MOVEABLE OBJECT ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM

An accountability system for monitoring the status of a certain condition of a moveable object having an electronic identification device with a transmittable unique identification code is disclosed. A verification station with an electronic signal transmission and reception device remotely initiates communication with the electronic identification device on the moveable object and receives the unique identification code. A database at the verification station retrieves information related to the unique identification code, and a camera captures a digital image of the moveable object, while displaying the image and querying a user to input verification data to an input device. A data processing sub-system at the verification station verifies the user's input and compiles a data record of the unique identification code, the digital image, and data input from the user into a data record and stores the compiled record in memory for later communication with a remote storage device.
