SCALAR is ZF’s new digital Fleet Orchestration solution that helps fleets solve these challenges in real-time by combining data sources across the transportation process. The AI-based, self-learning algorithm system ensures that changes in one variable automatically readjust other variables to reach the desired outcomes – the best possible journeys for the best possible business margins. SCALAR prepares fleets for the future of road transportation. ACE (Autonomous, Connected, and Electric) vehicles will increasingly share the roads with conventional, human-driven vehicles with internal combustion engines. As a result, the need for optimized road transport will accelerate.
SCALAR helps fleets address the 4 key questions in any transportation situation:
The SCALAR Fleet Orchestration Platform is a digital solution that automatically optimizes planning, routing, dispatching, field service management, and more. It helps fleets ensure they send the right vehicle to the right place at the right time, in real time. This is achieved via an arrangement of advanced algorithms that combine dynamic optimization and machine learning, which helps fleets to:
With SCALAR, customers can increase the profitability of their fleets by finding optimal vehicle routes and schedules, reducing deadheading and improving on-time vehicle arrivals, thus supporting mobility providers in the reduction of their environmental impact on cities and communities.
