Abstract

Nowadays the media have reported an increasing number of cases where children are accidentally being trapped while their parents and guardians are away attending to other matters. In this paper we discuss the feasibility of applying mechatronics to improve the safety of children in vehicles with the ultimate goal of developing a means for parents, guardians and authorities to be informed if ever there is a child trapped in a vehicle and in need of urgent assistance. We have also presented some preliminary experiments we have carried out for a safety alert system which is currently being developed in our lab.
