MOBILEsecure is a vehicle security system designed to reduce the possibility of a vehicle being driven by unauthorized persons. With MOBILEsecure, operators must validate their credentials to operate a vehicle before it can be moved. It works using the INIT onboard computer, the COPILOTpc, to interface directly with the vehicle multiplexer. The system is compatible with any authentication device an agency chooses to use (e.g., card reader). MOBILEsecure can verify that the operator is in the vehicle assigned to them and automatically logs off when an operator leaves the seat for a predetermined length of time. Dispatchers and supervisors with user privileges also can authorize movement of the vehicle through the system. MOBILEsecure can produce reports that provide administrators with a list of supervisor overrides, remote actions taken by dispatchers, unauthorized attempts to move the vehicle, and that tell when operators leave the seat. www.initse.com
