By professional studies and supported by MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving), by just installing Ignition Interlock System on just individuals who have previously convicted of Driving Under Influence, we can decrease the drunk driving fatality rate by over 64%. Imagine a system that is developed can deliver a different message to the general public and make it acceptable to them. Different perceptions of the ignition interlock system, a standard of public safety at the same time without taking away the beauty of one’s vehicle interior. As a result we will design our Voog Breathalyzer Ignition Interlock System to be a wireless unit. Voog will be consisting of a handheld unit and a control box. With no wires attached to the handheld unit, user can easily storage it in their glove compartment of the vehicle or take it with them in their bags or purses to use it as a standalone unit at various social functions. The control box unit will be serving as a communication hub between the hand unit and the vehicle’s internal relay. The control box will also be hidden behind the vehicle’s dashboard, this way we can eliminate the unnecessary wires and can make significantly more appealing to the general public.

Accuracy of the breath-analyzing unit to detect alcohol content in the blood will be core of the entire design. It is understood that no matter how many features our unit possess and how appeal it might be, with it being under the acceptable accuracy level, not a single person will adopt it voluntarily or involuntarily. In order to achieve the desirable level accuracy, we will explore all option of sensor choices ranging from traditional semi-conductor sensor to intuitive design of multiple sensor designs and to the highest industry standard, fuel cell sensors.

Without doubt, ultimately cost will determine if auto manufacturers and the federal government would want to adopt these systems. We have kept cost in mind throughout our entire design process, from adopting the existing mouthpieces available in the market to achieve a lower cost than reconstructing our unique mouthpieces at a higher cost to exploring the option of utilizing multi semi conductor sensors instead of the much higher cost fuel cell sensors.

With all our goals and objective in mind, we are motivated to develop a competitive and functional Breathalyzer Ignition Interlock System that we are sure will make a difference in saving lives and preventing drunk driving.
