A method and apparatus for identifying and validating vehicle operators to multiple electronic systems, such as fleet management centers and electronic monitoring systems, in a communication system. The invention is particularly useful in the commercial trucking industry where multiple electronic applications require the identification of a vehicle operator. Each vehicle operator in the communication system is preassigned a unique identification code which is used to request a login or logoff from the validation system. A database of all vehicle operator identification codes is stored at a central station. The identification code is transmitted from the vehicle to the central station when a login or logoff is desired. If the identification code of the requesting operator is found in the database, any electronic system requiring the vehicle operator's identification is notified of the login of logoff event and the identification of the vehicle operator requesting the event. |
