How much difference can a few seconds of data make in fleet safety?

In this episode of Automotive Fleet on the Move, we connect with Steve Santostasi of Ford Pro about how higher-resolution telematics data is giving fleets a clearer picture of driver behavior and safety events.

Traditionally, many telematics systems have captured vehicle data in 30-second intervals. Moving to 5-second data intervals provides fleets with much more detailed insight into what actually happens before and during safety events — helping safety managers better understand risk patterns and improve driver coaching.
