Reminding System for Bus passager

It is a common scene that many passagers slept when they take a bus. I suppose it wouldn't be surprise to find out that Hong Kong citizen would be the most likely to slept in public transportation(compare to US citizen who perfer to read novel.) However, that would place passager in a delimma since s/he could easily oversleep thus missing the destination.

My solution to this problem is my Reminding System for Bus passager or RSB. The system is exceedingly simple to build with IC but not CPU. When a passager board a bus, there is a screen in front of him/her; s/he can thus enter his/her destination by rolling a mouse point or using a touchpad. (Former is easy to wore down and later is more resilent.) For every click/forward/backward motion of the ball, it would add or minus a value in the IC stored there; and the name or details of that station is retrived from the central databus thus displayed. After the passager chose the destination and clicked confrim on screen, then this value is stored in the IC. As the bus driver arrived at each station, s/he press a button to changed the value stored in the master IC. A simple electrical circuit is then use to compare the value stored in individual IC and central IC, once it detected an exact match, it would then activate the alert system. The alert system could be as simple as Electric shock system with high voltage and little current in the form of ring which passager could wear on their wrist. It would alert the passager using series of mild electric shocks.

This system would cost much lesser to build than a fully computerized system with expansive hardware and custom-tailored software on monopolized Operating System, and it serve the purpose of making sure the passager could enjoy a light sleep during the travelling.

小主意:巴士到站提示器

可能香港人是世界上最經常在巴士、地鐵等的交通工具中睡覺的人,在外國的人,多數是看書及報紙的,因為巴士車程不是固定,人人得練自動自覺在抵達目的地時醒來的神功,要是你未達到此修行,則一是你會因小睡而誤點,得不償失;又或者你活該,決不可在乘車中途小睡。我的小小發明/提議.就是為想小睡卻不想因此而誤點的人度身訂造,巴士公司用了此提議,可令更多乘車選乘巴士,因為它在其他人數沒有上限的公共交通工具難以實行。
我的想法名為巴士到站提示器,就是乘客在上巴士坐下以後,在他/她前面有小型螢幕可供他/她輸入目的地,如果乘客不介意的話,用LED來顯示也可以,乘客可用上下滾動的鼠標來選取自己的目的地,或者用觸摸式的輸入裝置會更耐用,從而減低了轉動時的摩擦損耗,之後它會把目的地當成數字來儲存在超小型記憶體,輸入完之成乘客可放心小睡片刻(或者可考慮多加一製作確認及取消)。當資料被輸入電子裝置之後,每當巴士抵達一站時,中央IC處理器會發出增加1的訊號到各乘客的巴士到站提示系統,而這系統還有IC或簡單的電子線路專責比較目的地的數字和中央系統發出的訊號,要是一致時則啟動乘客座位的千人震裝置,以三數次高壓低電荷來刺激乘客的皮膚神經(通常是頸部,但亦可是是一技小型的金屬官或環,可讓乘客穿在手腕或任何敏感地方上)。考慮再周全一點的話可以由巴士司機負責發訊號,他/她在到站前三/四分鐘按一按製,則可喚醒在小睡片刻的乘客,如此一來則沒有乘坐會因為憩息片刻而誤點,比現在的顯示器更有效。
如果巴士公司接納此方案,我只要求自己、家人及女朋友以後可免費乘巴士,次數及路程不限!
