"The Vehicle Integrated Kid In Emergency (VIKIE) system will provide an autonomous, electronic, embedded system that will detect, monitor, and provide safety measures for kids and/or pets trapped in vehicles via its various transducers, microcontrollers, and multiple communication channels. VIKIE is both reactive (Codename: 5|>4|274/\/) and proactive (VIKIE) and is also a completely redundant system. Thus, VIKIE functions as a powerful electronic guardian that is not easily disabled and once fully engaged, will not stop until safety measures have been achieved."
"The VIKIE system will save kids and/or pets lives that have been left or
trapped in vehicles. VIKIE is not and will not
function as a vehicle babysitter. VIKIE
doesn't care why a child or pet is alone in the vehicle. VIKIE only
cares if a child (up to certain weights) has been detected and determined to be alone. Once
VIKIE determines a child, pet, or feeble
individual has been left alone,
it will leave its proactive state and enter its reactive state that will
begin a perpetual loop in regards to alarms including messages to the driver, visual
external alarms, and escalating up to 911 (providing location coordinates)
if necessary."
"VIKIE doesn't only care about heatstrokes either. For instance, if a child within a
predetermined weight frame is detected/determined to be alone, VIKIE will follow a
predetermined timer to begin notifying others of said child being left alone;
beginning with driver notifications, other external alarms for passersby, and escalating up to
911 if necessary. Also, it is not possible to use the
VIKIE smartphone app to
turn off VIKIE either; thus eliminating the
possibility of using VIKIE as a babysitter.
Once alarms are engaged, VIKIE is done and the aforementioned separate system begins
which can only be disarmed/reset by physically opening door and thus rescuing the child
or pet or feeble individual."
"VIKIE's sole mission is to save lives of kids, pets, and any feeble individual left alone in vehicles."
