Abstract

Statistics indicate that 40% of road accidents are due to driving while intoxicated or due to driving under influence. With the improvements in science and technology, secure solutions with improvised, practicable, feasible mechanisms should be proposed to eliminate the occurrences of accidents. Keeping this in mind, BACTmobile a fully automated, smart and secured blood alcohol concentration (BAC) Tracking System for vehicles is proposed. BACTmobile collects physiological data, psychological behavior data and physical behavior data to analyze the BAC levels of a person. BAC levels are classified into five categories. With the vehicle’s infotainment along with smart connectivity, the driver is allowed to communicate with the vehicle. The collected and analyzed data are sent to cloud servers for storage purposes whilst maintaining security and privacy. A robust, high efficient BAC detection and prediction model is demonstrated with an accuracy of 99%.
