If the child was left in the car for a certain time, their body’s temperature would be higher and lose the water, they would have a chance to die within 2 hours. The higher body temperature, the lower body humidity and result in carbon dioxide emission.

The IoT platform will detect since the vehicle was shut down, if a child was left for 15 minutes, the system will measure carbon dioxide emitted in the car and if the carbon dioxide was continuously higher, the system will trigger the alarm to the driver or teacher via smartphone application. The function of the biosensor works precisely and helps increase the rate of survival of the child left in the vehicle up to 95%.
