Systems and methods for determining a vehicle driver using at least peer-to-peer network signals

A computer-implemented method for identifying occupants of a vehicle, the method comprising:

• collecting an audio clip of the vehicle during a vehicle trip;
• comparing the audio clip of the vehicle to one or more vehicle audio signatures to identify a type of the vehicle;
• obtaining a spatial map of the vehicle based upon the type of the vehicle;
• initiate a ping exchange process by emitting a first set of non-audible ping signals;
• detecting a second set of non-audible ping signals from a second user device associated with a second vehicle occupant of the vehicle during the vehicle trip;
• generating a first relative positioning map based upon the spatial map and the second set of non-audible ping signals, the first relative positioning map including a first position associated with the first vehicle occupant and a second position associated with the second vehicle occupant;
• and
• determining that the first vehicle occupant is a driver or a passenger of the vehicle for the vehicle trip based at least in part upon the first relative positioning map.

A system comprising:

• a first user device associated with a first vehicle occupant of a vehicle, the first user device configured to:
• collect an audio clip of the vehicle during a vehicle trip;
• compare the audio clip of the vehicle to one or more vehicle audio signatures to identify a type of the vehicle;
• obtain a spatial map of the vehicle based upon the type of the vehicle;
• initiate a ping exchange process by emitting a first set of non-audible ping signals;
• detect a second set of non-audible ping signals from a second user device associated with a second vehicle occupant of the vehicle during the vehicle trip;
• generate a first relative positioning map based upon the spatial map and the second set of non-audible ping signals, the first relative positioning map including a first position associated with the first vehicle occupant and a second position associated with the second vehicle occupant;
• and
• determine that the first vehicle occupant is a driver or a passenger of the vehicle for the vehicle trip based at least in part upon the first relative positioning map.
