Driving monitoring and detection system

A system for handling a driving while disconnected event, the system comprising:

• an electronic logging device configured to be connected to a vehicle;
• and
• a mobile device including an electronic processor, the electronic processor configured to:
• determine a connection status between the mobile device and the electronic logging device;
• determine, using one or more sensors of the mobile device, movement of the mobile device;
• determine whether the mobile device is connected to the electronic logging device based on the connection status;
• and
• in response to determining the mobile device is not connected to the electronic logging device and determining movement of the mobile device:
• generate driving information associated with a user of the mobile device and movement of the mobile device;
• transmit the driving information associated with the user of the mobile device and movement of the mobile device to an external device independent of the mobile device and the electronic logging device, the external device configured to store data associated with the electronic logging device;
• generate a user-perceivable notification to connect the mobile device to the electronic logging device;
• and
• output the user-perceivable notification with an output device of the mobile device.
