S4E5: Fleet Data Beyond GPS Tracking with Dean Calapai

Fleet data is no longer just about GPS tracking — it can help councils improve service delivery, asset management, compliance, and public works operations.In this special fleet edition of Infrastructure Matters, recorded at the 2026 IPWEA Fleet Conference, Marc Sibbald, Director of Fleet at IPWEA, speaks with Dean Calapai, Global Managing Director and Founder of IntelliTrac, about how telematics, GIS mapping, sensors, work order systems, and AI are transforming council fleet management.Together, they explore how local governments can move beyond “dots on a map” and use fleet technology to improve waste collection, road maintenance, parks operations, street sweeping, pothole detection, safety, compliance, and community outcomes.In this episode, we cover:✅ Why fleet technology is more than GPS vehicle tracking✅ How telematics and GIS mapping can improve council service delivery✅ How fleet data connects vehicles, people, work orders, and assets✅ How AI and sensors can support pothole detection and road maintenance✅ Why fleet leaders should work across departments to solve broader organisational challengesGuest: Dean Calapai, Global Managing Director and Founder, IntelliTracHost: Marc Sibbald, Director of Fleet, IPWEAInfrastructure Matters is IPWEA’s podcast for public works engineers, asset management professionals, fleet leaders, and local government decision-makers across Australia and New Zealand.
