AI-Driven Vehicle Maintenance System : Automated Service Alerts

Introduction

AI-driven vehicle maintenance system fetches data via API, sends automated service reminders, reduces breakdowns, and improves vehicle longevity.

Vehicle owners often forget important service dates, which, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), contributes to nearly 20% of vehicle breakdowns. As a result, maintenance costs increase, and safety risks become more significant. To address this issue, we developed an AI-driven solution that not only fetches vehicle details from the registration number via an API but also uses artificial intelligence to send timely service reminders. Consequently, this system optimises maintenance schedules and extends vehicle longevity.

Problem Statement

Traditional vehicle maintenance tracking relies heavily on manual efforts. As a result, many owners miss service deadlines, leading to inefficient schedules and unexpected breakdowns. To solve this problem, we needed to automate vehicle detail retrieval and integrate AI-driven notifications for timely servicing. By doing so, we could ensure that vehicles remain in optimal condition while reducing the likelihood of costly repairs.

Solution Overview

Our AI-powered system offers a seamless way to track vehicle maintenance. First, it fetches vehicle details from a government or third-party API using the registration number, ensuring real-time and accurate data retrieval. For instance, the system integrates with the UK’s DVLA API and India’s Vahan API to pull necessary vehicle information. Next, it analyses the make, model, and maintenance history to determine when the next service is due. Finally, automated notifications are sent through SMS, email, or in-app alerts before the due date, helping users stay on top of their maintenance schedules.

Implementation

To begin with, the system retrieves vehicle details by calling an API with the registration number. It then fetches key data, including make, model, year, fuel type, last service date, and mileage. This information is stored in a centralised database, making tracking and analysis more efficient. As the service due date approaches, AI-powered scheduling triggers reminders. In addition, notifications are sent through multiple channels. For example, emails provide detailed service information, while in-app alerts offer personalised recommendations. As a result, vehicle owners receive timely and relevant reminders, reducing the risk of missed maintenance.

Technologies Used

For efficient data retrieval, the system integrates with RESTful APIs. Additionally, it utilises SendGrid for email notifications and Firebase for push notifications, ensuring reliable message delivery. On the frontend, Flutter is used to create a smooth experience across both mobile and web platforms. Meanwhile, the backend is powered by Node.js, which ensures scalability and fast processing. Furthermore, all vehicle data is stored in Neo4j, enabling efficient tracking and retrieval of maintenance records.

Benefits

This AI-driven solution offers several advantages. Firstly, automated tracking eliminates the need for manual service monitoring. Secondly, regular maintenance improves vehicle health and reduces repair costs. Moreover, personalised reminders enhance the user experience, keeping customers well-informed. Lastly, preventive maintenance lowers long-term expenses, making vehicle upkeep more cost-efficient for owners.

Conclusion

By combining API integration with AI-powered reminders, this system significantly improves vehicle maintenance management. In fact, early trials in fleet management have shown a 30% reduction in overdue maintenance cases. As a result, vehicles last longer, and owners save money on unexpected repairs. AI’s predictive capabilities ensure timely service, reducing breakdown risks and enhancing overall efficiency. Ultimately, this solution transforms traditional vehicle servicing into a smart, automated experience that benefits both individuals and businesses alike.
