Using Data to Better Understand Your Fleet Safety

This whitepaper explains why context is essential for interpreting telematics data and strengthening fleet safety programs. By understanding vehicle condition, driver behavior, and environmental factors, fleet managers can transform raw data into meaningful insights. The paper outlines how context evolves across four levels—from no telematics to full integration of cameras and data analytics—ultimately enabling proactive decision-making and safer fleet operations.

• Telematics + cameras = clarity: While telematics shows when and where events occur, dash cams reveal what actually happened, supporting driver exoneration and accurate incident reconstruction.
• Data analytics adds true context: Advanced analysis identifies trends, risky routes, and emerging training needs, helping managers understand not just events but underlying causes.
• Integrated systems boost fleet safety: Combining telematics, video, and analytics provides real-time insights that improve behavior coaching, prevent incidents, and enhance overall fleet performance.

With powerful analytics, AI-driven insights, and nationwide connectivity, T-Mobile Fleet Management and Geotab help fleets operate more safely, efficiently, and confidently by providing the contextual data needed to drive informed decisions.
