Abstract
A road usage charge system tracks and reports the distance travelled by a vehicle. The accuracy of the distance driven versus competing considerations such as battery drain of the mobile device doing the reporting is augmented by defining a speed threshold. When the vehicle is travelling faster than the speed threshold, location sampling is performed less frequently, over larger distance intervals. However, when the vehicle is travelling at a speed less than the speed threshold, the location sampling rate is increased such that location sampling is performed at shorter distance intervals.
