Abstract
A sensor system is provided that is incorporated into the passenger cabin of a vehicle and which is configured to detect children and/or pets left unattended and who are therefore at risk of serious injury or death due to heat stroke. The system is designed to transmit a variety of alerts over time after an unattended child or pet is detected, the escalating nature of the alerts intended to insure a rapid response. After the system has operated long enough to insure that no child or pet has been left behind, the sensor system is automatically placed into a standby mode. In standby mode the sensor system may either be turned completely off in order to minimize off-line power consumption or it may be incorporated into an on-board security system.
