Intelligent Alcohol Detection System for Car Drivers

Abstract

Driving a car after the consumption of alcohol is one of the most dangerous things one can do. Several surveys show the reaction of a person during driving, that are seriously affected by alcohol. Concentrating on the safety of the people, driving a car, we propose a safety system for safe driving. We are implementing an Intelligent Alcohol Detection System with some other features to avoid accidents. The Alcohol Gas Sensor is used to sense the consumption of alcohol by the driver and this data is also given to ADC(Analog-to-Digital Converter). The ADC is used in this module to convert the analog signal to digital output. If the driver is tired and feeling sleepy, the eye blink sensor shall sense his condition and turn on the buzzer. We also used a tilt sensor to detect whether the vehicle is going in a normal condition or not. GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) and the GPS module is used to detect vehicle location. In this device we have implemented an alarm system if the alcohol level is above the normal permitted level, then the system will send car’s location to the nearest police station or the relatives of the driver and the ignition system of the car will go off after the detection.
