INFLEET: Telemetry optimizes route monitoring and increases safety with scout vehicles, technical training, preventive driving and fleet management.
A telemetry plays a crucial role in the modernization and efficiency of the transport sector, especially with regard to the control and monitoring of freight vehicle routes. In the Brazilian context, where cargo transport is a vital component of the economy, investing in technologies such as telemetry can bring great benefits, not only in terms of safety but also in agility and precision with each delivery made.
In practice, telemetry allows detailed and continuous remote monitoring of trucks during their trips, optimizing fleet management and ensuring that scout vehicles do their work effectively. Companies that adopt these technologies are able to reduce risks and operational costs, while increasing the reliability of their operations. Furthermore, the use of video telemetry offers an additional layer of safety, enabling real-time visualization of road conditions and the vehicle itself. Therefore, telemetry is not simply a tool, but a complete solution for those looking to improve their logistics operations.
In a country of continental dimensions like ours, logistics presents itself as a constant challenge, involving everything from medium-sized trucks to heavy transport giants. This scenario also includes so-called exceptional cargo, which often requires the escort of scout vehicles to ensure safety on public roads.

Management and Telemetry Technologies
Within this context, management technologies have become irreplaceable to guarantee both the efficiency and security of this vital market. Telemetry, for example, plays a central role in enabling remote monitoring of vehicles, drivers and loads. The ability to monitor all aspects related to transportation in real time is one of the biggest advantages provided by telemetry.
With this feature, fleet managers can monitor the precise location of trucks, instantaneous speed, fuel consumption and even sudden braking. Critical information can be accessed at any time, allowing for more informed and faster decision-making', highlights Victor Vilas Boas Cavalcanti, CEO of Infleet, a company that develops smart solutions in fleet management, including for heavy loads.
Route Conditions and Vehicle Performance
The conditions of the routes and the performance of vehicles carrying heavy loads are crucial elements, as Victor highlights: 'Firstly, because some loads are not allowed to travel on certain roads. Having a pre-defined and monitored route helps companies avoid logistical problems and fines. In relation to vehicles, larger loads demand more from trucks, and with telemetry, it is possible to know the conditions of the vehicles in real time.'
Another vital aspect is taking care of one of the main 'assets' of the logistics sector: drivers. To work with heavy loads, these professionals need not only the technical capacitation, but also support from managers. Telemetry becomes essential in this context, providing detailed monitoring of vehicle conditions and driver behavior. Data such as seat belt usage, RPMs and engine temperature are used to encourage a safer and more preventive driving.
Technical Training and Transport Safety
This does not eliminate unforeseen events, but it certainly reduces the risks associated with human or mechanical failures', explains Cavalcanti. The civil engineering sector, which includes a wide variety of vehicles and machines, from trucks and tractors to cranes and excavators, is an example of how management technologies are fundamental. In addition to the financial aspect, due to the high equipment costs, telemetry is crucial for fleet management, standing out for its ability to reduce accident rates.
According to data from the Regional Labor Superintendency of Minas Gerais, in 2022, 2.38 deaths from work accidents were recorded in the country, 3% of which were in the construction sector, with a high incidence of fatal accidents in road transport activities. Video telemetry appears as a significant transformation in fleet management in the heavy cargo sector, promoting enhanced security, reducing costs and increasing operational efficiency.
Video telemetry and Fleet Management
By properly implementing this technology, companies can prevent accidents, minimize expenses and improve productivity, cultivating a safer and more efficient work environment', reinforces the CEO of Infleet.
