Methods and arrangement for performing driver identity verification

A method is proposed for verifying a vehicle operator's identity utilizing biometric data that can change over time for a particular person thereby potentially permitting a verification failure of that person based on a comparison of current biometric measures against a previously-produced template of the same characteristics, said method comprising automatically updating the previously-produced template, said automatic update being achieved in a multi-modal verification system wherein said verification system uses more than one biometric/PIN-code/smart card, wherein upon the operator entering the vehicle a prompt is issued requiring identity verification using PIN-code, fingerprint and face recognition, and after which the system verifies the operator identity using PIN-code and face recognition and uses the fingerprint biometric to update the fingerprint template in the database.
