Abstract

<p>This project was undertaken as a final-year initiative aimed at addressingthe serious issue of accidents and damage caused by drunk driving. The system&nbsp;was designed around an Arduino Uno3 microcontroller connected to an alcohol&nbsp;detection sensor, which analyzes the driver&rsquo;s breath. If alcohol is detected, the&nbsp;vehicle&rsquo;s engine is automatically shut down, and an emergency siren is activated&nbsp;to warn others and prevent potential hazards. The alcohol sensor is strategically&nbsp;mounted on the steering wheel so that any excessive presence of alcohol beyond a&nbsp;<br /> set threshold disables the ignition system. The Arduino continuously monitors data&nbsp;from the sensor and activates a locking mechanism that prevents the engine from&nbsp;operating, thereby helping reduce the risk of accidents, injuries, and loss of property.</p>
