Abstract
An alarm system includes a miniature camera (10), a loudspeaker (20), a vehicle speed sensor (30), a longitudinal G sensor (40), a lateral G sensor (50) and an on-vehicle unit (60). A CPU (60a) of the on-vehicle unit (60) executes respective programs (61)–(64) in a ROM (60h), thereby outputting, if a traveling distance during a period for which a driver D continues to take an abnormal behavior exceeds a predetermined value when a traveling state of an automobile is kept stable, an alarm corresponding to a magnitude of the excess over the predetermined value from the loudspeaker (20). The alarm system is thus configured and is therefore capable of exactly outputting the alarm when a danger actually rises.
