SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VALIDATING A VEHICLE DRIVER BASED ON MOBILE DEVICE POSITIONS WITHIN A VEHICLE

A system including one or more processors and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computing instructions that, when executed on the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations: analyzing telematics data and device interaction data to determine vehicle driving instances in which a user interacts with a mobile device during a vehicle trip for a vehicle; and the device interaction data is generated when the user interacts with the mobile device during the vehicle trip for the vehicle; receiving positioning data associated with one or more positions of the mobile device within the vehicle during the vehicle trip for the vehicle; and identifying whether the user interacting with the mobile device is a driver of the vehicle based at least in part upon the positioning data and the vehicle driving instances. Other embodiments are disclosed.
