| Abstract | The rate of infant mortality due to hyperthermia occurring when a child is locked inside a vehicle has remained steady, with an average of almost 40 deaths a year over the past 10 years. This means that even the best parents or caregivers can unknowingly leave a sleeping baby in a dangerously hot car. This project aims to solve this problem with an Arduino-controlled embedded system. I use an Arduino Pro Mini to monitor a force sensitive resistor and a temperature sensor and then make intelligent decisions about informing parents of a possible emergency. The embedded system is capable of detecting if an infant is inside the vehicle. At the same time it keeps track the temperature inside the vehicle. Using these data, the Arduino can trigger sending of an emergency message if the infant is in any danger. |
