NHTSA Rolled Out Prototype to detect Drunk Driver by prohibiting the vehicle from starting if positive Proven -

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, NHTSA, deployed a prototype that can detect if the driver is drunk and if proved positive, the device will not allow the vehicle to start even. To develop this device, NHTSA works with DADS, Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety and planned to present it to Congress and Mothers against Drunk Driving.

To address the issue, DADS came with two options, one is to touch base and the other is based breathtaking and both are easy to use. The touch-based device will be installed around the steering wheel and uses infrared scanner to analyze the higher layer driver of the skin. If it detects that there is more than 0.8 percent alcohol in the blood, which is the legal amount, then this will not allow the operation of the vehicle.

The alternative, breath-based device, will analyze blood alcohol level of the driver without the driver to make a deep breath in and out through a tube. The driver just needs to breathe and exhale naturally and device, using an infrared light beam will be able to detect the level of alcohol driver. Similarly, if the percentage of alcohol is greater than the moral then the device will not allow the car to start.

The breath-based device is developed by the Swedish supplier Autoliv any touch device, developed by Takata. Unfortunately Takata currently under investigation because millions of current vehicles being recalled due to the explosion incident airbags.

There are also some disadvantages of this technology, namely a false reading can be detected particularly with the breath basic device. Despite all this, the two solutions will be useful to minimize road accidents due to drunk driving, if they are able to be released for public in the future.
