Questions
Problem
Extreme temperatures are reached in minutes inside vehicles when turned off
Caregivers getting out of daily routine and/or in an extreme hurry
The available electronic technology is not being utilized
Solution
Device works without the caregiver having to do anything out of the ordinary
Multiple sensors and Bluetooth module
Multiple catch safes in case one system fails or goes unnoticed during use
Changes from Design I
Bluetooth Module Hc-05 made for Arduino
Rn-42 compatible with all PICs
Made by same company as PIC33
Cell Phone Application Original design sent message once blue tooth
became out of range
Not completely possible
Design II plan is to send alert from Pic33
Sent once auxiliary timer has expired
Technical Constraints
Name Description
Temperature Device must be able to detect temperatures between 0oF and 120oF.
Pressure Sensor Device must be able to detect a weight of at least 5lbs. [2]
LED and Alarm Device’s LED and alarm alerts must be distinguishable from other alerts.
Battery Device will be powered by vehicle’s battery.
Communication Compatibility
Device must be compatible with Android OS. The device must also be able to connect to the caregiver’s cell phone through Bluetooth.
Practical Constraints
Type Name Description
Sustainability Durability
The device must be able to withstand motion and vibration of the vehicle, coming in contact with moisture, and a vast range of temperatures.
Health and Safety
Safety This design aims to prevent deaths by helping reduce the problem of caregivers forgetting their children in vehicles unattended.
Sustainability
The device must be able to work under many types of conditions:
Moisture
Vibrations and movement from vehicle
Extreme temperatures
Health and Safety
Documented cases of children dying of heatstroke in United States directly related to being left in vehicles:
2013: 43 [1]
1998 – Present: 605 [1]
Overall Test Plan
Test PCB in lab Make sure all signals are correct compared to
bread board testing
Test PCB in Vehicle
Test Plan (Lab Testing)
Test PCB with 12V buzzer and 12V source
Test Bluetooth connection through variety of conditions
Test LEDs in multiple outside lighting conditions How many LEDs and which
type works best?
Test Plan (Vehicle Testing)
Test signals from vehicle
Test LED location (best visibility)
Pressure sensor placement
Heat test inside vehicle
Battery life
Test breaking point for the device
Full vehicle test

Pressure Sensor
Test different positions of pressure sensor in car seat with constant weigh of 5lbs Find most effective area relevant to:
Voltage
Consistency
Re-test with multiple pressure sensors and compare results
Bluetooth
Outside testing
Parking garage simulation testing
When does it fail?
How often does it fail?
