DETERMINING VEHICLE STATUS INFORMATION USING LOCATION INFORMATION

摘要

An apparatus for determining vehicle gear information and vehicle engine RPM data based in part on usage of location information may include a processor and a memory storing executable computer program code that causes the apparatus to at least perform operations including evaluating first location information identifying one or more positions of a vehicle at respective times in order to determine a speed of the vehicle. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to compare the determined speed to a first range of speeds that correspond to gears of the vehicle and determine a current gear that the vehicle is operating in based at least in part on the determined speed corresponding to a speed in the first range of speeds associated with a gear. Corresponding computer program products and methods are also provided.
