Transport Mode Detection

Transport Mode Detection – Planned Feature in TimeTrack Pro

Automatically detect walking, cycling, driving, train, or flying from timeline velocity/activity data — categorize trips for better analysis — offline only.

1. How Detection Works

  • Velocity thresholds: Walking <5 km/h, cycling 10–25, driving >30
  • Activity tags: Use exported "in vehicle", "on bicycle" etc.
  • Point patterns: Steady speed = train, stops = bus
  • Altitude change: Flying if rapid rise

2. Planned Usage

  1. Import file
  2. Go to Stats → Transport Modes
  3. Select range
  4. App analyzes → shows breakdown (e.g. 40% driving, 30% walking)
  5. Tap mode → see filtered trips + copy times
  6. Export stats

3. Accuracy Notes

  • High with tags: Android 12+ better inference
  • Limitations: Bus vs car ambiguity
  • Manual override: Tag trips yourself

4. Use Cases

  • Fitness: Cycling/walking totals
  • Mileage: Driving km for tax
  • Green living: Public transport percentage
  • Commute: Bus vs car comparison

5. Privacy

  • Local analysis — no upload
  • Encryption for stats

6. Manual Now

  • Look for velocity/activity in entries
  • Copy and categorize manually
