 Aim:
The main purpose behind this project is “Drunken
driving detection”. Now-a-days, many accidents are
happening because of the alcohol consumption of the
driver. Thus drunk driving is a major reason of
accidents in almost all countries all over the world.
Introduction to Embedded systems:
 An embedded system is one that has computer-hardware with
software embedded in it as one of its most important component. It is
a dedicated computer-based system for an application(s) or product.
 An embedded system has three main components.
1. It has hardware
2. It has main application software.
3. It has a real time operating system (RTOS)
 An embedded system has software designed to keep in view three
constraints:

(i)Available system memory.

(ii)Available processor speed.
(iii)The need to limit power dissipation when running the system
continuously.
 Introduction to Microcontroller based
automatic engine locking system for drunken
drivers
 Most of these days, we hear lot of accidents due to drunken driving.
Drunken drivers will not be in stable condition and so the rash driving is
the inconvenience for other road users and also question of life and death
for the drunken driver and for others.
 The system uses a compact circuitry built around Flash version of
AT89S52 microcontroller with a non-volatile memory capable of
retaining the password data for over ten years. Programs are developed in
embedded C. ISP is used to dump the code into the microcontroller.

Power supply:

 The above process is needed for the conversion of AC to

DC using rectifier and then ripples are removed using
filter circuit(capacitor).
 Here we use 7805 voltage regulator.

 Alcohol detection sensor:
 The alcohol detection sensor used in our project is MQ-3 sensor.

 Buzzer driver circuit:
 Microcontroller pins are not sufficient to drive circuits like relays and buzzers.
 So we use driver circuit in between microcontroller and buzzer.
 This complete structure is known as buzzer driver circuit.

 LCD:

LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen

is an electronic display module and find
a wide range of applications. A 16x2
LCD display is very basic module and
is very commonly used in various
devices and circuits. A 16x2 LCD
means it can display 16 characters per
 Motors:
 Here we use DC motors.
 The speed of a DC motor is directly proportional to the supply voltage.
 If we reduce the supply voltage from 12 Volts to 6 Volts, the motor will run at
half the speed.
 LM324 op-amp:
 The LM324 series are low-cost, quad op-amps with true differential inputs.
 They have several distinct advantages over standard operational amplifiers.
 Single Supply Operation: 3.0 V to 32 V (LM224, LM324, LM324A).
 Low Input Bias Currents: 100 nA Maximum (LM324A).
 Four Amplifiers Per Package.

 Future enhancement:
 We can implement GSM technology to inform the relatives or
owners of the vehicle about the alcohol consumption.
 We can implement GPS technology to find out the location
of the vehicle.
