ALCOHOL DETECTION WITH VEHICLE
SECURITY
Abstract
India had earned the dubious distinction of having a greater
number of fatalities due to road accidents in the world. Road
safety is emerging as a major social concern around the world
especially in India. Drinking and driving is already a serious public
health problem, which is likely to emerge as one of the most
significant problems in the near future. The system implemented
by us aims at reducing the road accidents in the near future due
to drunken driving. The system detects the presence of alcohol in
the vehicle and immediately locks the engine of the vehicle.
This system is aimed at making vehicle driving safer than
before. This is implemented using Arduino. We have derived the
driver’s condition in real time environment and we propose the
detection of alcohol using alcohol detector connected to Arduino
such that when the level of alcohol crosses a permissible limit, the
vehicle ignition system will turn off and the buzzer will give a
beep noise.
The entire system adopted the Arduino Uno Microcontroller
Board (based on ATMEGA 328), the principle of the hardware
chart as shown in figure 1. The core functions modules are
Arduino Uno, Alcohol Sensor module (MQ-3), 16x2 LCD Display
and DC Motor.
ARDUINO: The arduino board is the central unit of the system. All
the components are interfaced to the board and programmed as
per their functionality to operate in synchronization.
ALCOHOL MODULE: It is used to sense the alcohol. The analog
output of which is applied to the arduino board.
LCD: If alcohol is detected it displays the message indicating
“ALCOHOL DETECTED”.
DC MOTOR: It is used as a dummy for indicating the engine
locking facility whenever alcohol is detected.
