Systems and Methods for Vehicle-Based Alert Systems

A method comprising:

• detecting, via a first sensor of an alert system configured for use with a vehicle, a living being inside the vehicle;
• measuring, via a second sensor of the alert system, an environmental feature inside the vehicle;
• based at least on the detection of the living being and the measured environmental feature, determining, by the alert system, an alert condition inside the vehicle;
• selecting, by the alert system, a first computational action based at least on the determined alert condition;
• transmitting, by the alert system, an instruction that causes a component of the vehicle to perform the selected first computational action;
• selecting, by the alert system, a second computational action based at least on the determined alert condition;
• and
• transmitting, via a network interface of the alert system, to at least one computing device that is remote from the alert system, an instruction that causes at least one remote computing device to perform the selected second computational action.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, having stored thereon program instructions that, upon execution by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a set of operations comprising:

• detecting, via a first sensor of an alert system configured for use with a vehicle, a living being inside the vehicle;
• measuring, via a second sensor of the alert system, an environmental feature inside the vehicle;
• based at least on the detection of the living being and the measured environmental feature, determining, by the alert system, an alert condition inside the vehicle;
• selecting, by the alert system, a first computational action based at least on the determined alert condition;
• transmitting, by the alert system, an instruction that causes a component of the vehicle to perform the selected first computational action;
• selecting, by the alert system, a second computational action based at least on the determined alert condition;
• and
• transmitting, via a network interface of the alert system, to at least one computing device that is remote from the alert system, an instruction that causes at least one remote computing device to perform the selected second computational action.
