automatic accident avoidance system (using alcohol level sensor) for automobiles


Automatic Accident Avoidance System (using Alcohol Level Sensor) for Automobiles




Driving under the influence of alcohol is a problem that has affected countless lives and properties, like when this drunken driver (the man on black shirt) hits my wife's red car and later ran away. I was motivated to design a system that can assist the police or road safety officers to check over speeding drivers



When a vehicle driver is drunk, the driver will be at higher risk to terminate the lives of the passengers, pedestrians and other people that may be at the roads.  There is a serious need to incorporate this project in every vehicles to automatically disable the vehicle engine if the driver is drunk. Another incident of a reckless driving as a result of  high influence of alcohol personally affected me and the drunken driver hits my white car below:   



Thank God for saving my life and the lives of my family in the vehicle that day. Therefore, for the purpose of safety, this work involves the design and implementation of a circuit that can be used as an automatic accident avoidance system (using alcohol level sensor) for automobiles. It can be installed as an in-built vehicle accident prevention system, recommended for all vehicle which uses alcohol sensor with programmed micro-controller to prevent the vehicle engine or ignition from functioning once high rate of alcohol is detected in the vehicle towards the drivers sit. The project can assist companies and traffic police officers to determine whether someone is drunk and is fit to drive or not. It plays an important role in an effort to reduce traffic accident cases based on driving under the influence of alcohol. The alcohol sensor used in this project is MQ-3 which is very effective in detecting the presence of alcohol in human breath.


 The alcohol sensor is also sensitive to ammonia, carbon dioxide, alcohol, smoke, nitrogen dioxide, etc.  It consists of a tin dioxide sensitive layer inside aluminum oxide micro tubes, measuring electrode and a heating element inside a tubular aluminum casing. The front end of the sensor is covered using a stainless steel net and the rear side holds the connection terminals.
