A warning system for detecting the presence of occupants and identifying emergency situations within a vehicle. The system utilizes an integrated pressure sensor to determine if a passenger is present in the vehicle; the integrated pressure sensor is positioned adjacent to a sitting surface of a passenger seat. A temperature sensor is used to determine the temperature the vehicle to be used for the identification of an emergency situation. The system also includes an external server, a wireless communication device, and a global positioning system (GPS) device. Information regarding the environment inside the vehicle is sent to the external server by the wireless communication device. The external server analyzes said information in order to identify the emergency situation. If the emergency situation is identified, then a location of the vehicle is obtained from the GPS device and is sent to the proper authorities along with a sign for help.
