Hi I'm Hemesh. I'm 12 yrs old. :) :D ;D 8) ^-^ First when I was surfing the net I came across an article which showed the major reasons of death during driving. They are :- 1. Drinking & Driving 2. Not having access to hospitals after the accident had occured. I thought to do someting which can prevent deaths during driving. So it took me a month to build the project which is a prototype of a supersafe car. Checkout the video where I was in PROGRESS OF THE BUILD 1.To prevent the Accidents by being caused by Drinking & Driving. I designed a car which does not start if the person is drunk. So I built this part of the project by using the Arduino UNO MCU board. It uses the ArduMoto Motor driver shield to control the motor and the MQ3 Alcohol sensor to detect whether the person is drunk. We should use a relay instead of a motor driver to control the motors of a REAL CAR. Working :- The MQ3 sensor detects the presence of ALCOHOL. If there is a presence of alcohol in the car the sensor detects it and The MOTORS WON'T MOVE SO THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. 2.To call the ambulance as soon as the accident occured. I designed the sides of a car which will detect the accident and call the ambulance as well as recording with a camera So I built this part with Arduino MCU board with BMP180 sensor and a SIM900A GSM module. Working :- So The BMP180 Sensors on all sides will detect whether the accident had occured. If the accident had occured i.e when the BMP180 detects any pressure the GSM module calls the ambulance and the camera will also be triggered for recorded evidence.

Its a laudable goal preventing drunken driving. Another related problem is people falling asleep, sleep deprivation of drivers on the road. But I would be especially overjoyed if someone could figure out how to prevent the huge number of accidents caused by people using personal electronics while driving, distracting drivers. Statistics that I have seen make me suspect that is a very serious problem. When you get your drivers license, don't fall in the trap of doing it. Simply talking on a cell phone, even with a hands free device increases the likelihood of a serious accident more than 20 times. |

welcome to the forum Hemesh! You will find friends here if you need help with electronics. I am bit sad to inform you that your idea for a car breathalyser lock is not original, in fact there are fully developed products on the market, and have been for a few years now. A google search with "breathalyser ignition lock" reveals: https://alcolock.ca/ https://www.lifesafer.com/devices/what-is-an-interlock/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_interlock_device ... and more Don't feel bad that others also had the same idea, it is a good sign that you are on the right path. Richard Feynman the noble winning physicist described how he discovered mathematical theorems and techniques by himself which were already known to others and that as he progressed he finally reached the point where he was discovering truly original ideas. When I was 6 years old my father gave me a globe and after exploring it for a about month I came up with the notion that the continents drifted and at one time fitted together. I told my older brother this idea and he immediately replied "oh yeah a geophysicist called Alfred Wegener already figured that out". I was crestfallen for a moment and then happy to have confirmation that it wasn't a crazy idea after all. |

FWIW, GM's "OnStar" system can detect a crash and call for assistance. I think you have to pay an annual fee for the service. They know pretty much exactly where you are from GPS and they know if the air bags have deployed. I don't think you need to be conscious. |
