Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for correlating mobile platform data with secondary device data. In an exemplary embodiment, mobile platform data and secondary device data are obtained. The mobile platform data pertains to a mobile platform. The secondary device data originates from a secondary device that is movably disposed within the mobile platform at certain times. The obtaining of the secondary device data is independent from the obtaining of the mobile platform data. The mobile platform data is correlated with the secondary device data, via a processor.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for detecting a trip of a user in a vehicle. A method includes: receiving by a processor of a user device, device scan data from one or more communication enabled devices; determining, by the processor, whether the devices listed in the device scan data is a vehicle device; in response to the determining, identifying, by the processor, the vehicle device as a found device; determining, by the processor, whether the found device is listed in a known device list; and generating, by the processor, at least one of a trip start signal and a trip end signal based on whether the found device is listed in the known device list.
