“…If such a vehicle can be produced, it would finally fulfill the objective enunciated over 40 years ago—to build “Cars that Drunks Can’t Drive” (Voas 1969). One of these vehicle-based monitors passively detects alcohol in the breath of the driver, making it unnecessary for the driver to blow into an interlock breath tube (Lambert et al 2006). Another developed technology measures blood alcohol concentration passively through the skin, providing a substitute for blowing into the interlock (Ennis 2006).…”

Objective Despite successes in the 1980s and early 1990s, progress in reducing impaired driving fatalities in the United States has stagnated in recent years. Since 1997, the percentage of drivers involved in fatal crashes with illegal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) levels has remained at approximately 20% to 22%. Many experts believe that public complacency, competing social and public health issues, and the lack of political fortitude have all contributed to this stagnation. The number of alcohol-related crashes, injuries, and fatalities is still unacceptable, and most are preventable. The public needs to be aware that the problem presented by drinking drivers has not been solved. Political leaders need guidance on which measures will affect the problem, and stakeholders need to be motivated once again to implement effective strategies. Methods The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) Transportation Research Board (TRB) Alcohol, Other Drugs, and Transportation Committee (ANB50) sponsored a workshop held at the NAS facility in Woods Hole, MA, on August 24–25, 2015, to discuss the lack of progress in reducing impaired driving and to make recommendations for future progress. A total of 26 experts in research and policy related to alcohol-impaired driving participated in the workshop. The workshop began by examining the static situation in the rate of alcohol-impaired driving fatal crashes to determine what factors may be inhibiting further progress. The workshop then discussed eight effective strategies that have not been fully implemented in the United States. Workshop participants (16 of the 26) rated their top three strategies. Results Three strategies received the most support: Impose administrative sanctions for drivers with BACs = .05 to .08 g/dL.Require alcohol ignition interlocks for all alcohol-impaired driving offenders.Increase the frequency of sobriety checkpoints, including enacting legislation to allow them in the 11 states that currently prohibit them. Five other important strategies included the following: (a) increase alcohol taxes to raise the price and reduce alcohol consumption; (b) re-engage the public and raise the priority of impaired driving; (c) lower the illegal per se BAC limit to .05 for a criminal offense; (d) develop and implement in-vehicle alcohol detection systems; and (e) expand the use of screening and brief interventions in medical facilities. Conclusions Each of these strategies is proven to be effective, yet all are substantially underutilized. Each is used in some jurisdictions in the United States or Canada, but none is used extensively. Any one of the three strategies implemented on a widespread basis would decrease impaired driving crashes, injuries, and fatalities. Based on the research, all three together would have a substantial impact on the problem.

“…New breath alcohol detector uses the suction fan to capture the breath sample near the driver's seat to estimate the alcohol concentration of the driver [5] [6]. Because this technique can easily be affected by the air conditioner and the number of passengers, it should be compensated by other detected signals.…”

“…Because this technique can easily be affected by the air conditioner and the number of passengers, it should be compensated by other detected signals. Sakakibara et al [5] and Lambert et al [6] adopted the oxygen level and the CO2 concentration in the cabin to calibrate the signal of the alcohol detector, respectively. Some prototypes are developed by this technique and some related patents have been published, such as TOYOTA [7].…”

This study proposes an anti-counterfeiting system of drunk driving, which prevents drivers from drunken driving and cheat of driver's alcohol detection. The study develops the technology of driver's facial image match by a serial image processes. The methodology of facial image match uses the Adaboost algorithm, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) to extract the facial features of drivers, is suitable to be applied under the internal environments of cabin. By analyzing the facial features of drivers, the time of driver's exchange is detected, and the driver's identity is indentified. When the cheat act of driver's alcohol detection occurred, the system will generate warning signals through a buzzer to notice the driver to take alcohol detection. The system detected the time of driver's exchange effectively, and indentified different driver's identity successfully, the accuracy rate of ORL face database is 96.25 %, the accuracy rate of ARTC driver's face database is 100.00 %. This system has been implemented on low-cost DSP platform and it can be installed efficiently on varied kind of vehicles. The study will be implemented on the vehicle to verify the reliability of the technology in the future.
