# FuelLume Fuel Control and AI Roadmap

## Fuel allocation workflow

1. Create an allowance for a load, carrier, driver, and truck.
2. Calculate the recommendation from planned miles, target MPG, expected price, and reserve.
3. Issue by fuel card, cash advance, company card, or reimbursement limit.
4. Driver submits gallons, price, amount, odometer, location, and receipt.
5. Dispatcher or accountant approves the transaction.
6. Approved transactions are reconciled against the allowance and posted as fuel expenses.

## Recommended AI phases

- Phase 1: document extraction for rate confirmations, PODs, BOLs, fuel receipts, and invoices.
- Phase 2: predictive ETA, delay warnings, and driver/load matching recommendations.
- Phase 3: fuel allowance recommendations using route, truck MPG, trailer type, weather, and historical consumption.
- Phase 4: invoice and expense anomaly detection, duplicate receipt detection, and broker risk indicators.
- Phase 5: predictive maintenance and reefer temperature anomaly alerts.

AI should remain advisory at first. Financial postings, load assignment, driver compliance decisions, and border documentation should require human approval.
