Abstract
An automated computer-based apparatus includes a communications device and a base station manager located at a base station. The base station manager tracks locations of a vehicle traveling along a predetermined route by communicating with a vehicle computer-based apparatus on the vehicle. The vehicle computer-based apparatus determines the current location of the vehicle as the vehicle travels and transmits information pertaining to the vehicle's location to the base station manager via the communications device. The base station manager determines when the vehicle is a predefined proximity relative to a predetermined location and transmits a notification message to a user so that the user is notified in advance of an impending arrival of the vehicle at the predetermined location. The predefined proximity can be a predefined time that the vehicle is from the predetermined location, can a predetermined distance from the predetermined location, or can be a specific location on earth.
