Real-Time Fleet Route Optimization

KafkaSpark StreamingRedisPython

The Challenge

A national freight carrier operated 2,400+ vehicles with routes planned the night before using static spreadsheets. Fuel costs were climbing, on-time delivery sat at 74%, and drivers had no visibility into live traffic or weather disruptions.

The Approach

Ingested GPS telemetry, weather APIs, and traffic feeds into a streaming pipeline processing 8M events per hour. A dynamic routing engine re-optimized routes every 15 minutes, pushing updated turn-by-turn instructions directly to driver tablets.

The Impact

18% reduction in fuel consumption

On-time delivery improved from 74% to 93%

8M telemetry events processed per hour
