The disclosure includes a system and method for optimizing a bus to log sensor data. The system includes a processor and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to: estimate a use case of a journey of a mobile device; retrieve a set of sensor configuration parameters associated with the estimated use case; and configure one or more sensors according to the set of sensor configuration parameters to operate during at least a portion of the journey according to the set of sensor configuration parameters.
