Because parents or school bus drivers forget children in the car, the tragedy of heat stroke and death of children occurs from time to time, and it is all over the world. Even if these careless parents or school bus drivers are severely punished, the offenders are still "followed by the past", and the reason is not intentional, but careless. For example, the United States often arrests careless parents for child abuse. In fact, in the middle of summer, in the car without air conditioning, it is difficult to bear it for a long time in a temperature of about 50 ° C, let alone children, even adults.
Statistics used in Japan to develop and market such sensors to prevent forgetting children in automobiles
Is there a way to completely eliminate such tragedies? Yes! Sensors to prevent the forgetting of children and items in cars have appeared abroad.
A sensor to prevent forgetting children has been installed in cars in Japan
Sanyo Trading will gradually introduce Luxembourg IEE Automobile to the Japanese domestic market from June 23, 2022. Toyota automotive electronics components manufacturers have already begun installing the new sensor in some cars in Japan. Japan's Tokai Rihwa is now working intensively to develop a system to detect children left in cars, which is scheduled to go on sale in 2025. Sanyo Trading, which already installs such sensors on buses in Japan, aims to install 300,000 units per year by 2027.
Bus sensors to prevent forgetting children that are monitored according to life information
The purpose of this article here to introduce this new type of automotive electronics is to attract the attention of domestic automotive electronics R&D manufacturers, automobile manufacturers, and automotive users to the new trends in the market for this new type of sensor products.
More and more cars in the U.S. are already equipped with this function of confirming whether the rear seat has children or luggage, which they call "Rear door alert", which translates to Chinese is the backdoor alarm function. Before the car starts to drive, open the back door, let the passengers, including children, get into the car, or put luggage in the back seat, then close the back door, start the car, and then drive on the road, all of which are no different from traditional cars; The difference occurs when the driver turns off the engine, and if there is someone or luggage in the rear seat, the instrument panel will appear with an alarm "Please confirm the rear seat".
In the European Union (NCAP), the lack of this backdoor alarm function is regarded as a new car evaluation plan, which means that it is close to de facto regulation. I hope that manufacturers who are exporting automobiles, including electric vehicles and new energy vehicles, will pay attention to the new international trends in this regard.
