Abstract
In the mobile computing era, smartphones have become instrumental tools to develop innovative mobile context-aware systems. In that sense, their usage in the vehicular domain eases the development of novel and personal transportation solutions. In this frame, the present work introduces an innovative mechanism to perceive the current kinematic state of a vehicle on the basis of the accelerometer data from a smartphone mounted in the vehicle. Unlike previous proposals, the introduced architecture targets the computational limitations of such devices to carry out the detection process following an incremental approach. For its realization, we have evaluated different classification algorithms to act as agents within the architecture. Finally, our approach has been tested with a real-world dataset collected by means of the ad hoc mobile application developed.

We have considered three different data-driven and supervised classification algorithms, namely random forest (RF), support vector machines (SVM) and fuzzy rule-based classifier (FRC)
Summary
Smartphones have been the center of most of the technological advances for the last decade As a result, they are currently equipped with several embedded sensors like a GPS, accelerometer, gyroscope or magnetometer. They are currently equipped with several embedded sensors like a GPS, accelerometer, gyroscope or magnetometer This makes them suitable enablers to capture a wide range of contextual features, like weather [1] and traffic [2] conditions, or user behaviors [3]. Smartphones are used to enrich the sensing features of traditional situation-aware driving assistance systems (SADASs) [9] This allows one to capture a wider range of driving events resulting in safer and more comfortable trips
