Abstract

This paper presents the development of Improvement of Vehicular Heatstroke Sensor System for Children. The primary objective of this work is to prevent children up to 24 months old from being left unintentionally at the rear seat in closed, parked vehicles, which have the potential to result in heat stroke. The efficacy of heat stroke prevention technologies in sensing the presence of a child in a child restraint and alerting the caregiver if he or she walks away from the vehicle without removing the child is evaluated. This system used gas sensor and temperature sensor to detect the unattended children inside the vehicle. Gas detector is used to detect humidity and carbon content inside the vehicle while temperature sensor used to detect temperature inside the vehicle. The sensor was attached to the Arduino IDE shield, simulated in IDE software and connect to the applications in the smartphone as controller. When the humidity or carbon inside the vehicle is reach some point, IDE will send data to the smartphone for alerting the caregiver to attend their children. Vehicular Heatstroke Sensor System is self-energized device which help in preserving vehicle battery by rechargeable cell types batteries (Power banks). It is expected that this device could help reducing the vehicle heatstroke cases among children that keep on increasing.
