Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system (100) for automatic activation of child safety locks in a vehicle (102). The system includes a seat weight sensing system (116) and a floor weight sensing system (130) to detect seated and standing occupants, and a breath detection and human identification system (140) to verify living presence. A processing unit (160) analyses weight data against predetermined thresholds (166) and determines child location within activation zones (280, 282, 284, 286). Based on detected position, position-based lock activation logic (204) engages corresponding locks (104, 106, 108) via electronic actuator mechanisms (270, 272, 274). The system further incorporates a manual override (226), a diagnostic and alert system (242), and a vehicle interface system (202). The disclosed invention provides accurate and reliable child detection with automated lock control, ensuring enhanced safety while minimizing inconvenience to adult passengers.
