Abstract: A method for detecting lateral driving behavior can include collecting data from a set of sensors; and determining a set of lateral event outcomes S500. Additionally or alternatively, the method can include any or all of: aggregating data; checking for a set of criteria; determining a set of lateral event features; triggering an action based on the set of lateral event outcomes; and/or any other processes. The method can function to detect and assess the (lateral) driving behavior associated with a user.

Abstract: The system can include a plurality of data processing modules, which can include: a feature generation module, a scoring module, an optional decision module, an optional trip detection module, and/or any other suitable data processing modules. The system can optionally include a mobile device (e.g., such as a mobile cellular telephone, user device, etc.) and/or can be used in conjunction with a mobile device (e.g., receive data from an application executing at the mobile device and/or utilize mobile device processing, etc.). The system can function to classify a vehicular transportation modality (e.g., motorcycle transportation) for a vehicle trip.
