Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer readable storage medium determine the position of a mobile device. Position data items are collected that indicate if the mobile device was located in a vicinity of a predetermined public transportation building when the respective position parameter was captured. Motion data items are also collected that represent a respective motion parameter captured by the mobile device within the vicinity of the predetermined public transportation building. Based on the positioning data item(s), the motion data item(s) and/or public transportation data, it is determined if the mobile device has left the vicinity of the predetermined public transportation building on board a public transportation vehicle and/or has arrived at the vicinity of the predetermined public transportation building on board a public transportation vehicle and, if so, the motion data item(s) are associated with a boarding or waiting and/or arrival area for passengers of the public transportation vehicle.
