Generally, the present invention monitors and communicates travel data transmitted from vehicles being monitored by the system to users requesting travel information on a particular vehicle. A travel data storage unit receives and stores the travel data. When a user desires to view some or all of this travel data, the user submits a request to a data manager. In response, the data manager retrieves the appropriate information from the travel data stored in the travel data storage unit and transmits this information to the user. The data manager may communicate the information in a variety of mediums and preferably contact information is predefined that enables the data manager to determine which medium is preferable and how to establish communication once the medium is determined.

The invention claimed is: 1. An advance notification method, comprising the steps of: establishing a first communication between a host computer system and a remote communication device associated with a user; receiving timing data from said remote communication device during the first communication, the timing data indicating how far in advance of arrival of a vehicle at a stop that a notification should be initiated; identifying a notification time or notification time period based on said timing data; monitoring travel data of said vehicle in relation to said vehicle stop; determining, based on said monitoring step, whether said vehicle has reached said notification time or is within said notification time period from said vehicle stop; and establishing a second communication with said remote communication device or another remote communication device at said notification time or when said vehicle is within said notification time period from said vehicle stop. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein one or both of said first and second communications takes place, at least in part, over the internet. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the travel data is distance information or timing information that either is a schedule or is detected. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the host computer system is a single computer or comprises a distributed architecture comprising a plurality of computers that are communicatively coupled. 5. The method of claim 1 wherein the remote communication device, the another remote communication device, or both, is a computer, television, pager, or telephone. 6. A method to be performed by a base station computer system in an advance notification system, comprising the steps of: establishing communication between a base station computer system and a remote communication device; receiving at the base station computer system notification time data from said remote communication device, the notification time data indicating how far in advance of arrival of a vehicle at a stop that a notification should be undertaken; monitoring travel data of said vehicle in relation to said vehicle stop; and establishing communication between said base station computer and said remote communication device or another remote communication device at a particular notification time before said vehicle arrives at said vehicle stop, based upon said notification time data that was received by said base station computer system from said remote communication device. 7. The method of claim 6 wherein one or both of said communications takes place, at least in part, over the internet. 8. The method of claim 6 wherein the travel data is distance information or timing information that is either a schedule or is detected. 9. The method of claim 6 wherein the base station computer system is a single computer or comprises a distributed architecture comprising a plurality of computers that are communicatively coupled. 10. The method of claim 6 wherein the remote communication device, the another remote communication device, or both, is a computer, television, pager, or telephone that is general purpose in nature and is capable of participating in one or more other communications that are not associated with the advance notification system. 11. An advance notification system, comprising: means for establishing communication between a host computer system and a remote communication device associated with a user; means for receiving timing data from said remote communication device, the timing data indicative of when a notification should be initiated in advance of a vehicle's arrival at a vehicle stop; means for identifying a notification time or notification time period based on said timing data; means for monitoring travel data of said vehicle in relation to said vehicle stop; means for determining whether said vehicle has reached said notification time or is within said notification time period from said vehicle stop; and means for establishing communication with said remote communication device or another remote communication device at said notification time or when said vehicle is within said notification time period from said vehicle stop. 12. The system of claim 11 wherein one or both of said communications takes place, at least in part, over the internet. 13. The system of claim 11 wherein the travel data is distance information or timing information. 14. The system of claim 11 wherein the computer system is a single computer or comprises a plurality of computers that are in communication. 15. The system of claim 11 wherein the remote communication device, the another communication device, or both, is a computer, television, pager, or telephone. 16. A base station computer system in an advance notification system, comprising: means for establishing communication between a base station computer system and a remote communication device; means for receiving at the base station computer system notification time data from said remote communication device, the notification time data indicative of when a notification should be initiated in advance of a vehicle's arrival at a vehicle stop; means for monitoring travel data of said vehicle in relation to said vehicle stop; and means for establishing communication between said base station computer and said remote communication device or another remote communication device at a particular notification time before said vehicle arrives at said vehicle stop, based upon said notification time data that was received by said base station computer system from said remote communication device. 17. The system of claim 16 wherein one or both of said communications takes place, at least in part, over the internet. 18. The system of claim 16 wherein the travel data is distance information or timing information. 19. The system of claim 16 wherein the computer system is a single computer or comprises a plurality of computers that are communicatively coupled. 20. The system of claim 16 wherein the remote communication device, the another communication device, or both, is a computer, television, pager, or telephone that is general purpose and undedicated to the advance notification system.
