Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an occupancy sensor system for a vehicle. The system includes a central processing unit (CPU) electrically connected to a power source of the vehicle, one or more sensors for inputting raw data into the CPU, an electronic device with a user interface, and a wireless communications bus connected to the CPU. The CPU compares the raw data received from the sensors with a predetermined safety threshold and transmits an alert to the electronic device via the wireless communications bus if the raw data is not within the safety threshold. The system further includes a global positioning system (GPS) transceiver coupled to the vehicle for receiving radio transmissions from GPS satellites, and a radio-frequency identification (RFID) reader chip.

Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method for monitoring the occupancy and environmental conditions within a vehicle, such as an autonomous vehicle, includes an occupancy monitoring component and an environmental conditions component to collect occupancy and environmental data, respectively. A detection logic correlates the occupancy and environmental data to output an occupancy pattern signature. A threshold identifier compares the occupancy pattern signature with a predetermined threshold value to determine if a dangerous environmental condition exists. If a dangerous condition is detected, a communication component sends an alert to an electronic device and authorizes a pre-mitigation assessment module to identify a safe rescue. An environmental controls component mitigates the dangerous environmental condition, including at least one window control system. The method provides a safe and efficient way to monitor and mitigate dangerous environmental conditions within an autonomous vehicle.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for detecting, alerting, and acting to prevent unattended vehicle deaths. An embodiment operates by receiving one or more signals from one or more presence sensors in a vehicle and analyzing the signals to detect the presence of a person or animal inside the vehicle. The system further receives one or more signals from one or more environment sensors on the vehicle and analyzes the signals to detect a dangerous environmental condition. If the system determines that both the presence of a person or animal has been detected inside the vehicle and a dangerous environmental condition has been detected, it activates one or more vehicle systems that mitigate the dangerous environmental condition and sends an alert to one or more predetermined recipients.
