Response systems and methods are disclosed for communications in connection with a computer-based notification system and a personal communications device (e.g., telephone, pager, computer, PDA, etc.) associated with a party. One such representative response method, among others, can be summarized by the following steps: initiating a notification communication to a personal communications device associated with a party; receiving a response communication from the party's personal communications device; and modifying a manner in which future notification communications are implemented, based upon the response. A representative response system, among others, has mechanisms for implementing the foregoing steps.

Therefore, at least the following is claimed: 1. A method for a computer-based notification system, comprising the steps of: scheduling an arrival or departure time for a mobile thing (MT) in relation to a stop location; scheduling a notification communication to a personal communications device (PCD); monitoring travel data pertaining to the MT; determining that the MT will be delayed in arriving or departing from the stop location; initiating a communication session with the PCD; and during the communication session, indicating that the MT will be delayed and enabling cancellation of the scheduled notification communication. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of providing a report regarding travel status of the MT during the communication session. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of comparing planned travel information of the MT along a path to updated vehicle status information in order to determine whether the MT will be delayed. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of receiving preference information from the PCD or another PCD in order to schedule the arrival or departure time for the MT in relation to the stop location, to schedule the notification communication to the PCD, or both. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of receiving a response communication from the PCD indicating a desire to cancel, change, or confirm the scheduled notification communication. 6. A method for a computer-based notification system, comprising the steps of: scheduling a notification communication to a personal communications device (PCD) relating to an arrival or departure of a mobile thing (MT) in relation to a stop location; monitoring travel data pertaining to the MT; determining a change in schedule associated with the MT in relation to the stop location; initiating a communication session with the PCD; during the communication session, indicating a change in schedule associated with the MT in relation to the stop location; and during the communication session, enabling receipt of a response from the PCD to indicate at least one of the following: cancellation, confirmation, or a change, with respect to the scheduled notification communication. 7. The method of claim 6, further comprising the step of providing a report regarding travel status of the MT during the communication session. 8. The method of claim 6, further comprising the step of comparing planned travel information of the MT along a path to updated vehicle status information in order to determine whether the MT will be delayed. 9. The method of claim 6, further comprising the step of receiving preference information from the PCD or another PCD in order to schedule the arrival or departure time for the MT in relation to the stop location, to schedule the notification communication to the PCD, or both. 10. The method of claim 6, further comprising the step of receiving a response communication from the PCD indicating a desire to cancel, change, or confirm the scheduled notification communication. 11. The method of claim 6, wherein the step of initiating the notification communication is performed when a MT is a predetermined proximity with respect to the stop location in terms of time or distance. 12. The method of claim 6, wherein the response is generated by a physical action taken by the party associated with the PCD. 13. The method of claim 6, wherein the response is generated by physically detecting the presence of the party associated with the PCD. 14. The method of claim 6, further comprising the step of modifying the manner in which one or more future notification communications are to be sent, based upon the response, by modifying data associated with the one or more future notification communications. 15. A computer-based notification system, comprising: means for scheduling a notification communication to a personal communications device (PCD) relating to an arrival or departure of an MT at a the stop location; means for monitoring travel data pertaining to the MT; means for determining a change in schedule associated with the MT in relation to the stop location; means for initiating a communication session with the PCD; and means for, during the communication session, indicating a change in schedule associated with the MT in relation to the stop location and enabling receipt of a response from the PCD to indicate at least one of the following: cancellation, confirmation, or a change, with respect to the scheduled notification communication. 16. The system of claim 15, further comprising a means for monitoring for a physical action taken by the party associated with the PCD. 17. The system of claim 15, further comprising the step of modifying the manner in which one or more future notification communications are to be initiated, based upon the response, by modifying data associated with the one or more future notification communications. 18. The system of claim 15, further comprising a means for receiving a personal code from the PCD and a means for identifying a party based upon the personal code. 19. The system of claim 15, further comprising a means for receiving an indication from the PCD that an additional service or additional equipment is needed at the stop location. 20. The system of claim 15, further comprising a means for causing communicative coupling between the PCD and a PCD associated with a party having access to the particulars of a pickup or delivery by the MT at the stop location.
