Abstract
Despite the public education efforts to alert parents about the safety threat hyperthermia poses for young children left unattended inside a car, the number of victims each year is increasing. For this reason, this work focuses on using current technology to help prevent such fatalities. One proposed solution is provide a trustworthy mechanism that permits to alerts parents or caregivers whom accidentally leave their children in a baby seat inside an enclosed car, we propose a multi-agent system to monitor the baby seats inside cars.
