Abstract

This invention relates generally to vehicle monitoring and control systems and more particularly to imposing various conditions on the operation of a vehicle (10). The conditions may involve, but are not limited to, allowable areas of travel, acceptable times and dates (16), permissible occupant load (22), permissible vehicle speeds (18), and operator alcohol consumption (32) . Various constraining events may be initiated if any and/or all of the conditions are not satisfied. For example, if the operator of a vehicle drives outside an 'allowable' area, the vehicle may be disabled.
