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.


In this conversation, we discuss:


• Why higher-frequency telematics data matters for fleet safety
• How can more detailed data improve crash analysis
• What better visibility means for driver coaching and risk management
• How connected vehicle data is shaping the future of fleet safety
