Abstract
Systems and methods are included for detecting driving based on user-specific models for driving detection, and restricting access to an application of the user device while a user is driving. A management agent installed on the user device can collect data from sensors in a user device and provide the data to a management server, which can build a user-specific model for driving detection for that user. The management agent can then use that user-specific model for detecting when the user is driving. When the agent determines that the user is driving, it can enforce a driving policy that limits access to applications and delay or modify notifications generated by applications.
