• Abstract:
  As the evidence of the contribution of ; intoxicated drivers to vehicular fatalities ; continues to mount, interest has ; grown in the development of novel countermeasures. ; One approach now being considered ; involves the use of a device ; installed in the automobile which automatically ; determines if the driver is ; intoxicated and prevents the driver ; from operating the vehicle when intoxication is determined. In this paper ; such devices are discussed with particular ; consideration given to the method of ; determining intoxication, the point in ; time when the determination is made and ; their applications. The paper also ; discusses the Transportation Systems ; Center's research program directed to ; dealing with this problem.
