ALERTING VEHICLE SEAT BELT DEVICE

An example may include creating a message via a monitoring device disposed in a buckle of the seat, transmitting the message via the monitoring device to one or more of the device and the vehicle, responsive to determining the seat is occupied, monitoring, via the device, a seat belt status associated with the seat until a change in vehicle status, and determining to create the alert, via the device, when the vehicle status has changed from being operated to the stopped operation and when the seat belt status is engaged and the device has exceeded a distance between the device and the vehicle.
