Abstract: Systems and methods for determining vehicle operational status in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. In one embodiment, a vehicle status determination device includes a processor and a memory connected to the processor and storing a vehicle status determination application, wherein the vehicle status determination application directs the processor to determine ignition state data indicating that the vehicle is in a trip based on engine RPM data, where the engine RPM data describes the speed at which the engine is running, record vehicle status data while the vehicle is in the trip, obtain vehicle trip end data indicating that the vehicle is no longer in a trip based on the engine RPM data and a threshold value, where the trip has ended when the engine RPM data is below the threshold value for a period of time, and generate vehicle trip data based on the vehicle status data.
