The specification and drawing figures describe and illustrate a system for alerting a remote vehicle operator of unsafe transportation network conditions that includes a mobile wireless communications system. A mobile computing platform is mounted on a remote vehicle and operatively connectable across the mobile wireless communications system. Operator driving data, vehicle data, and transportation network data are collected and stored in the mobile wireless communications system and the mobile computing platform, and may be transmitted across the mobile wireless communications system. At least one program is stored either in the mobile wireless communications system or the mobile computing platform, or both, for using the data to determine a safe route between geographical coordinates along the transportation network. An alarm subsystem notifies the operator of the remote vehicle of unsafe transportation network conditions if the operator of the remote vehicle deviates from the safe route, although the mobile computing platform may not be operating.
