[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an over-travel prevention alarm device for notifying a person who is traveling to a destination by means of a bus, a train or the like of the fact that the vehicle has arrived at the destination.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art It is possible that a person traveling on a public transportation means such as a bus may overtake a destination by falling asleep or the like, but this is prevented by an alarm device which issues an alarm immediately before arriving at the destination. be able to.

Conventional alarm devices include, for example, an alarm device that issues an alarm at a preset scheduled arrival time and an alarm device that uses a GPS (Global Positioning System).

[0004]

However, an alarm device that issues an alarm at a preset scheduled arrival time has a problem that it is unsuitable for a moving means whose arrival time fluctuates due to road conditions and the like.

Further, an alarm device using GPS requires a storage device for storing map information and a display device for displaying map information, so that the alarm device itself becomes heavy and large. There is a problem.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and is intended for a person who is traveling to a destination by a means of transportation such as a bus or a train. An object of the present invention is to provide a crossing prevention alarm device capable of appropriately issuing an alarm immediately before arrival of a vehicle in a form as small as possible.
