According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, fifty-three children lost their lives in 2018 from heat stroke after being left in a sealed car. CHERP (Child Heat Exhaustion Response and Prevention) is designed to act as a last line of defense. The system detects when the user’s child is in their car and will inform the user through their mobile device automatically. The urgency of these alerts is based on the state of the user’s vehicle. The CHERP system consists of three major parts: the seatbelt sensor unit, the OBD-II interface unit, and the mobile application. The seatbelt sensor unit uses load cells to determine if there is a child in the car and a temperature sensor to assess the danger-level. This is communicated to the OBD-II interface unit, which determines if your car is on or off. The mobile application alerts the user and allows for device customization.
