Abstract
Every few days within the world, there are reports of young children dying from sunstroke after being left in parked cars. 54% is due to the “forgotten in-vehicle” element. Even adults are supposed to high temperature and suffocation which leads to death when they have a long nap inside a locked car for more than an hour. Even though an emphasis on education and awareness focused upon parents or drivers and to the public, in general, have been given, this could not stop the number of a child and passenger end up in this kind of tragedy. Accordingly, there's a requirement for an automatic safety system to release an individual trapped in an overheating closed vehicle and/or assist them in reducing the temperature within the vehicle to stop the onset of hyperthermia or warmth induced suffocation. To prevent this tragedy, a system and method are provided for alerting of an occupant endangered by being situated during a variable temperature setting. A NodeMcu based system is developed to provide good air ventilation and alert, once the system detects the presence of the children based on pressure and motion sensors placed at the seats of the car after the driver has left. The security response includes triggering an exhaust fan and a buzzer. This provides with good ventilation for the passengers inside the car. The system is often utilized within an automobile, and occupants include an infant, a child, a person, and an animal or pet. With the creation of this system, hopefully parents more responsible for ensuring their children's safety is compromised in a better way.
