Abstract: The vehicular communication and information system provides a computer system mounted within a vehicle, with a global positioning system receiver being in communication with the computer system. Location and motion data related to the vehicle are recorded within a first data storage medium associated with the vehicle-based computer system, and the data are further transmitted to a base station, to be stored in a second data storage medium. The location and motion data, which may include the vehicle's position, speed and direction, are selectively displayed on a display located within the vehicle, and also displayed at the base station. A user within the vehicle or personnel at the base station may produce reports containing the vehicle-specific data, and may further define geographic boundaries within which the vehicle is authorized to move. Alarm signals may be generated within the vehicle or at the base station if the vehicle moves beyond the boundary.
