Company: autoAlign
Project Name: FleetSync AI Dispatch Module
Document Version: 1.0
Date: February 21, 2026
Prepared By: [Your Name/Title]
autoAlign is developing FleetSync AI, a new dispatch module designed to optimize route planning and automate maintenance scheduling for mid-to-large scale delivery fleets. This project aims to reduce vehicle idle time, decrease fuel consumption, and improve overall delivery success rates by leveraging real-time traffic data and predictive maintenance algorithms.
- Reduce Fuel Costs: Decrease average monthly fuel consumption across client fleets by 12% within the first six months of launch.
- Improve Delivery Times: Increase on-time delivery rates from 85% to 95%.
- Minimize Downtime: Reduce unexpected vehicle breakdowns by 20% through automated, predictive maintenance alerts.
In-Scope:
- Development of an AI-based route optimization algorithm.
- Integration with third-party GPS and real-time traffic APIs (e.g., Google Maps API).
- Creation of a driver-facing mobile interface (iOS/Android) for route tracking.
- Development of a manager-facing web dashboard for fleet overview and reporting.
- Predictive maintenance alert system based on vehicle mileage and diagnostic data.
Out-of-Scope:
- Hardware installation of GPS trackers in vehicles (handled by third-party vendors).
- Payroll and driver compensation features.
- Customer-facing delivery tracking portal (planned for Phase 2).

| Jane Doe | Project Sponsor | Approves budget, timeline, and final deliverables. |
| John Smith | Product Manager | Defines product vision and prioritizes feature backlog. |
| Alice Lee | Lead Engineer | Oversees technical architecture and development team. |
| Bob Vance | Fleet Ops SME | Provides domain expertise on dispatch and logistics. |
- REQ-F01: The system must generate optimal delivery routes based on real-time traffic, weather, and vehicle load capacity.
- REQ-F02: The system must allow fleet managers to manually override AI-suggested routes.
- REQ-F03: The driver mobile app must provide turn-by-turn voice navigation.
- REQ-F04: The system must trigger an automatic maintenance ticket when a vehicle's engine diagnostic reports an error code.
- REQ-F05: The dashboard must display real-time locations of all active fleet vehicles on a centralized map.
- REQ-N01 (Performance): Route calculation for up to 50 stops must complete within 3 seconds.
- REQ-N02 (Scalability): The system must support concurrent tracking of up to 10,000 vehicles.
- REQ-N03 (Security): All data at rest and in transit must be encrypted using AES-256 standard.
- REQ-N04 (Availability): The application must maintain a 99.9% uptime SLA.
Assumptions:
- Client vehicles are already equipped with compatible OBD-II diagnostic and GPS hardware.
- Drivers have access to smartphones capable of running the latest version of the FleetSync app.
Dependencies:
- Approval of the integration budget for the enterprise-tier Google Maps API.
- Timely delivery of the UI/UX wireframes from the design team by March 15th.
