Abstract

An apparatus, system, and method for detecting an intoxicated driver of a vehicle and preventing operation of the vehicle are presented. In one embodiment, a detector module comprises a sensor that produces an electrical signal corresponding to a predetermined blood alcohol content of the driver. The blood alcohol content of the driver is determined by sampling the alcohol content of the air within a predetermined vehicle zone. A control module is coupled to the detector module to control at least one vehicle operations in response to the electrical signal from the detector module. In another embodiment, a cell phone contains the detector module and is wirelessly coupled to the control module. A vehicle status module is included in some embodiments.

Description

technical field Background technique [0001] Drunk driving has always been a problem in modern society. One way to combat drunk driving is to install breathalyzer devices in the vehicles of repeated drunk driver offenders. These devices require the driver to blow into a blowpipe prior to vehicle operation. When a blood alcohol content (BAC) above predetermined legal limits is detected, a violation is logged and, in some cases, vehicle operation is prevented. [0002] However, these devices currently suffer from several disadvantages. Because the device utilizes a blowpipe, a drunk driver can simply ask a sober friend to blow into the blowpipe, and thus circumvent the detection system. Additionally, these systems are typically only installed in a vehicle after the driver has committed a DUI, and thus do not deter first-time offenders from operating the vehicle while intoxicated. Ultimately, because a blowpipe is used, a person can circumvent the system, such as using press...
