Abstract
A vehicle driver monitoring system includes a supervisor computerized device and an operator computerized device. The system may also include a key container device. The devices of the vehicle driver monitoring system work in conjunction with each other to monitor various aspects of the user's operation of a corresponding vehicle during use. If a key container device is used, the devices also work to limit the operability of a vehicle key. For example, the supervisor computerized device is configured to remotely receive vehicle monitoring information, such as location information, speed information, and operator information, from the operator computerized device as the operator drives the vehicle. Further, the optional key container device is configured to selectively allow to the operability of a vehicle key based upon vehicle access info, identity and sobriety information as related to the user and as provided by the operator computerized device.
