 Abstract

In the present scenario, most of the road accidents are

occurring due to drunken-driving.
The drivers who drink alcohol are not in a stable condition
and so their rash driving causes accidents.
The main aim of our project is to design and implement an
Alcohol detection with engine locking system for vehicles to
avoid accidents.
 Introduction

It works on a simple principle, when a driver consumes alcohol then

the breath analyser sensor will detect the level of alcohol in the driver’s
breath.
Now this information is given as input to the microcontroller and it
compares with the set-in limits.
If the alcohol consumed by the person exceeds the threshold value,
the system of activating relay is initiated which in turn activates the
automatic lock on the vehicle.
The system will lock the engine at the same time it gives a buzzer.
Even if a person consumes the alcohol after the start of engine, then
the sensor still detects the alcohol molecules in his breath and stops
the engine.

ADVANTAGES:
To prevent accidents due to drunk and driving.
Easy and efficient to test the alcohol content in the body.
Quick and accurate results.
It has low power consumption.

APPLICATIONS:
This project can be used in various vehicles to detect
whether the driver has consumed alcohol or not.
It can also be used in various companies or organizations
to detect alcohol consumption of employees.
 CONCLUSION
Hence, by placing this system in the
vehicles we can ensure a safe and secure
journey there by decreasing the accident
rate.
The lifetime of the project is high and it has
zero maintenance.
