Concept

The concept described in this project report is aimed to detect the alcohol Level. When this system is installed in the dashboard and detects alcohol through the alcohol sensor, the simulated actuators presented here with a LED, which will be bright up  while a LCD and  will show the detect result in the screen automatically. Since the availability of the exact sensor is not possible and since it is a prototype module, the basic concept is proven with the universal sensor which can detect all sorts of toxic gases, petroleum products, smoke, etc, in addition.

For the next step project, it aims to create the design and implementation of an Alcohol Detection with Engine Locking for cars using the Ultrasonic Sensor and Arduino-UNO as the controlling unit is done. The system will continuously monitor the level of alcohol concentration by alcohol detection sensor and thus turn off the engine of the vehicle if the alcohol concentration is above the threshold level. 

To the alcoholic vapor. The sensor used here is named MQ6.Since it can detect all sorts of toxic vapor and is available easily everywhere, it is said to be the universal sensor. This sensor is used here to detect alcoholic vapors. Presently, this kind of sensor can be used for goods transport vehicles, because these vehicles will not carry passengers. At the point when this sensor is utilized in vehicles, it is hard to recognize the tanked individual in light of the tipsy travelers.

According to the recent project, we may add Buzzer, LM324 and DC Motor to make engine stopper system.
