Abstract

The aim of our research work is to present a project designed to make human driving safer and to significantly reduce road accidents caused by drunk driving. This project integrates an MQ3 alcohol sensor with an Arduino-based system using the ATmega328 processor, which offers enhanced functionality compared to conventional microcontrollers. The MQ3 sensor is capable of detecting alcohol content in a person’s breath and has a sensitivity range of approximately 2 m, making it suitable for installation in any vehicle while remaining discreet. Installed inside the vehicle, this system ensures that the engine is locked if alcohol is detected in the driver’s breath, thereby preventing intoxicated individuals from operating the vehicle. The principle of “Prevention is better than cure” encapsulates the core philosophy behind this initiative. Instead of dealing with the consequences of accidents, this proactive system intervenes beforehand to stop them from occurring. The technology functions as a safeguard, offering a simple yet powerful solution to enhance road safety. While some critics contend that such a system could infringe on individual freedoms, ensuring the safety of passengers, pedestrians, and other drivers must take precedence. Public safety is a shared responsibility, and implementing protective measures can prevent accidents, save lives, and promote responsible behavior. Balancing personal liberty with the well-being of the broader community is essential in today’s evolving transportation landscape. Ultimately, collective safety should be the guiding principle in shaping responsible and effective systems for all road users.
