1. A monitoring system, the monitoring system comprising:
- a monitor device associated with a monitor target, wherein the monitor device is operable to transmit information about the monitor target to a central monitoring system, wherein the central monitoring system includes a computer and a non-transitory computer readable medium, and wherein the non-transitory computer readable medium includes instructions executable by the computer to;
receive the information about the monitor target, wherein the information about the monitor target includes a plurality of time stamped locations along a path traveled by the monitor target;
use the plurality of time stamped locations to identify a delay along the path traveled by the monitor target and a location of the delay, wherein the location of the delay is at an allowed area of travel;
receive information from one or more databases, wherein the information from the one or more databases identifies at least one attribute corresponding to the location of the delay;
analyze the information from the one or more databases, wherein it is determined that the location of the delay is problematic; and
issue an alert based at least in part on the delay along the path traveled by the monitor target and the determination that the location of the delay is problematic.

25. A monitoring system, the monitoring system comprising:
a central monitoring system including at least a computer and a non-transitory computer readable medium, wherein the non-transitory computer readable medium includes instructions executable by the computer to; receive location information about a monitor target; based upon the location information, determine a period of time that the monitor target is not moving in an allowed area of travel; identify a location where the period of time that the monitor target is not moving occurs; receive information from one or more databases, wherein the information from the one or more databases identifies at least one attribute corresponding to the location; analyze the information from the one or more databases, wherein it is determined that the location is problematic; and issue an alert based at least in part on the determination that the location is problematic. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
