Abstract:

Presented herein are systems, methods, and architectures related to the use of mobile device geolocation data to infer and record specific detailed freight movements. In certain embodiments, using mobile device geolocation data, a freight movement database is created which may contain thousands of records each day describing in detail inferred individual freight movements. For example, each record in a freight movement database may contain information about origins, stops, and/or destinations such as dates, times, and locations of freight stops and movements. In certain embodiments, mobile device geolocation is used to create, maintain, and use a freight movement database. Such a freight movement database fills an important need in the industry because of the current lack of comprehensive and reliable information related to freight movements.
