SAFETY SYSTEM TO PREVENT THE ABANDONMENT OF A CHILD IN A MOTOR VEHICLE

摘要

A safety system for preventing child abandonment in a motor vehicle is provided. The safety system includes a device installable on a child safety seat, a safety belt, or a seat belt shoulder strap. The device includes a presence sensor configured to detect child safety seat occupancy, and a radio transmitter configured to emit a radio signal within a predefined transmission range and functionally connected to the presence sensor to receive a child safety seat occupancy signal and insert presence information into the radio signal. The safety system includes warning signal receiving devices configured to detect the radio signal within the predefined transmission range and extract presence information from the radio signal, and warning emission means. The presence sensor is a capacitive sensor. Each warning signal receiving device is configured to trigger the warning emission means after initially extracting presence information and subsequently detecting an interruption of the radio signal.
