Systems and methods are disclosed for automated notification systems. A representative method, among others, can be summarized by the following steps: monitoring travel data associated with a first personal communications device (PCD); initiating a notification communication session to a plurality of PCDs, the notification communication including a message requesting a response; receiving responses from one or more of the plurality of PCDs; and producing a list of stops for the first PCD, based upon the responses, the lack of responses, or a combination thereof. A representative system, among others, comprises a computer or other automated system that is programmed or designed to perform the foregoing steps.

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for a notification system, for a transportation vehicle comprising the steps of: monitoring travel data associated with a first personal communications device; initiating a notification communication session to a plurality of personal communications devices, the notification communication including a message requesting a response; receiving responses from one or more of the plurality of personal communications devices; and producing a list of stops for a vehicle route for the first personal communications device, based upon the responses, the lack of responses, or a combination thereof. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising the steps of: producing the list at a computer that is remote from the first personal communications device; and communicating the list to the first personal communications device. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the list is produced by the first personal communications device itself. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of providing a reply from the first personal communications device to the one or more plurality of personal communications devices that have responded. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the travel status report indicates a proximity of the first personal communications device to a stop location. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the notification communication session is initiated when the first personal communications device is within a predetermined proximity of a stop location or a location of the one or more plurality of personal communications devices. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein each of the responses indicate whether or not a party associated with the notified personal communications device is willing to accept responsibility for a pickup or delivery at a stop location or meet a first party associated with the first personal communications device at the stop location. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the stop location is remote from the locations of the first and second personal communications devices. 9. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of communicating another message during the notification communication that indicates one or more criteria for a response to be effective. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the one or more criteria include one or more of the following: a time limit, a travel distance limit associated with travel of the first personal communications device, a limit based upon the first personal communications device traveling to a particular location or region, or a limit based upon one or more acceptance responses from other personal communications devices. 11. The method of claim 10, further comprising the step of receiving the one or more criteria from a communications device. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the communications device is the first personal communications device. 13. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of enabling a first party associated with the first personal communications device to select whether or not a response is requested during a notification communication session. 14. The method of claim 1, further comprising the steps of: receiving a first message from the first personal communications device; and communicating the first message to the plurality of one or more personal communications device. 15. The method of claim 1, further comprising the steps of: determining whether or not a response is necessary for a stop at a location by the first personal communications device. 16. The method of claim 1, communicating a status of the responses to the first personal communications device. 17. The method of claim 1, wherein further comprising the step of enabling a party associated with one or more of the plurality of personal communications devices to select or enter a time for a pickup or delivery at a stop location. 18. The method of claim 17, further comprising the step of communicating the time to the first personal communications device. 19. A system, for a transportation vehicle comprising: means for monitoring travel data associated with a first personal communications device; means for initiating a notification communication session to a plurality of personal communications devices, the notification communication including a message requesting a response; means for receiving responses from one or more of the plurality of personal communications devices; and means for producing a list of stop locations for a vehicle route for the first personal communications device, based upon the responses, the lack of responses, or a combination thereof. 20. The system of claim 19, wherein the notification communication session is initiated when a moving thing is within a predetermined proximity of the stop locations and further comprising a means for determining whether or not a response is necessary for a stop at a location by the first personal communications device and including a stop location on the list when it is determined that a response is not necessary.
