Only by arranging the column numbers from left to right, the function does not change at all, only the operation method changes.

FIG. 3 shows an annunciator 4 for informing the passenger that the alighting station is approaching. The elastic band 41 is attached to the arm or ankle of the passenger, and the vibration generator 42 attached to the band 41 and It is composed of a lead wire 43 having a plug 43a led out from the vibration generating section 42. The vibration generating unit 42 uses a piezoelectric element or a motor, and starts to vibrate by supplying electric power, and vibrates the passengers wearing the band 41.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a passenger seat mounted on the vehicle, and a receiving terminal 51a for mounting the plug 43a is provided on the front surface of the armrest 51. Then, by inserting the plug 43a into the receiving terminal 51a, the receiving terminal 5
When a current is applied from 1a, the vibration generator 42 drives to give vibration to the wearer.

FIG. 4 is a system configuration diagram for driving the alarm device 4. The same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 1 to 3 denote the same members, and a description thereof will be omitted. Reference numeral 6 denotes a controller having a reading device 61 that reads the information of the memory card 2 described above, and the information from the reading device 61 is stored in a RAM.
In addition, a timer and getting-off information (external information that informs that the vehicle is close to the stop station, such as announcement information) are taken in, and based on this information, the passenger chair 5 requesting getting-off in each vehicle is loaded. A vibration command signal is sent to the device.

Further, it is possible to determine whether or not the plug 43a is connected to the receiving terminal 51a, and
If the plug 43a is still connected even just before getting off the station, the display device 62 for displaying the seat number where the plug 43a is not removed and the alarm device 63 for issuing an alarm are connected.

Reference numeral 7 is incorporated in the passenger seat 5, opens a gate in response to a command signal from the controller 6, and outputs an output for driving the vibration generator 42 connected to the receiving terminal 51a.

Next, the operation based on the above system configuration will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. At the time of ticket inspection, the conductor inputs to the input device 1 from where the passenger for each seat in each vehicle gets on and off.
For example, in the case where a passenger in the first vehicle in the first row, A seat, rides from Tokyo to Osaka, first, the seat number key 11a “1” is used.
"A", then board key 11c, station name key 11
The information of all passengers is input, such as operating "Tokyo" of b, further operating the get-off key 11d and the station name key 11d of "Osaka".

As described above, since the information input to the input device 1 is stored in the memory card 2, the conductor 6 is the reading device 6 of the controller 6 installed in the conductor room.
The memory card 2 is set to 1 and information is moved to the RAM of the controller 6. Information may be transferred to the RAM by connecting the input device 1 and the controller 6 by a cable.

When the passenger information is input to the RAM, the controller 6 reads the time to the next stop station or the train information such as the announcement information by the conductor (step S1), and then, from this information to the stop station. When it is determined whether or not the vehicle approaches (step S2), and when it is determined that the vehicle approaches the stop station (for example, 5 minutes ago), a command to open the gate is sent to the drive device 7 of the alighting seat based on the passenger information. , A current is passed through the vibration generator 4 connected to the drive device 7 (step S3).

Then, the controller 6 reads the time information and train information (step S4), and judges from this information whether or not it is on the verge of getting off the station (for example, one minute before) (step S5). In step S6, it is determined whether or not the plug 43a of the vibration generator 4 is connected to the receiving terminal 51a of the drive device 7 for the alighting seat (step S6).

When it is determined in step S6 that the plug 43a has not removed the receiving terminal 51a, the aboard seat number is displayed on the display 62 of the controller 6 and an alarm 63 is issued to the conductor. It emits (step S7). Then, the conductor who hears this warning looks up at the seat number on the display 62, raises the passenger, and pulls out the plug 43a to turn off the display of the controller 6 and stop the warning.

Next, the controller 6 judges whether or not it is the departure time of the train (step S8), and when it is confirmed that the departure time is reached, the controller 6 sends the command signal which has been sent to the drive device 7 of the alighting seat. Stop (step S9),
Next, it is judged whether or not the train is the terminal station (step S
10) If it is determined that the terminal is not the terminal station, the process returns to step S1 and the above-described operation is repeated.

In the above-described embodiment, the data transfer from the input device 1 to the RAM of the controller 6 may be performed by using the floppy disk or other storage medium in addition to the method of connecting the memory card 2 and the cable. Well, although the bus system has been described as the information transmission from the controller 6 to each seat, it may be performed by a parallel system in which the controller 6 and each seat are connected in a one-to-one manner. The information transmission means may be wired or wireless (radio waves, electromagnetic coupling, infrared rays, light), electromagnetic waves, ultrasonic waves, or the like.

Further, the vibration generator 4 may be worn on the wrist or ankle, or may be shaped so that it can be put in a chest pocket. The vibration generator 4 is not limited to the vibration generator 4 and is not limited to passengers. For example, it may be an alarm device that can generate an alarm sound.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the controller 6 detects that the plug 43a of the vibration generator 4 is pulled out from the receiving terminal 51a of the seat 5, and the display 6
2 and the alarm device 63 do not operate, but the vibration generator 4 is not attachable to and detachable from the seat 5, a switch is provided in place of the plug 43a, and this switch is turned off to display the indicator 62. The alarm device 63 may not operate.

[0027]

As described above, according to the present invention, the destination of each seat input by the conductor is input to the input device, and this information is transferred to the control equipped on the vehicle, and the passenger gets off the seat based on the information. Since the passengers are notified by the notifying means, the input operation is simple and the passengers can be surely notified that it is the time of getting off.

If the passenger is not aware of the notification by the notification means, that is, if the notification means is not removed from the seat or the switch is not turned off,
