Искусственный интеллект и его влияние на устойчивое развитие в отрасли грузоперевозок

Создано: 29.08.2024

Обновлено: 29.08.2024

Искусственный интеллект (ИИ) - термин, вошедший в современный лексикон в последние годы. Из-за недостаточного понимания и неверных представлений он часто воспринимается негативно. Несмотря на оговорки, ИИ может положительно повлиять на устойчивое развитие, рабочие процессы и экономику. Учитывая, что транспортная отрасль производит более 25 % выбросов CO2, может ли ИИ внести позитивные изменения в устойчивое будущее?

Что такое искусственный интеллект?

Согласно Оксфордским языкам, ИИ - это:

*Теория и разработка компьютерных систем, способных выполнять задачи, обычно требующие человеческого интеллекта, такие как визуальное восприятие, распознавание речи, принятие решений и перевод с одного языка на другой.

Устойчивое развитие в отрасли грузоперевозок

Отрасль находится на перепутье: растут требования и меняются виды доставки - одним из самых быстрорастущих запросов являются онлайн-покупки. Хотя увеличение спроса может принести пользу отрасли грузоперевозок, она сталкивается с экологической дилеммой, которая оказывает жизненно важное влияние на планету.

Промышленность воздействует на окружающую среду следующим образом:

  • Шумовое загрязнение: Большое количество грузовиков может способствовать шумовому загрязнению. Шумовое загрязнение разрушает городские и сельские районы, часто влияя на самочувствие жителей и диких животных. Воздействие высокого уровня шума может привести к стрессу и проблемам с сердечно-сосудистой системой.

  • Выбросы углекислого газа: При использовании традиционных видов топлива в грузовиках в атмосферу выбрасывается CO2. Из общего объема мировых транспортных выбросов 29 % приходится на грузовой транспорт.

  • Качество воздуха: Грузовики выбрасывают оксиды азота и твердые частицы - и то, и другое ухудшает качество воздуха, вредит окружающей среде и приводит к проблемам с дыханием у людей.

Как искусственный интеллект может повысить устойчивость

  • Планирование маршрутов: Неадекватное планирование маршрутов может стоить автопаркам денег, времени и ресурсов. ИИ может точно прогнозировать потребности и требования, рекомендуя наиболее рациональный маршрут. Его алгоритмы могут анализировать схемы движения, погодные условия и эффективность использования топлива, чтобы оптимизировать маршруты доставки. Этот процесс экономит деньги и способствует сокращению выбросов углекислого газа.

  • Прогнозирование потребительского спроса: Часто товары доставляются потребителю, но не востребованы, что приводит к напрасной трате ресурсов и значительному воздействию на окружающую среду. Машинное обучение и предиктивный анализ с помощью ИИ помогут производителям предвидеть спрос, оптимизировать поставки и производственные процессы. Благодаря осмысленному анализу доставки и неполучения товаров ИИ может информировать логистические компании о том, какие товары следует отправлять, решая экологические проблемы на начальном этапе.

  • Мониторинг водителей: Алгоритмы ИИ анализируют поведение водителя, например, превышение скорости, резкое торможение и работу на холостом ходу. На основе этого ИИ может проводить инструктаж и стимулировать водителя к более экономичному вождению.

  • Снижение энергопотребления: ИИ может помочь автопаркам в управлении энергопотреблением в цепочках поставок. Он может выявлять неэффективные области и предлагать стратегии оптимизации, включая анализ данных с интеллектуальных счетчиков, датчиков и других устройств, чтобы определить, что потребляет слишком много энергии.

Захватит ли ИИ логистическую отрасль?

Хотя использование искусственного интеллекта будет играть определенную роль в логистической отрасли, вряд ли он полностью захватит ее. Алгоритмы ИИ не могут учесть спонтанные события и исключения, поэтому участие человека по-прежнему будет играть важную роль. Возможности карьерного роста в сфере грузоперевозок сохранятся, но будут выглядеть совершенно иначе.

Как еще промышленность может сократить выбросы углекислого газа?

Промышленность может принять следующие меры:

  • Транспортные средства с низким уровнем выбросов: Электрические и гибридные грузовые автомобили позволяют сократить выбросы углекислого газа. И те, и другие подходят для перевозок на короткие и дальние расстояния.

  • Альтернативные виды топлива: В связи с приближением Net-Zero 2050 законодательство в области энергетики склоняется в сторону более чистых альтернатив. Гидроочищенное растительное масло (ГРМ) позволяет немедленно и значительно сократить выбросы. Компания Certas Energy HVO стоит за переходом на более чистую альтернативу, помогая предприятиям достичь своих целей в области устойчивого развития и сделать значимые шаги в направлении будущего с нулевым уровнем выбросов. HVO обеспечивает следующие преимущества:

  • Немедленное сокращение до 90% выбросов парниковых газов по сравнению со стандартным дизельным топливом в течение всего жизненного цикла продукта.

  • Меньшее количество оксидов азота по сравнению со стандартным дизельным топливом

  • Меньше твердых частиц, чем в стандартном дизельном топливе

  • Легко поддается биологическому разложению

  • Практически не содержит FAME

  • Альтернативное дизельное топливо - не требует модификации двигателя или инфраструктуры.

  • Эффективность транспортных средств: Экономичные двигатели, сокращение времени простоя и регулярное техническое обслуживание могут повысить эффективность.

  • Умная упаковка: При транспортировке товаров производители могут использовать биоразлагаемые и переработанные материалы - это сокращает количество отходов и снижает расходы. Кроме того, более легкая упаковка повышает эффективность, что приводит к снижению выбросов углекислого газа.

  • Возобновляемые источники энергии: Использование возобновляемых источников энергии, таких как солнечная или ветровая энергия, в производственной деятельности может значительно сократить выбросы углекислого газа.

  • Сокращение пробега в объезд: SNAP Account позволяет менеджерам автопарков сократить пробег в объезд - благодаря наличию более 600 сервисных партнеров, доступных клиентам SNAP Account, на вашем маршруте обязательно найдется остановка.

КАКОВЫ ПОСЛЕДСТВИЯ ВВЕДЕНИЯ ОГРАНИЧЕНИЙ СКОРОСТИ В 20 МИЛЬ В ЧАС ДЛЯ АВТОПАРКОВ?

In 2023, HGVs were involved in collisions that resulted in fatalities, a decline from 2022 but a concerning statistic nonetheless. These accidents could have resulted from several factors, such as driver fatigue, poor vehicle maintenance, weather conditions, or the actions of other road users. However, data from road safety charity Brake suggests that of road-related deaths had speed reported as a road safety factor. In this blog, we'll explore how the implementation of 20mph speed limits could impact fleet operations and lower fatality numbers. According to , only 10% of HGV collisions occurred on a motorway the other 90% were more likely to happen on an urban or rural road. Rural roads present truck drivers with narrow spaces, sharp turns, and interactions with vulnerable road users like cyclists and pedestrians, increasing the likelihood of accidents. Urban areas pose a greater risk for truck drivers due to higher-density traffic, frequent stops, pedestrian activity, and complex road layouts combined with the unpredictability of urban roads makes them more of a hazard for truck drivers. Figures published by the have shown 100 fewer casualties on urban roads in 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 before the 20mph speed limit was enforced in urban areas.The scheme is supported by organisations such as Brake and Cycling UK, and now fleet management specialists are encouraging haulage companies to get behind the scheme. They argue that the shift from 30mph to 20mph will have minimal impact on fleet efficiency and strongly reinforce the idea that it would save lives each year. According to FleetCheck, haulage operators had mixed feelings towards the initiative. Some saw the changes as a hindrance to efficiency arguing that lower speed limits may force some fleets into reducing the number of deliveries they can make in any given period. Drivers on SNAP's social media pages had strong feelings toward the suggestion. One driver commented:"Who is going to back more 20mph zones? The whole standard of driving is the problem. Ever since we came out of lockdown, the standard of driving has been diabolical, that's including cars, vans, and trucks."The sentiment remained the same on socials, with many not supporting the change. Reduced speed zones offer several benefits for truck drivers. • Lower speeds improve reaction times and reduce stopping distances, making it easier to avoid collisions particularly in urban areas.• Trucks are more likely to have less vehicle wear and tear with reduced speed limits. As mentioned, some fleet companies are concerned that lower speed limits could reduce the number of deliveries they could make in any given period. Fleets could also face the following challenges:• affecting time-sensitive deliveries, impacting scheduling and customer expectations.• companies may have to adjust routes to account for slower speeds.• investing in additional driver training to ensure compliance with new speed limits will be crucial. Although these issues can pose additional challenges for fleet companies, many can be managed proactively. Many would argue the long-term safety benefits outweigh the obstacles. In a revisited campaign titled , SNAP identified the most hazardous GB locations. We delve deeper to discover which roads could benefit from a reduced speed limit. SNAP discovered the South East had the most hazardous roads. Kent has the most dangerous roads in Britain and is on the Kent Highway Network by 2050. Which roads are the most concerning?• A short road running for just four miles but was named Britain's highest-risk route in 2018. The report singled out a stretch of the A254 between the junction of the A28 at Margate and the junction with the A255 near Ramsgate. The speed limit on this stretch varies between 30mph and 40mph built-up areas and a heavy traffic flow from the port of Dover make this road particularly dangerous for cyclists, pedestrians, and other road users. Could this stretch of road benefit from slower speed limits?• Notorious for its high accident rates, the A252 runs for 8.7 miles. In 2020, work commenced to reduce the number and severity of accidents, among the changes, a decrease from 60mph to 50mph on this stretch, except where lower limits are in force. However, is this enough to shake off the road's reputation as one of Britain's worst?Surrey and Essex were also at the top of the list and had a combined total of accidents over the last five years. High accident rates in Surrey can be attributed to its mix of populated towns and rural roads. Its closeness to London and major motorways has resulted in more collisions.• Also known as the London Orbital Motorway, the M25 is one of Britain's busiest roads while also being the second-longest ring road in Europe. Between 2007 and 2016, 7,673 accidents and 80 fatalities were reported. As a crucial motorway, speed adjustments as low as 20mph would be ludicrous. However, would the M25 benefit from restricted speed zones?• Running for 67 miles, the A3 can be a challenging road to drive on due to its high traffic volume, speed limits, and sections with poor road conditions. Truck drivers must adhere to strict speed regulations. These restrictions are in place to account for the size, weight, and braking capacity of a truck. • A truck over 7.5 tonnes is limited to a maximum speed of 50mph.• 60mph is the maximum speed limit for a truck over 7.5 tonnes. • Truck drivers must not exceed 60mph on a motorway. In the UK, speed limiter devices must be installed into any truck to cap the maximum speed the vehicle can travel. • All trucks over 3.5 tonnes must have a speed limiter set to 56 mph. • Speed limiters limit the fuel supplied to the engine once the vehicle reaches a preset speed ensuring drivers cannot exceed the limit.A private truck does not require a speed limiter unless it is being used for commercial purposes. You must declare if your vehicle is exempt from needing a speed limiter when you take it for its MOT by filling in a

ЧТО НУЖНО ЗНАТЬ РУКОВОДИТЕЛЯМ АВТОПАРКОВ О ПРАВИЛАХ ПЕРЕВОЗКИ ГРУЗОВ В ЕВРОСОЮЗЕ

Josh Cousens

We know fleet managers are juggling driver shortages, rising fuel costs and the considerable task of keeping trucks compliant. Now toss in a complex web of EU transport regulations that evolve faster than your fleet's mileage. Does this sound familiar?Welcome to the European haulage frontline.From hours of service rules to emissions targets, the EU's regulatory landscape is a challenge and a half but also a roadmap for more innovative, safer, and sustainable haulage. Whether running a family-owned firm in Poland or overseeing pan-European operations from the UK, staying ahead of the rules isn't optional. It's survival.EU transport regulations affect nearly every aspect of your operation: driver hours, vehicle emissions, border controls, parking, and digital compliance. Falling behind could mean fines, delays, or contract losses.The good news is that if you understand the system, you can use it to your advantage. Knowing the rules makes it easier to make your business stand out from the competition. The European Union has strict rules on how long drivers can operate on the road. Fleet managers must ensure their drivers:Drive no more than 9 hours a day (extendable to 10 hours twice a week) Don't exceed 56 hours of driving in a week Take a 45-minute break after 4.5 hours of driving.Digital tachographs must be fitted to all relevant vehicles to track compliance. Failure to do so is one of the most common reasons for penalties.Find out more about . This sweeping set of reforms is transforming haulage across borders. Key changes include:Regular return of vehicles to their home country every 8 weeks Equal pay for drivers operating in host EU countries New rules on cabotage and posting of drivers.It's a game-changer for fleet managers overseeing international transport.Discover more about the. Low-emission zones (LEZs), CO2 targets for new trucks, and incentives for electric vehicles are just the beginning. Fleet managers need to adhere to Euro 7 emission standards. These include:Know where low-emission zones are located (especially in cities like Paris, Berlin, and Milan) Invest in cleaner technology or retrofit older vehicles Track emissions data for reporting requirements.The European Union is pushing towards automated enforcement:Smart tachographs are mandatory in all new vehicles These devices transmit GPS data and can be scanned remotely by authorities Digital fleet management tools are no longer a luxury – they're your legal safety net.Fleet managers must plan parking and resting spots in compliance with driver welfare rules:Drivers must spend weekly rest periods outside the cab Secure truck parking is becoming mandatory in some regions.Fleet managers must ensure drivers follow the EU-regulated limits: 9 hours per day (with flexibility), proper breaks, and max weekly/monthly driving caps.The Mobility Package reform ensures fair competition, driver welfare, and proper oversight in international haulage and road transport – with stricter rules on cabotage, pay, and returns.Drivers who break tachograph rules can expect fines, potential bans, and a damaged reputation for the firm. Non-compliance isn't just a risk – it's expensive.Yes. Most major European countries and cities have strict policies and emissions targets to reduce vehicle air pollution, so fleet operators need to plan ahead. Fleet managers don't just manage trucks; they also manage risk, compliance, and reputation for their business. Understanding EU transport regulations is the difference between thriving in modern haulage and falling behind. makes that job more manageable. From digital payments to truck parking and compliance solutions, we support the people who keep Europe moving.Regulations are tightening, but competent fleet managers? They're tightening their game, too.Ready to get compliant, stay competitive and drive the future of freight? .
