A network system, such as a transport management system, infers movement and a location of a vehicle associated with a transportation service using sensor data from a provider client device and a wireless device mounted in a fixed position in the vehicle. Before or during a transportation service, the provider client device transmits sensor data to the network system for use in detecting the occurrence of one or more specified events, such as a sudden deceleration or a harsh turn. The network system fuses the received sensor data to infer the movement of the vehicle along forward, lateral, and vertical axes and implements an event detector by analyzing movement of the vehicle in the forward direction. Fused sensor data received from the wireless device is used to validate the detected movement and to determine a position of the vehicle.

Inferring vehicle location and movement using sensor data fusion

A network computing system receives local device data from a mobile computing device of a person within a vehicle. The local device data may include sensor data from one or more sensors of the mobile computing device, and location data determined from a position-determination resource of the mobile computing device. The network computing system may detect a vehicle collision event based on the local device data. Additionally, the network computing system may determine a classification of the vehicle collision event based on the local device data.

Detecting vehicle collisions based on mobile computing device data

Examples provide for a computing system to obtain sensor data of one or more types, from one or more sensor components of a computing device associated with a user of the vehicle. The sensor data reflects an attribute of the vehicle's operation when the computing device is carried within or in proximity to the vehicle during the vehicle's operation. One or more characterizations may be determined for the vehicle based on the sensor data.
