Abstract: A system and method for providing notification to a recipient of an arrival of a vehicle at an instant when the vehicle's estimated time to a destination corresponds to a recipient-defined pre-arrival notification interval is disclosed. In one embodiment, a system includes a location status module that determines the location of the vehicle. An appointment module determines the vehicle's estimated time to a destination and then determines if the estimated time to destination corresponds to a recipient-defined pre-arrival notification interval. If the vehicle's estimated time to destination corresponds to the recipient-defined pre-arrival notification interval, the appointment module sends a notification to the recipient. According to embodiments, the appointment module determines if the vehicle's estimated time to destination equals a pre-arrival notification interval. If the estimated time to destination equals the pre-arrival notification interval, a notification is sent to the recipient.
