 ABSTRACT
The identification of alcohol with the locking mechanism of the engine
decreases the spike of road accidents caused by drivers' extreme alcohol
intake. The device controls alcohol in the driver's exhaled breath to
activate the engine locking system. Alcohol sensor Arduino Mega
microcontroller, DC motor, is used for system creation. The car engine is
switched off, and the emergency siren is blown as soon as alcohol is
detected, minimizing the likelihood of any potential mishaps. The
prototype is also useful for preventing a catastrophic driver-induced crash.
Previously, there was no technology to lock the vehicle engine after the
alcohol was detected. Driver alcohol consumption too much, which was
the main cause of the accident. It was the same manual checks after a
particular distance on streets or freeways, but they will never be enough
to halt the malfunctions. Driving any vehicle in a developing country like
Malaysia takes great dedication, rapid thought, and drivers' judgment
talents to help stop traffic accidents. Getting drunk alcohol beyond a
certain quantity distorts a driver's standard brain function and mentality,
which often leads to accidents that impact not only the driver but also his
fellow passengers and people nearby. In turn, the family members may
also suffer from fatal trauma. The proposed device would measure the
many conditions that can cause an alarm to signify the driver's drunk or
sober state when fitted on a steering wheel within the car. For the
recommendation to improve the project in the future, particularly in
preventing system cheats and device damage. Concerning anti-cheating,
one common approach to cheating the device is to request another person
to take a clean sample of a breath when starting the car. The recommended
advancement and generations to work to mitigate this problem involve a
face lock application for security to ensure that the car is the authorized
driver taking the check procedure.

INTRODUCTION
In this project, we have designed Alcohol Level Meter using Arduino &
MQ-135 Alcohol/Gas Sensor for measuring the level of alcohol in human
breathing. Simply we have interfaced the MQ-7 Gas Sensor module with
Arduino and a 16*2 LCD module for display. The alcohol/Gas sensor we
used is the MQ-135 sensor. This is a sensor that is not only sensitive to
alcohol, particularly ethanol, which is the type of alcohol that is found in
wine, beer, and liquor. Instead of MQ-135, we can use MQ2, MQ3, and
MQ5 modules as well. Basically, they all have similar functions.
This type of sensor circuit can be used as a breathalyser to check a
person’s blood-alcohol level. Just as we exhale carbon dioxide when we
breathe out, we also will breathe out some alcohol if we have alcohol in
our blood. Any alcoholmeter device can measure this alcohol content. The
more ethanol in your blood, the more there is in the air on exhalation. This
alcohol content gives a good indication of if a person is drunk and how
drunk they are.
The amount of alcohol exhaled into the air is proportional to the amount
of alcohol that will be found in a person’s blood. Alco meters use a built-
in formula to estimate blood alcohol content from the exhaled air alcohol
content.
In different countries, the level of alcohol in the blood that defines a
person as over the limit for driving varies. The range ranges from 0.01 to
0.10. Most countries have a limit of about 0.05. For example, Greece,
Greenland, and Iceland all have limits of 0.05. Canada has a higher limit
set at 0.08. For our circuit, it can function as an algometer so that we get
an estimate of a person’s blood-alcohol level.

The amount of alcohol exhaled into the air is proportional to the amount

content. .
For different countries, the level of alcohol in the blood that defines a

Most countries have a limit of about 0.05. For example, Greece,
Greenland, and Iceland all have limits of 0.05. Canada has a higher limit
set at 0.08. In the United States, it is also 0.08. This means that if the alco
meter reading measures above this, the person can receive a DUl.
For our circuit, it can function as an alcometer so that we get an estimate
of a person's blood alcohol level.

Liquid crystal display screen is the electronic display module and find a
wide range of applications. A 16x2 LCD display is very basic module and
it is very commonly use in various devices and circuit. These modules are
preferred to seven segments and other multi segments LEDs. The reason
being: LCDs are economical; easily programmable; have no limitation of
displaying special and even custom characters (unlike in 7 segments),
animations and so on.

Fig: LCD (16*2)

A 16*2 LCD means it can display 16 characters per line and there are 2
such lines. In this LCD each character is displayed in 5*7-pixel matrix.
This LCD has 2 registers, namely command and data.
The command registers store the command instructions given to the LCD.
A command is an instruction given to LCD to do a predefined task like
initializing it, clearing its screen, setting the cursor position, controlling
display etc. the data registers stores the data to be display on the LCD. the
data is the ASCII value of the character to be displayed on the LCD.

When the target alcohol gas exists, the sensors conductivity is higher
along with the gas concentration rising, use of simple electro circuit,
convert change of conductivity to correspond output signal of gas
concentration.
Sensitivity Adjustment:
Resistance value of MQ-3 is difference to various kinds and various
concentration gases. So, when using these components, sensitivity
adjustment is very necessary. It is recommended to calibrate the detector
for 0.4mg/L (approximately 200ppm) of Alcohol concentration in air and
use value of Load resistance that (RL) about 200 KΩ (100KΩ to 470KΩ).

3.05 LED
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a two-lead semiconductor light source. It
is a p-n junction diode that emits light when activated. When a suitable
current is applied to the leads, electrons are able to recombine with
electron holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons.
This effect is called electroluminescence, and the colour of the light
(corresponding to the, energy of the photon) is determined by the energy
band gap of the semiconductor. LEDs are typically small-(less than I
mm2) and integrated optical components may be used to shape the
radiation pattern.

3.12 L298N MOTOR DRIVER
A microcontroller that normally operates on 5V or 3.3V cannot be directly
used to control a DC motor operating on higher voltage and current rating.
This is why we commonly use Motor Driver modules like the L293D
Motor Driver Module and the L298N Motor Driver Module. While the
L293D motor driver module can be used for basic low current application
the L298N Motor driver module is a high current motor driver with some
additional features that are commonly used with Arduino and Raspberry
Pi for Robotics applications.
The L298N Motor Driver module is based on the L298 Dual Full-Bridge
Driver IC and can control the speed and direction of two DC motors
(Motor A and Motor B) simultaneously. The voltage rating of these
motors can be between 5V to 35V and the peak current value can be up to
2A. The pinout diagram of the L298N Motor Driver Module is shown
below.

The motors to be controlled (Motor A and B) are connected to screw

terminals. The voltage required to power the motor is provided to the
Motor Power and Ground screw terminal, the voltage range should be
between 7V to 35V. The L298 IC requires 5V to operate, this is why we
have a built-in 5V Linear Regulator. If the operating voltage of the motor
is less than or equal to 12V than the built-in regulator will power the driver
IC, and this regulated 5V can also be obtained as an output voltage from
the 5V screw terminal which can be used to power your microcontrollers
like Arduino. If the operating voltage of the motor is greater than 12V
then the built-in regulator will not be able to handle it, so we have to
disconnect the regulator by removing the 5V Select Jumper pin and
provide a separate 5V power as an input voltage to the 5V screw terminal
to power our L298N Driver IC.

The pins Enable A and Enable B are used to set the speed of the motor.
By default, there will be jumper pins connected to both Enable A and B
to make them high (5V), this way the motors will rotate at maximum
speed. You can adjust the speed of the motors by removing the jumper
and providing a variable voltage between 0V to 5V by using a PWM
signal.

Finally, the four input pins Input 1, 2, 3, and 4 are used to control the
direction of the motor. For example, if Input 1 and Input 2 are made High
and Low, respectively, then Motor A will rotate in clockwise. If they are
made Low and High, then the motor will rotate counter clockwise. The
same logic applied for Input 3 and 4 with Motor B.

Specifications of L298N Motor Driver IC:

➢ Input Voltage: 3.2V to 40Vdc

➢ Driver: L298N Dual H Bridge DC Motor Driver
➢ Operating voltage: DC 5V – 35V
➢ Peak Current: 2 Amps

SYSTEM FLOW CHART
flow chart of the system wherein when alcohol sensor detects the presence
of alcohol the ignition will start simultaneously the LCD panel will show
the presence of alcohol and buzzer will start ringing. In the absence of
alcohol content detection, the ignition will start and the buzzer will be
silent.
CHAPTER 5:
BLOCK & CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
The complete system uses the Arduino Uno (Based on ATMEGA 328) .
The practical blocks diagram of the arrangement is presented. MQ3
module, LCD display, buzzer, relay is handled by Arduino Uno. All the
modules are interface and programmed in a way to wok the entire module
in synchronization . The panel can be linked to the personal computer and
the programming of the microcontroller can be done for sensor to work
and can sense breathe. The reading will be demonstrated on the LCD
board which is interfaced with the Arduino Uno board. Once the sensor
detects it transfer the information to car ignition system which will not
start the engine of the vehicle.
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:
CHAPTER 6:
METHODOLOGY
A flowchart of the proposed methodology is presented in Briefly, in
order to detect drunk drivers: alcohol presence in the vehicle is measured
and stored using seven alcohol sensors,the measurements are standardized
according to the sensor-specific sensibility and its longitudinal behaviour,
statistical features are extracted from the normalized signals, a genetic
algorithm is used to train several models in order to find the optimal subset
of features within the dataset, and a model that accurately classifies drunk
and non-drunk drivers is constructed. Each stage is further detailed in the
following subsections.

6.01 WORKING:
As the code starts it initializes the pin to which the sensor sends its data. Then
is setup we define the type of function we want on the initialized pins like
input or output. Then in the loop, we read the data available on pin 3 and then
print that value on our monitor. We also check for the condition of sensor
data to be either high or low and according to the condition led glows and
turns off.

In the buzzer code, we also initialize the buzzer pin to pin 13 and set pin
mode to OUTPUT in the setup section. In the loop section along with the led
we switch Buzzer also high and low.

When MQ3 detect alcohol, the LCD will show “Drunk “otherwise it will
show “NORMAL “.

When the sensor detects normal then the engine of vehicle start or in working
condition but when it show drunk or the set ppm level increase then on
immediate basis it will stop the engine of car.

And buzzer start producing sound of beep with red led blinking

That’s all this our system working process.

RESULTS & DISCUSSION
RESULT:
DISCUSSION:
The design of an alcohol detection using Arduino with motor locking was
carried out to decrease car crashes. Two scenarios in this project for
alcohol concentration are from 50 to 100 and 150 to 400. Keep in mind
that the Liquid crystal display (LCD) also shows the concentration of
alcohol even there no alcohol was detected. The 'NORMAL' condition
indicates a blood alcohol concentration of between under When the
alcohol concentration level is less than 150, the buzzer will sound,
indicating that the car's driver has consumed a small amount of alcohol.
A driver, however, is still permitted to start the car. If the alcohol detector
reading exceeds the set value of 150, a message stating" DRUNK" will be
displayed. This proves that the driver consumed an excessive amount of
alcohol. Nonetheless, the driver could not start the engine and drive at this
point. Additionally, the driver must wait until the level of alcohol in their
exhaled breath has decreased.
CHAPTER 8:
CONCLUSION
We have provided a very effective solution to develop an intelligent
system for vehicles for alcohol detection whose core is Arduino. Since
sensor has fine sensitivity range around 2 meters, it can suit to any vehicle
and can easily be hidden from the suspects. The whole system has also an
advantage of small volume and more reliability.
This paper defines a very real solution to cultivate an smart system for
alcohol detection which mainly based on Arduino. The advantage of this
system is its range of detection which can be customized as per the
requirement of the vehicle and can be placed without getting noticed from
accused.
The whole embedded system is connected to the vehicle electronic system
which will disable the car ignition system when it is detected that driver
is drunk. This is one of the best solutions to reduce number of accidents.
The system can be further improved by using other more accurate type of
sensors better specifications of microcontroller, stability system,
temperature sensors, LEDs to glow and better sound system.
This system has various other advantages like small volume, small size or
compact in nature and more trustworthiness. This arrangement advances
the care of human being and hence providing the actual growth in the
industry concerning to reduce the accidents source due to alcohol. The
legislation instead of putting more police such systems can be inbuilt in
the vehicle by the vehicle manufacturers so that driver or person driving
the vehicle is alert and make himself responsible.
