A novel approach to reduce drunk and drive accident using smart helmet (ALCOMET)

Abstract

The main goal of the project is to reduce drunk and ride accidents, to safeguard by wearing helmet. The helmet has a fixed alcohol sensor to detect the presence of alcohol on the rider's breath. Alcohol consumption lowers inhibitions and may lead some to make dangerous decisions, such as driving under the influence of alcohol. Drink driving is very dangerous because both the safety of the driver and the safety of other passengers are at risk. Any amount of alcohol in the blood can impair the ability to drive. Alcohol resistance varies greatly from person to person, putting rider at a risk of causing an accident or injury on the road However, consumption of alcohol affects their consciousness while driving and putting them as well as others in danger. Even a small amount of alcohol consumption during driving time can affect driving ability at high rate. In order to reduce former risks caused by alcohol consumption, this project provides an effective and efficient way to reduce the accidents.
