Abstract
A system for collecting vehicle data includes a mobile device comprising a plurality of sensors, a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to perform operations including obtaining a plurality of movement measurements from at least one of the plurality of sensors in the mobile device, determining a plurality of transportation modes using the plurality of movement measurements, and determining a mode transition using the plurality of transportation modes. The operations also include determining a transition probability using the mode transition. The operations further include creating a transition model using the transition probabilities, determining that the transition model indicates that a probability that the second transportation mode comprises driving is above a threshold, obtaining a plurality of driving movement measurements from at least one of the plurality of sensors, and determining the vehicle data using the driving movement measurements.
