The stop ticket information and the basic train information sent from the stop station information generator 3 are compared with the code information C stored in the storage means 23, and the stop ticket coincides with the last station of the boarding section. With respect to, the alarm generation signal is transmitted to the alarm generation means 4 installed in the designated seat through the interface 26. The basic information of the train includes a train name (train number), an operating date, a range of reserved seat vehicles, and the like, as described later. Here, address information indicating the designated seat is included in the alarm generation signal by the control unit 24 based on the designated seat information held in the storage unit 23, and the predetermined seat is selected based on this address information. An alarm generation signal is received by the installed alarm generation device 4.

In the present embodiment, since the stop station information transmitted from the stop station information generating device 3 is transmitted between the vehicles, the stop station information is modulated in order to reduce the influence of external noise. Alternatively, the level is converted and the station information generator 3
Sent from. Therefore, the interface 25
It has a function of demodulating or inversely converting the received stop station information. It is composed of 22 standard modem units. Further, an alarm generation signal is transmitted from the interface 26 to the alarm generation device 4 of each seat via a bus, and for example, the IIC type serial bus standardized by Philips is used.

As shown in FIG. 4, the stop station information generation device 3 described above modulates stop station information and basic train information to the overrun prevention device 2 and an operation interface 31 through which a conductor as an administrator operates switches. Alternatively, it is provided with a communication interface 32 that performs level conversion and transmits, and a control unit 33 that controls transmission of stop station information input by switch operation. As shown in FIG. 5, the operation interface 31 includes a train stop (for example, Hakodate,
A plurality of push button switches 34 for inputting forest, Yakumo, ..., A plurality of wheel type digital switches 35 for inputting a train number (for example, 5001D), and a train operation date (for example, 950222: 1995). February 22,
Multiple wheel type digital switches 36 to input the date)
And the reserved seat vehicle number of the train (for example, 01, 05:
And a plurality of wheel type digital switches 37 for inputting No. 1 to No. 5 cars.

When the push button switch 34 described above pushes a switch corresponding to the stop station name, it sends a corresponding signal to the control unit 33, and based on this, the control unit 33 misses the stop station information via the communication interface 32. It transmits to the prevention device 2. Further, the wheel type digital switches 35, 36 and 37 are switches in which the wheel displaying "0" to "9" and the alphabet is rotated by one digit each time the "+" or "-" button is pressed. When the setting switch 38 is pressed after setting the train number, operating date, and reserved seat vehicle number as basic information, the set train basic information is transmitted from the control unit 33 to the overpass prevention device 2 via the communication interface 32. It

Here, the train basic information is set at the time of departure of the train, is held in the storage means 23 of the overpass prevention device 2, and is the designated seat ticket read by the reading means 21 based on this basic information. The comparing means 22 judges whether the train corresponds to the train, and if it does not, the reception display means 29 displays that fact. Note that reference numeral 39a in FIG. 5 denotes a transmission confirmation lamp, which is lit for a certain period of time under the control of the control unit 33 to display that stop station information has been transmitted to the overpass prevention device 2.

In these alarm generation devices 4, the control unit 41 compares the alarm generation signal with its own address based on the address information included in the alarm generation signal sent from the overpass prevention device 2 and sends the alarm generation signal addressed to its own seat. If it is an alarm generation signal to your own seat,
The control unit 41 transmits an activation signal to the generator 42 and causes the speaker 43 to generate an alarm sound indicating that the alighting station is approaching.

In the above-mentioned over-travel prevention system, the conductor operates each of the switches 35 to 38 of the operation interface 31 before the train departs, so that the basic information of the train (train number, train number,
Set operating days and reserved seat vehicle numbers). Further, code information C (train name, boarding date, reserved seat number, boarding section, illegal use prevention code) is recorded in the reserved seat ticket T by the information adding means 11. When the passenger is allowed to read the reserved seat ticket T when the passenger gets on the train, the code information C of the reserved seat ticket T is read by the reading means 21 and held in the storage means 23.

After that, when the train departs and approaches the predetermined stop station, the conductor operates the switch 31 of the stop station information generating device 3 to input the stop station information, and this stop station information indicates that all stopovers have been missed. It is transmitted to the prevention device 2. As a result, the overpass prevention device 2 receives the stop station information, and the comparison unit 22 indicates the last station (getting off station) of the boarding section in the stop station information, with respect to the information held in the storage unit 23. Search for the information that corresponds to the stopping station. And for the ones with the same information about these stations,
The control unit 24 reads the corresponding seat information from the storage unit 23, and uses this as address information to transmit an alarm generation signal to the bus 5.

Alarm generator 4 for the seat corresponding to the address information
And the alarm sound is emitted from the speaker 43 based on the alarm generation signal. The alarm sound can be stopped by pressing a stop switch provided in the alarm generator 4. That is, if the passenger reads the reserved seat ticket T into the overpass prevention device 2 when getting on the train, the passenger can know from the warning sound that the passenger has approached the target drop-off station based on the stop station information input by the conductor. You can Therefore, in a long-distance train or the like, it is possible to reliably prevent a situation in which the user is inadvertently left over at the target getting-off station.

In the above embodiment, the stop station information generating device 3 is installed in the conductor's room of the train so that the stop station information and basic train information can be input by the conductor. A station stop station information generator is installed in the train operation control room to automatically send stop station information and basic train information to each train in accordance with the actual operation of the train. The prevention function may be executed. Further, the over-travel prevention device 2 can be installed at any position in the vehicle, such as in the vicinity of an individual seat, and can be arbitrarily set according to the convenience of use.

Code information C recorded in the reserved seat ticket T
Can be a bar code printed, in this case,
The barcode reader 28 of the reading means may be an optical reading means. As a method of issuing an alarm to passengers, various methods such as light emission, message display, vibration, and a combination thereof can be used in addition to the alarm sound. In addition to the train, the present invention can be applied to various transportation facilities such as buses and ships provided with reserved seats.

[0023]
