The inventor developed an innovative device that will evaluate the blood alcohol content of drunk people and connected to the engine of a motor vehicle can deter the possibility of drunk driving. The hardware components were connected and wired to the Arduino Nano to assemble the device. The essential program was also done by an expert for the command of the device. Lastly, when both the hardware and software requirements were completed, both elements were integrated as one whole system. The final device was tested in terms of its functionality according to its purpose. Data were recorded and analyzed by the researcher until conclusion was made The final product is HINTO, Human Intoxication Notification Tool. HINTO is an effective device that could help on deterring drivers from driving under the influence of alcohol that could result to serious injuries and worst, death. It has the capability of determining the blood alcohol content of the drunk driver and could immediately inform other people of the driver’s condition via text messaging. The device would be of big help in prohibiting the driver from going on the roads while drunk due to its fast response in turning off the engine according to the blood alcohol content of the driver. The device would be of big help in prohibiting the driver from going on the roads while drunk due to its fast response in turning off the engine according to the blood alcohol content of the driver. Lastly, based on the analysis of all features, it can be said that HINTO is a valuable device that can be used in lowering road accidents that involves drunk driving. It can help save lives.
H.I.N.T.O. (Human Intoxication Notification Tool)
Short Description:
A small device that determines alcohol levels of the driver that when attached to the engine of the vehicle will prohibit the engine to start if above the programmed level of alcohol as determined by the local legislation level. IT is programmed that the motor vehicle will not start if the driver does not test his alcohol level and will only start if the alcohol level ready by the device is within the limits set by the law, as programmed into the device.
