1. A method for identifying a driver operating a vehicle, the method comprising:
at a mobile user device arranged in a vehicle, collecting:
a first set of data, wherein the first set of data comprises at least one of location data and motion data associated with the vehicle, wherein the first set of data comprises location data collected from a location sensor onboard the mobile user device;
a second set of data, wherein the second set of data comprises relative position data associated with the mobile user device relative to the vehicle;
adjusting a sampling frequency associated with the location sensor based on detecting that the mobile user device is connected to a power source;
based on the first set of data, determining a vehicle identifier of the vehicle;
based on the second set of data, determining a relative position of the mobile user device within the vehicle; and
based on the relative position of the mobile user device within the vehicle and the vehicle identifier, determining an identity of the driver operating the vehicle during the time period.
