Infant Car Alert System (iCAS) - Save the Babies!

Since 1990, over 774 children have died from heatstroke when left alone in a vehicle. Because this is an alarming and growing problem, I decided to attack the problem by designing a low-cost, programmable device: iCAS, the Infant Car Alert System. The objective of this device is to save infants/toddlers when they're left in the car by tracking their presence and alerting parents or caregivers via text message and a loud alarm. This all was accomplished through Arduino paired with other sensors. Once the baby sits in their car seat, a switch (located under the seat) is activated, turning on the entire system. It automatically goes into a temperature loop, checking if the atmosphere's temperature is above 82 degrees (fatal temperature for a child) using a temperature sensor. Once it is, the alarm is activated and the text message is sent to family members. Both an alarm and SMS alert are used so that the baby can be rescued ASAP.
