Dec 9 - Alarm Logic
In heavy-alarm journeys, where alarms may occur in rapid succession or overlap, it’s crucial to decide how alarms should behave and interact without being overwhelming.
Typical Journey
Alarms trigger in sequence with significant time and distance between them.

Option 1 - Overlapping Alarms
The ALX alarm starts while the Asset alarm is still active. Shortly after, the LoA alarm begins while ALX is still alarming.

❌ Potential Issue: Users might be confused about which alarm they are dismissing—especially when “touch to dismiss” notif appears.
✔️ Potential Solution: Dynamic sound management
(Recommended) Option 2 - Switching Alarms
Alarms are queued instead of overlapping, ensuring one sound plays at a time.

❌ Potential Issue: May delay next alarms if current is not dismissed fast enough.
✔️ Potential Solution: Higher-priority alarms (ALX or LoA) override current or queued lower-priority alarm.
