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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
