Web-based driver under influence of alcohol monitoring and safety system.

Abstract

The Web Based-Driver Under Influence of Alcohol Monitoring and Safety system is designed specially to provide the Police forces with Real time information regarding any violation of the alcohol laws while driving. In Uganda, driving under influence of alcohol 'and over speeding have been the leading factor in causing accidents within the country. The police force plays-an important role in ensuring laws in relation to alcohol are maintained.

There is Heed for a monitoring system that can scale with the. population size and requires little effort to be efficiently used by the limited man power in the country. This study used alcohol sensing and the power of web based systems to properly monitor alcohol violation while driving in all roads of the country remotely over the internet. To solve the challenges, the study developed a Web based Driver Under Influence of alcohol monitoring and safety system with an aim to monitor and provide information regarding. The identity and location of drivers in violation. The developed system provides three major functionalities. One, the system. 'captures details of the trucks including the driver. Two, the system checks whether the concentration of alcohol.in a driver’s breath. is beyond the legally prescribed limit and the records the location data and provides a warning-to the driver before stopping the vehicle, the system then sends the information to a web' application that relays the information to the officers. monitoring Results of the testing and validation show that the system performs the above mention functionalities. Therefore, it is anticipated that the system will reduce cases driving under the influence of alcohol
