Abstract
Techniques for determining which mobile computing devices are traveling together in the same vehicle during one or more trips are disclosed. An example method includes determining, based on data received from one or more first sensors associated with a first mobile computing device, that the first mobile computing device is on a trip in a vehicle, broadcasting, by the first mobile computing device, a signal indicating that the first mobile computing device is on the trip in the vehicle, receiving, by at least one second mobile computing device, the signal being broadcasted from the first mobile computing device, determining that the second mobile computing device is in the same vehicle as the first mobile computing device, and in response to the determination, causing the second mobile computing device to cease collection of data from one or more second sensors associated with the second mobile computing device.
