Lightning Systems researching AI for vehicle-emissions predictions

LOVELAND — Lightning Systems, a leader in emissions efficiency solutions for commercial vehicles, is using a form of artificial intelligence to predict the fuel economy and tailpipe emissions on fleets.

Engineers from Loveland-based Lightning Systems are using artificial neural networks, which are computing systems made of highly interconnected processing elements. Those elements process information and can predict outcomes: In this case, they’re making highly accurate fleet management predictions.

The company has been able to accurately predict the fuel consumption and emissions of vehicles in commercial and government fleets using artificial neural networks.
