1. A method for driver identification comprising:
- movably coupling a user device to a vehicle;
at an accelerometer of the user device, sampling a set of acceleration data during a time period, wherein the set of acceleration data characterizes vehicle motion during the time period;
at a GPS receiver, sampling a set of GPS data during the time period;
based on the set of acceleration data, determining a movement state of the vehicle indicative of vehicular travel during the time period at a speed within a speed range characteristic of the vehicle;
based on the set of acceleration data, determining a vehicle identifier of the vehicle; and
based on the vehicle identifier, the set of acceleration data, and the set of GPS data, determining an identity of a driver operating the vehicle throughout the time period.

10. A method for driver identification comprising:
-
movably coupling a user device to a vehicle; at the user device, determining a state of the vehicle, the state indicative of vehicular travel during a time period; at the user device, determining a relative position of the user device with respect to the vehicle during the time period; based on the relative position of the user device with respect to the vehicle, determining a vehicle identifier of the vehicle; at an accelerometer of the user device, sampling a set of acceleration data during the time period; at a GPS receiver, sampling a set of GPS data during the time period; and based on the vehicle identifier and the set of acceleration data and the set of GPS data, determining an identity of a driver operating the vehicle throughout the time period. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
