Abstract
An example operation includes one or more of determining a transport, in a group of transports associated with a date of disposition, is operating below an efficiency threshold of the group of transports, and limiting transports, in the group of transports, that are operating most above the efficiency threshold, from performing functionality until the group of transports is at the efficiency threshold.
Claims15
A method, comprising:
- receiving, via a server, sensor data from a plurality of transports within a fleet, the sensor data comprising operating behavior of the plurality of transports captured by hardware sensors on the plurality of transports;
- determining a plurality of energy efficiencies of the plurality of transports, respectively, based on the received sensor data and an efficiency threshold;
- identifying a transport, from among the plurality of transports, that comprises an energy efficiency below the efficiency threshold based on the determination;
- identifying a different transport from among the plurality of transports that is operating above the energy threshold based on the determination;
- determining a setting change to reduce energy consumed by the different transport to offset the energy efficiency of the identified transport operating below the efficiency threshold;
- and
- transmitting a message from the server to the different transport, wherein the message alters the setting of the different transport causing the different transport to reduce energy consumption.

- determine a setting change to reduce energy consumed by the different transport to offset the energy efficiency of the identified transport operating below the efficiency threshold;
- and
- transmit a message from the server to the different transport, wherein the message alters the setting of the different transport causing the different transport to reduce energy consumption.
