AI agent for transportation managers
Driver Hours Compliance Monitor Agent
No hours breaches and planned routes within legal limits
What it does
Drivers must follow legal limits on driving and rest time, and breaches bring fines and safety risks. Each day this agent reads electronic log data and first checks it for gaps or edits; unexplained edits are sent to the driver for an explanation before the review continues. It then checks each driver's hours against the rules for their region and flags breaches and near-breaches within 30 minutes of a limit. It compares planned routes for the coming days with remaining hours and warns where a plan would cause a breach, proposing route swaps. It checks the proposed swaps keep every driver within limits. The manager approves route changes and any corrective action with drivers. Edge case: a driver was delayed by an accident, so the agent notes the allowed exception once evidence is provided.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
