Every year, children die from<br />

being left unattended in a vehicle.<br />

Sometimes this is because they<br />

are forgotten by the caregiver<br />

and other times they are simply<br />

playing in the car. <strong>The</strong> purpose <strong>of</strong><br />

the system is to send a warning<br />

signal if a child is detected<br />

inside <strong>of</strong> a car, particularly in<br />

locations which would cause<br />

the car to reach extremely<br />

high temperatures. Ideally, the<br />

implementation <strong>of</strong> this system will<br />

reduce the number <strong>of</strong> child and infant fatalities that occur within a vehicle.<br />
