Systems and methods are disclosed for receiving and transmitting accelerometer data and/or usage data, and analyzing the data to detect movement or usage of the device within a vehicle. A device, such as a mobile device, may detect a device movement event or a device usage event associated with the device. Based on the detection of the device movement event or the device usage event, a time associated with the event may be stored. The device may determine whether another event associated with the device occurs within a threshold amount of time from the time associated with the event. Based on a determination of whether the other event occurs within the threshold amount of time, the device may determine an event session associated with the device. The event session may comprise an instantaneous event or a continuous event. Data indicative of the event session may be transmitted to a server.

Detecting device movement and/or device usage within a vehicle

Aspects of the present disclosure describe systems, methods, and devices for vehicle mode detection based on acceleration data and location data during a trip detected by mobile devices in a vehicle. According to some examples, location data will be compared to known routeway data to detect a vehicle mode. In other examples acceleration data will be used to calculate the consistency of vehicular velocity during a trip to detect a vehicle mode. In some additional aspects, multiple analyses will be performed on the same data sets to check for false positives with vehicle mode detection.
