Abstract
The objective of this project is to create a safety child car seat insert that allows the monitoring of the child’s environment and provides awareness options to remind the vehicle operator not to leave their child in the vehicle. The insert device will communicate with a smartphone application via Bluetooth and provide multiple stages of attention grabbing techniques to the owner. In critical situations the device will assume control of the vehicles onboard features in an attempt to save the lives of the child.
