1. A system for determining a driver log entry, comprising:
- an interface configured to receive a sensor data from a vehicle;
a processor configured to;
determine automatically a driver identity after a log start time, comprising;
capture a first image of the driver;
determine automatically whether a change to the driver identity has occurred based at least in part on the sensor data, comprising;
determine whether gears of the vehicle have been disengaged and subsequently reengaged; and
in the event that the gears of the vehicle have been disengaged and subsequently reengaged;
determine whether the weight of the driver has decreased and subsequently increased between the disengaging and subsequent reengaging of the gears of the vehicle; and
in the event that the weight of the driver has decreased and subsequently increased between the disengaging and subsequent reengaging of the gears of the vehicle;
capture a second image of the driver;
compare the first and second images of the driver; and
in the event that the first and second images of the driver are different, determine that a change to the driver identity has occurred; and
in the event that the driver identity has changed,determine an hour of service data based at least in part on the log start time; and
store a driver log entry using the driver identity and the hours of service data.

Abstract
A system for determining a driver log entry comprises a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to determine a log start time. The processor is configured to determine a driver identity after the log start time. The processor is configured to determine whether a change to the driver identity has occurred based at least in part on a sensor data. In the event that the driver identity has changed, the processor is configured to determine a log stop time and determine a driver log entry using the log start time, the driver identity, and the log stop time.

19. A method for determining a driver log entry, comprising:
-
receiving a sensor data from a vehicle; determining automatically a driver identity after a log start time, comprising; capturing a first image of the driver; determining automatically using a processor whether a change to the driver identity has occurred based at least in part on the sensor data, comprising; determining whether gears of the vehicle have been disengaged and subsequently reengaged; and in the event that the gears of the vehicle have been disengaged and subsequently reengaged; determining whether the weight of the driver has decreased and subsequently increased between the disengaging and subsequent reengaging of the gears of the vehicle; and in the event that the weight of the driver has decreased and subsequently increased between the disengaging and subsequent reengaging of the gears of the vehicle; capturing a second image of the driver; comparing the first and second images of the driver; and in the event that the first and second images of the driver are different, determining that a change to the driver identity has occurred; and in the event that the driver identity has changed, determining an hour of service data based at least in part on the log start time; and storing a driver log entry using the driver identity and the hours of service data.

20. A computer program product for determining a driver log entry, the computer program product being embodied in a tangible computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
-
receiving a sensor data from a vehicle; determining automatically a driver identity after a log start time, comprising; capturing a first image of the driver; determining, automatically using a processor, whether a change to the driver identity has occurred based at least in part on the sensor data, comprising; determining whether gears of the vehicle have been disengaged and subsequently reengaged; and in the event that the gears of the vehicle have been disengaged and subsequently reengaged; determining whether the weight of the driver has decreased and subsequently increased between the disengaging and subsequent reengaging of the gears of the vehicle; and in the event that the weight of the driver has decreased and subsequently increased between the disengaging and subsequent reengaging of the gears of the vehicle; capturing a second image of the driver; comparing the first and second images of the driver; and in the event that the first and second images of the driver are different, determining that a change to the driver identity has occurred; and in the event that the driver identity has changed, determining an hour of service data based at least in part on the log start time; and
storing a driver log entry using the driver identity and the hours of service data.
