1. An electronic device comprising memory circuitry, a wireless interface, and processor circuitry, wherein the processor circuitry is configured to:
obtain positioning data and movement data from a wireless device;
determine, based on the positioning data, one or more stops including a first stop of a transportation journey of the wireless device;
assign a map feature class to the first stop, the map feature class being indicative of a context of the first stop;
determine, based on movement data associated with the first stop, a transition parameter associated with the first stop, the transition parameter being indicative of a geographical indicator associated with the first stop, the geographical indicator being based on the map feature class assigned to the first stop and comprising a probability of a change in transportation mode at the map feature class assigned to the first stop;
detect that a change in transportation mode of the wireless device has occurred by determining whether the transition parameter satisfies a first criterion indicative of a change of transportation mode at the first stop; and
output, based on the transition parameter satisfying the first criterion, a transportation parameter, wherein the transportation parameter comprises an indication that the change in the transportation mode of the wireless device was detected.
