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.

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; andcausing one or more tasks to be performed based upon the scheduled notification communication failure. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: storing information pertaining to timing associated with the scheduled notification communication; anddetermining that the scheduled notification communication failure has occurred, based upon the timing information. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the scheduling, the failing, and the causing are implemented by a computer-based system that is part of or communicatively coupled to a personal communications device that is to receive the scheduled notification communication. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the computer-based system is remote from a host computer system and wherein the host computer system is configured to initiate the scheduled notification communication. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one task that is caused is initiating a communication to a personal communications device. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising enabling input and storage of at least one of the tasks. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein are performed by a computer-based system that is part of or communicatively coupled to a personal communications device that is to receive the scheduled notification communication. 8. A system, comprising: a host computer system having a means for monitoring travel data corresponding to a mobile thing and a means for initiating a notification communication indicating travel status of the mobile thing; anda remote computer system having a means for detecting a failure to receive the notification communication and a means for causing one or more tasks to be performed based upon the notification communication failure. 9. The system of claim 8, wherein the remote computer system further comprises: means for storing information pertaining to timing associated with the notification communication; andmeans for determining that the notification communication failure has occurred, based upon the timing information. 10. The system of claim 8, wherein at least one task is initiating a communication to a personal communications device. 11. The system of claim 8, wherein the base station computer system or the remote computer system further comprises a means for enabling input and storage of at least one of the tasks. 12. The system of claim 8, wherein the remote computer system further comprises authentication information that is used by the means for detecting a failure in order to detect whether or not a failure has occurred. 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; andmeans for causing one or more tasks to be performed based upon the scheduled notification communication failure. 14. The system of claim 13, wherein at least one task is initiating a communication to a personal communications device. 15. The system of claim 13, further comprising a means for enabling input and storage of at least one of the tasks. 16. The system of claim 13, further comprising: means for storing authentication information; andmeans for using the authentication information to determine whether or not the scheduled notification communication has been received. 17. The system of claim 13, wherein the scheduled notification communication corresponds to a first service provider that is to provide a service at the stop location and wherein the one or more tasks includes initiating a communication to a second service provider so that the second service provider can provide the service at the stop location. 18. The system of claim 13, wherein the one or more tasks includes adjusting a control in a building. 19. The system of claim 13, wherein the task includes initiating a communication to a security provider. 20. The system of claim 13, wherein the timing information is a time period that commences when an alarm is triggered. 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; andone 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; andcause one or more tasks to be performed based upon the scheduled notification communication failure. 22. The system of claim 21, wherein at least one task is initiating a communication to a personal communications device. 23. The system of claim 21, further comprising computer program instructions configured to enable input and storage of at least one of the tasks. 24. The system of claim 21, further comprising computer program instructions configured to: store authentication information; anduse the authentication information to determine whether or not the scheduled notification communication has been received. 25. The system of claim 21, wherein the scheduled notification communication corresponds to a first service provider that is to provide a service at the stop location and wherein the one or more tasks includes initiating a communication to a second service provider so that the second service provider can provide the service at the stop location. 26. The system of claim 21, wherein the one or more tasks includes adjusting a control in a building. 27. The system of claim 21, wherein the task includes initiating a communication to a security provider. 28. The system of claim 21, wherein the timing information is a time period that commences when an alarm is triggered. 29. The system of claim 21, wherein the memory resides in a single computer or a plurality of computers. 30. The system of claim 21, wherein the one or more processors reside in a single computer or a plurality of computers.
