[China Instrument Network Instrument R&D] Researchers have recently developed a "virtual alcohol tester" application that can be used to assess whether someone is driving after drinking.
Prior to this, there were also some portable breath alcohol testers such as those installed on mobile phones. However, this "virtual alcohol tester" does not require the user to exhale into the device to analyze the state of intoxication, but to rely on the detection of the user's Walking gestures to determine whether the user is in a drunk state, if the user swings too much when walking, the program will determine that the user is not suitable for driving.
The program was developed by researchers at the Ben Gurion University in Negev, Israel. Researcher Ben Nassi said that alcohol can significantly affect the gait and balance of the human body during exercise. By integrating sensors into smart phones and smart watches, it is possible to detect changes in the body's walking stance after drinking to determine whether the user is Already in a state of intoxication, the correct rate of this test result is said to have reached 100%, which is as accurate as a police alcohol tester.
The program will also be connected to the vehicle's onboard system in the future. When the user is in a state of intoxication, it can prohibit the start of the vehicle and avoid potential safety hazards caused by drunk driving.
