Abstract

An advance notification system (10) notifies users of the impending arrival of a vehicle, for example, an overnight package delivery vehicle, at a particular vehicle stop. The system generally includes an on-board vehicle control unit VCU (12) for each vehicle and a base state control unit BSCU (14) for sending messages to user computers (29) in order to inform the users when the vehicle resides at a certain predefined time period, distance, prior stop, location point from the vehicle stop. Moreover, the BSCU, a computer network, and software located on a user computer may be combined in a plurality of configurations for communicating a message of the impending arrival of a particular vehicle before it arrives. Each vehicle control unit VCU (12) includes a microprocessor controller (16). The VCU sends vehicle location and/or stop information to the BSCU. The BSCU compares the vehicle route stop list with route management software, then determines when to send an impending arrival message by the system operator.
