Abstract
A method of determining a position of a mobile device in a vehicle includes obtaining accelerometer data collected using a accelerometer in the mobile device, obtaining angular orientation data collected using a gyroscope in the mobile device, and determining a start time of a driving event. The method also includes determining an entry side for the mobile device prior to the driving event, detecting an acceleration event, aligning the mobile device to a reference frame of the vehicle, and determining a front/back location of the mobile device. The method further includes detecting a braking event, determining an end time of the driving event, determining an exit side for the mobile device after the driving event, and determining the position of the mobile device during at least a portion of the driving event.
