Abstract

An apparatus and method are disclosed for characterizing motion of a platform. Motion sensor data from a portable device having a sensor assembly may be obtained. The portable device may be within the platform and tethered or untethered, and the mobility of the portable device may be constrained or unconstrained within the platform. Following a determination the platform is moving, motion dynamics of the portable device that are independent from motion dynamics of the platform may be identified and motion sensor data corresponding to motion of the platform and motion sensor data corresponding to the identified independent motion of the portable device may be separated from the obtained motion sensor data. Accordingly, motion sensor data corresponding to motion of the platform that is independent of motion of the portable device may be output. This may be used to derive operator analytics for assessing performance.
