1. A computer-implemented method in an electronic device of generating a vehicle operation log associated with operation of a vehicle, the method comprising:

  • recording at least one roadway on which the vehicle has operated;

    receiving, at a first time subsequent to recording the at least one roadway on which the vehicle has operated, image data from at least one image sensor, wherein the at least one image sensor is located within the vehicle;

    analyzing, by a computer processor, the image data to identify an operator of the vehicle;

    in response to identifying the operator of the vehicle;

    identifying a current time corresponding to approximately when the image data is received,detecting that the vehicle is operating, andretrieving, from a location module, location data indicating a location of the vehicle at the current time;

    determining, from the location data, route information associated with operation of the vehicle, the route information identifying a set of roadways on which the vehicle has operated;

    generating the vehicle operation log to indicate the operator of the vehicle, the current time, and the route information;

    analyzing, at a second time after the first time, the route information included in the vehicle operation log to identify an efficient route;

    displaying, in a user interface, a first interface including an image depicting the operator of the vehicle;

    receiving, via the user interface, a next selection included in the first interface; and

    responsive to receiving the next selection, displaying, in the user interface, a second interface indicating the vehicle operation log, the second interface identifying, concurrently, (i) the operator of the vehicle, (ii) the vehicle, (iii) at least a portion of the route information, and (iv) the at least one roadway recorded prior to the image data being received.
