Abstract
A fleet management system is disclosed. The system may include a transceiver configured to receive vehicle information from each vehicle of a vehicle fleet and environmental condition information associated with each vehicle. The fleet management system may further include a processor configured to obtain the vehicle information and the environmental condition information, and predict a future vehicle efficiency and a future vehicle health of each vehicle. Based on the prediction, the processor may calculate first resources required to operate the vehicle fleet according to a current fleet allocation. The processor may determine an updated fleet allocation for the vehicle fleet, and calculate second resources required to operate the vehicle fleet according to the updated fleet allocation. The processor may transmit an instruction to at least vehicle of the vehicle fleet to re-locate based on the updated fleet allocation when the second resources may be less than the first resources.
