Abstract
Methods, computer-readable media, software, and apparatuses include collecting, via one or more sensors and during a first window of time, sensor data associated with an acceleration of the vehicle, processing the sensor data to obtain frequency domain sensor data, analyzing the frequency domain sensor data to identify one or more occurrences of a vehicle mass change event, classifying a use of the vehicle for a shared mobility service during one or more time periods of the first window of time based on the one or more occurrences of a vehicle mass change, and transmitting, to a remote computing device, a notification relating to use of the vehicle for the shared mobility service.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- one or more sensors configured to measure an acceleration of a vehicle;
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
- collect, via the one or more sensors and during a first window of time, sensor data associated with the acceleration of the vehicle;
- process the sensor data to obtain frequency domain sensor data;
- analyze the frequency domain sensor data to identify one or more occurrences of a vehicle mass change event;
- classify a use of the vehicle for a shared mobility service during one or more time periods of the first window of time based on the one or more occurrences;
- and
- transmit, to a remote computing device, a notification relating to the use of the vehicle for the shared mobility service.
A method comprising:
- collecting, via one or more accelerometers and during a first window of time, accelerometer data associated with a vehicle;
- processing the accelerometer data to obtain frequency domain accelerometer data;
- analyzing the frequency domain sensor data to identify one or more occurrences of a vehicle mass change event;
- analyzing a pattern of the one or more occurrences to detect a use of the vehicle for a shared mobility service during one or more time periods of the first window of time;
- and
- transmitting, to a computing device, a notification relating to the use of the vehicle for the shared mobility service during the one or more time periods of the first window of time.
A system comprising:
- a second computing device in signal communication with a first computing device associated with a vehicle and having at least one accelerometer configured to measure a vibration of the vehicle, wherein the second device comprises:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to:
- receive, from the first computing device and for a first window of time, sensor data associated with the vibration of the vehicle;
- process the sensor data to obtain frequency domain sensor data;
- analyze the frequency domain sensor data to identify one or more occurrences of a vehicle mass change event;
- classify a use of the vehicle for a shared mobility service during one or more time periods of the first window of time based on the one or more occurrence;
- and
- generate a notification for display, the notification relating to the use of the vehicle for the shared mobility service.
