Abstract:A system analysis was completed of the general deterrence of driving while intoxicated (DWI). Elements which influence DWI 'decisions were identified and interrelated in a system model; then, potential countermeasures which might be employed in DWI general deterrence programs were examined by means of a computer-based simulation based on the model. The simulation program, DETER, employed fixed-time step simulation in which the processing of events, within a time step, was based on an expected value Poisson flow model. Simulation experiments assessed the sensitivity of system parameters and evaluated alternative countermeasure approaches. Detailed descriptions are provided of subsystems which potentially influence the DWI decision--patrol deployment, arrest, adjudication, and public information. Subsystem changes are suggested that are likely to enhance the general deterrence of DWI. /Abstract from report summary page/
