Vehicle Mode Detection Systems

A system for detecting a vehicle mode associated with a travel segment, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
• receive first mobile device sensor data collected by mobile device sensors of a mobile device during a trip, the first mobile device sensor data including acceleration data and location data;
• receive map data from a first external database, the map data including data comprising information about one or more routeways;
• determine based on the acceleration data and location data, a plurality of stopping points encountered during the trip;
• assign first mobile sensor data collected between a first stopping point and a second stopping point as a first travel segment;
• calculate a number of acceleration actions per distance unit for the first travel segment;
• determine, based on the number of acceleration actions per distance unit and a predefined acceleration action threshold value, a first vehicle mode associated with the first travel segment;
• and,
• assign the first vehicle mode to the first travel segment and store at a memory.

A method for detecting a vehicle mode associated with a travel segment, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a computing device, first mobile device sensor data collected by mobile device sensors of a mobile device during a trip, the first mobile device sensor data including acceleration data and location data;
• assigning the first mobile device sensor data to a first user associated with the mobile device;
• receiving, by the computing device and from an external database, map data comprising data comprising information about one or more routeways;
• determining, by the computing device and based on the acceleration data and location data, a plurality of stopping points encountered during the trip;
• assigning, by the computing device and based on a first stopping point and a second stopping point, a first travel segment;
• determining, based on the location data collected during the first travel segment, a first vehicle mode associated with the first travel segment;
• assigning the first vehicle mode to the first travel segment;
• and,
• storing the first vehicle mode at a memory, where the first vehicle mode is associated with the first user.
