Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method for verifying the use of a primary vehicle associated with a user's insurance policy, comprising:
generating sensor data by one or more sensors of a mobile computing device temporarily disposed inside an initially unidentified vehicle at times between a first point in time corresponding to a vehicle entry event and a second point in time corresponding to a vehicle exit event;
receiving, by one or more computer processors, the sensor data generated by the one or more sensors of the mobile computing device temporarily disposed within the initially unidentified vehicle;
generating, with the one or more computer processors, a trip log associated with the mobile computing device, the trip log including portions of the sensor data generated by the sensors of the mobile computing device temporarily disposed inside the initially unidentified vehicle at times between the first point in time and the second point in time;
storing, with the one or more computer processors, the trip log associated with the mobile computing device in a trip database;
when a number of previously stored trip logs associated with the mobile computing device exceeds a threshold number, triggering, with the one or more computer processors, an execution of a multivariate analysis of the sensor data of the trip log associated with the mobile computing device and the sensor data of previously stored trip logs associated with the mobile computing device in the trip database; and
identifying the initially unidentified vehicle associated with the trip log, with the one or more computer processors, based on the multivariate analysis of the sensor data of the trip log associated with the mobile computing device and the sensor data of previously stored trip logs associated with the mobile computing device in the trip database.
