Safety aspects in the automotive industry have undergone various enhancements but there is still much work to be done pertaining to the safety of stationary vehicles. As ASEAN inches toward becoming a developed region, children are increasingly being moved around every day in automobiles almost exclusively. There are few studies conducted to address public awareness regarding safety of child passengers in vehicles in Southeast Asia. In certain cases, children are deliberately left behind in parked automobiles. On the basis of a case study data as gathered by Null (2016), about half of all children' heat stroke casualties in vehicles were due to parents leaving a child unintentionally in the car, while approximately 29 percent were due to children amusing themselves in parked vehicles, and another 18 percent were due to children being left intentionally by their caretakers. Admittedly, vehicular hyperthermia and heatstroke have devastating effects on a child being locked in a car. This study aims to assist in the development of a protocol for ASEAN NCAP Roadmap for the COP (Child Occupant Protection). In the second portion of the study, a technique will be developed for building a system to identify and respond to unattended children. This inexpensive technique will increase safety of vehicles in ASEAN countries.
