Abstract
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 938 children have died due to heatstroke in vehicles since 1998, with a record high of 53 deaths in 2019. A majority of child deaths via being left in a hot car is largely due to simply being forgotten. In order to tackle this problem, we have designed a system that alerts the driver reminding them of the child still present in the car. Our designed system alerts the parents if they move too far away from the vehicle and the child is still in the car, or if the temperature reaches a dangerous level (e.g., too hot or too cold).
