dc.description.abstractThe increasing incidence of heatstroke deaths among children and pets left in vehicles highlights the critical need for effective preventive solutions. This research aims to analyze existing technologies, identify their limitations, and develop a more efficient, universally compatible system. Our analysis revealed significant shortcomings in existing products, such as dependency on internet connectivity and incompatibility with various vehicle models. Our prototypes addressed these issues with a standalone system that enhances safety without mobile devices. The final solution demonstrated substantial improvements in reliability and ease of installation, incorporating multiple components such as pressure sensors, Hall effect sensors, and infrared sensors, ensuring continued operation even if one sensor fails. The alert mechanisms, including a beeper and the car's internal horn, are designed to function independently from other components. The system uses a solar panel charger for the control unit and rechargeable batteries for the sensors, all connected via Bluetooth. This design creates a functional design with backup features using different sensors and alerting devices, preventing accidents and deaths caused by heat strokes on infants and pets, and improving vehicular safety for all families.en_US
