• Description:
  This report contains results of an experimental evaluation of devices designed to prevent an intoxicated individual from operating his automobile. These devices were developed by both private industry and the Transportation Systems Center. They are designed to detect intoxication by measuring changes in ability to perform a "second generation" psychomotor task (i.e., a task known or thought to be alcohol specific). Four such devices were tested and found to be at least as alcohol specific as those previously tested, although they were at an earlier stage of development.
