1. A system for monitoring the security of participants in a rideshare environment, comprising:
- two or more rideshare participant devices, each associated with a rideshare participant in a rideshare transaction; and
a rideshare security system to interface with each of the rideshare participant devices and comprising;
a route assignment module to identify a predetermined route for the rideshare transaction;
a location monitor to monitor a location of the rideshare participant device and to trigger a passive security check that is performed without participation from the rideshare participant when the rideshare participant device location is inconsistent with the predetermined route by measuring other security metrics and by applying parameters to the other security metrics, wherein at least one of the security metrics is calculated using information from at least two of the two or more rideshare participant devices participating in the same rideshare transaction; and
a rideshare security check module to trigger a security alarm for an unsafe security situation when the security metrics are outside the parameters.

9. A method for monitoring the security of participants in a rideshare environment, comprising:
-
monitoring two or more rideshare participant devices participating in a rideshare transaction by a rideshare security system, wherein the rideshare participant devices are each associated with a rideshare participant; identifying a predetermined route for the rideshare transaction; and monitoring by the rideshare security system, a location of at least one of the rideshare participant devices; and triggering by the rideshare security system, a passive security check that is performed without participation from the rideshare participant when the rideshare participant device location is inconsistent with the predetermined route comprising; measuring other security metrics and applying parameters to the other security metrics, wherein at least one of the security metrics is calculated using information from at least two of the two or more rideshare participant devices participating in the same rideshare transaction; and triggering by the rideshare security system, a security alarm for an unsafe security situation when the security metrics are outside the parameters. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18)
