REMOTE DETECTION AND TRACKING OF ALCOHOL CONCENTRATION FOR CAR DRIVERS.

As driving under the influence of alcohol is the main cause of fatal vehicle accidents, a reliable method for alcohol testing and data recording, without the possibility to fraud the system is mandatory. Thus, besides the alcohol level measurement, a communication method for remote recording of the test results should be provisioned. This paper describes a microcontroller based implementation with real-time transmission of data, retrieved, modeled and displayed in a chart format, and furthermore securely stored in a record database. In our demonstrator, the code for the microcontroller ATmega328p that controls the data acquisition and transmission is written in C++, while the application created in C# controls all the sensor received information for calibration, verification and metrology testing. The system implementation uses low cost components with high performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
