Murata Electronics Wi-Fi sensing solution technology for automotive child presence detection (CPD)
January 26, 2022
Utilizing Murata Electronics Wi-Fi module components, automotive manufacturers can create a full solution for child occupant safety. Wi-Fi sensing enables high flexibility of sensor location with high detection capability. Wi-Fi sensing can be freely located in contrast to cameras. Murata Electronics solution technology can accurately detect breathing and slight movement of child occupant.
With automotive child occupant safety still a social issue, child presence detection has been applied as a Euro NCAP test item and is being embraced as a new standard. Murata Electronics continues in their advancement of their corporate direction to "Contribute to the advancement of society by creating innovative products and solutions".

In designing with Murata Electronics high reliability Wi-Fi modules solutions and partnering with TRM(WirelessAI) Technology of Origin Wireless software, Murata's Wi-Fi solution can detect changes in vehicle environment in real time sensing.
Strengths of designing with Murata Electronics Wi-Fi —
- Existing Wi-Fi system can be used
- Tiny motion and breathing can be detected
- High Flexibility in antenna position
- Child under a blanket and on car floor can be detected
- Both front and rear seat occupancy zones can be covered
- No calibration required
The mechanism of sensing —
- Changes of environment can be detected from changes of radio wave reflections.
- Breathing can be detected from the periodicity of radio wave reflections.
- Two Wi-Fi Modules are required to detect a child in the car.
- Existing Wi-Fi systems line in-vehicle infotainment (Car Naviation) or telematic control unit can be used.
- Wi-Fi sensing system can be build only by installing Origin Wireless softeware in either Wi-Fi system.
