The handle portion may be implemented by a handle rope 20 having one end coupled to the housing 13 and the other end extending outward by a predetermined length, but is not limited thereto.

Meanwhile, the transfer part may move forward and backward as described above, but may also move forward only. In this case, it is sufficient for the driving unit to rotate only in one direction, that is, the forward direction, and thus the control signal can be composed of two forward and stop signals. In this case, however, the conveyer cannot be moved backwards, so it is impossible to attract the experienced passenger. Therefore, if the long connecting line is fixed to the outside of the housing and one end of the connecting line is fixed to the destination, the remote arrival assistance device is advanced toward the experienced person by moving (forwarding) the feeding unit. When the experienced person grabs the handle and combines the connection line, the operator of the destination may be configured to pull back the remote arrival assistance device.
