Abstract

Methods, computer-readable media, systems, and/or apparatuses for evaluating movement data to identify a user as a driver or non-driver passenger are provided. In some examples, movement data may be received from a mobile device of a user. The movement data may include sensor data including location data, such as global positioning system (GPS) data, accelerometer and/or gyroscope data, and the like. Additional data may be retrieved from one or more other sources. For instance, additional data such as usage of applications on the mobile device, public transportation schedules and routes, image data, vehicle operation data, and the like, may be received and analyzed with the movement data to determine whether the user of the mobile device was a driver or non-driver passenger of the vehicle. Based on the determination, the data may be deleted in some examples or may be further processed to generate one or more outputs.
