Abstract
An identification system in communication with a vehicle control system comprises a communication circuit configured to communicate with a remote server and at least one scanning apparatus configured to capture a biometric data. A controller is in communication with the communication circuit and the scanning apparatus. The controller is configured to receive a request for a security authorization, capture the biometric data with the scanning apparatus, and compare the biometric data to authentication data in an identification profile. Based on the comparison, the controller is further configured to authenticate a vehicle operator and communicate with a mobile device associated with the vehicle operator via the communication circuit. The communication with the mobile device is configured to limit or restrict operations of the mobile device.
