1. A method for implementation in a computer based system, comprising:
- scheduling a notification communication to be initiated by a computer based notification system, the notification communication indicating travel status of a mobile thing in relation to a stop location and initiated by the computer based notification system when the mobile thing is within a predefined proximity of the stop location;
failing to receive the scheduled notification communication; and
causing one or more tasks to be performed based upon the scheduled notification communication failure.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for automated notification systems. A representative system, among others, can be summarized as follows. A host computer system, or base station, is designed to monitor travel data corresponding to a mobile thing and to initiate a notification communication to a personal communications device (PCD) indicating travel status of the mobile thing (MT) to a remote computer system. The remote computer system, within or associated with the PCD, is designed to detect a failure to receive the notification communication and to cause one or more tasks to be performed based upon the notification communication failure.

13. A computer based system that is designed to receive a scheduled notification communication indicating travel status of a mobile thing in relation to a stop location from a host computer based system that is designed to monitor travel data corresponding to the mobile thing, comprising:
-
means for storing information identifying the scheduled notification communication; means for storing timing information pertaining to the scheduled notification communication; means for detecting a failure to receive the scheduled notification communication based upon the timing information; and means for causing one or more tasks to be performed based upon the scheduled notification communication failure. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A computer based system that is designed to receive a scheduled notification communication indicating travel status of a mobile thing in relation to a stop location from a host computer based system that is designed to monitor travel data corresponding to the mobile thing, comprising:
-
memory storing computer program instructions; and one or more processors configured by the computer program instructions to; store information identifying the scheduled notification communication; store timing information pertaining to the scheduled notification communication; detect a failure to receive the scheduled notification communication based upon the timing information; and cause one or more tasks to be performed based upon the scheduled notification communication failure. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
