Systems and methods for determining which mobile device among multiple mobile devices is used by a vehicle driver

A computing device for determining which mobile device among multiple mobile devices in a vehicle is used by a driver of the vehicle, the computing device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive first telematics data and first device interaction data generated by a first mobile device in the vehicle during a vehicle trip;
• receive second telematics data and second device interaction data generated by a second mobile device in the vehicle during the vehicle trip;
• analyze the first telematics data and the second telematics data to determine one or more driving events of a predetermined type, wherein the predetermined type comprises high attention driving events comprising at least one of:
• changing lanes, making turns, or passing vehicles;
• analyze the first telematics data and the first device interaction data to determine a first plurality of driving instances at which a first user interacts with the first mobile device during the one or more driving events of the predetermined type during the vehicle trip;
• analyze the second telematics data and the second device interaction data to determine a second plurality of driving instances at which a second user interacts with the second mobile device during the one or more driving events of the predetermined type during the vehicle trip;
• by using a classification technique, determine whether or not the first user of the first mobile device is the driver of the vehicle during the vehicle trip based at least in part upon the first plurality of driving instances;
• and
• calibrate the classification technique based at least in part upon whether or not the first user has been determined to be the driver.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for determining which mobile device among multiple mobile devices in a vehicle is used by a driver of the vehicle, the instructions when executed by one or more processors of a computing device, cause the computing device to:

• receive first telematics data and first device interaction data generated by a first mobile device in the vehicle during a vehicle trip;
• receive second telematics data and second device interaction data generated by a second mobile device in the vehicle during the vehicle trip;
• analyze the first telematics data and the second telematics data to determine one or more driving events of a predetermined type, wherein the predetermined type comprises high attention driving events comprising at least one of:
• changing lanes, making turns, or passing vehicles;
• analyze the first telematics data and the first device interaction data to determine a first plurality of driving instances at which a first user interacts with the first mobile device during the one or more driving events of the predetermined type during the vehicle trip;
• analyze the second telematics data and the second device interaction data to determine a second plurality of driving instances at which a second user interacts with the second mobile device during the one or more driving events of the predetermined type during the vehicle trip;
• by using a classification technique, determine whether or not the first user of the first mobile device is the driver of the vehicle during the vehicle trip based at least in part upon the first plurality of driving instances;
• and
• calibrate the classification technique based at least in part upon whether or not the first user has been determined to be the driver.
