A Study on IoT-based Fleet Maintenance Management

In fleet management, fleet maintenance is a crucial aspect to increase availability. Periodic and preventive maintenance is conducted for the fleet regardless of the level of practical faults. This triggers repair and component replacement costs, as well as consumption of time. With the development of the information and communications technology, the Internet of Things (IoT) is under focus and being applied in various industries. This technology can also be used to perform predictive fleet maintenance. Thus, this study defines a fleet maintenance management system (FMMS) based on the IoT by applying the soft system methodology and determines the role of stakeholders according to the CATWOE method. An IoT-based FMMS conceptual model is also proposed on the basis of the definition above. IoT-based predictive maintenance can increase fleet availability, stability, and efficiency; reduce cost through effective maintenance planning; and eliminate unnecessary maintenance tasks.
