Numerous health issues and even deaths are becoming common in
cases of forgotten babies or children inside vehicles. In this context,
we present a proposal based on a low-cost, open-source platform,
which aims to protect these children by controlling the car’s main
security functions, as well as its geolocation, to assist the decisionmaking
process of those responsible for the children. SafeBaby is
an integrated and modularized solution categorized in two groups,
the first being hardware: circuit boards, sensors for different applications,
a group of different cabling and communication devices,
and the other software: a logic code that has the function to capture,
monitor, interpret and decide on the various aspects that involve
the safety of a infant inside a vehicle. The system was designed to
accomplish decision-making in the face of an event by lowering the
electric windows, activating the warning lights, horns, unlocking
the doors, and sending the notifications for those responsible for
the child, as well as the geolocation to safeguard life.
