IoT-Enabled Child Safety Mechanism for Preventing Deaths in Vehicles

Abstract

Children being left unattended in parked vehicles poses serious safety risks, including suffocation, heatstroke, and other life-threatening conditions. This project proposes an IoT- based child safety system that utilizes oxygen and sound sensors to mitigate these dangers. The oxygen sensor monitors Oxygen level inside the vehicle, ensuring safe oxygen levels, while the sound sensor detects noises such as cries or signs of distress from a child. The system sends automated alerts to parents or guardians via phone alert for immediate action. In cases where mobile network signals are unavailable, an external speaker is activated to alert surrounding people, ensuring timely assistance. By focusing solely on oxygen and sound-based detection mechanisms, the system offers a reliable, practical, and cost-effective solution to enhance child safety in parked vehicles.
