Via GPS or a wireless signal, the phone detects that you entered the train.
After a certain amount of time elapsed, or the phone detects that you are about to arrive at your destination, it will vibrate constantly, eventually making a wakeup if you fail to wake up from your nap.
Depending on
your settings, this system could activate only when you use certain train station, or when you catch the train at a certain time.
