ABSTRACT
The alcohol detection system is designed for applications in traffic safety, workplace
environments, and public spaces to prevent alcohol-impaired individuals from engaging in
risky activities. The Arduino platform ensures flexibility, ease of integration, and adaptability
to various scenarios.
Experimental validation has been conducted to assess the system's accuracy and response
time. The results demonstrate the system's capability to reliably detect alcohol levels,
providing timely warnings when necessary. The system exhibits low power consumption,
making it suitable for portable and long-term deployment.
The proposed Arduino-based alcohol detection system presents an affordable, accessible, and
scalable solution to address the pervasive issue of alcohol-related incidents. Future
enhancements may explore additional features, such as wireless connectivity for real-time
monitoring and centralized control. Deploying this system holds significant promise in
reducing the risks associated with alcohol impairment and promoting a safer environment for
individuals and the community at large.
Alcohol Detection System

INTRODUCTION
Alcohol impairment significantly compromises an individual's ability to operate vehicles or

machinery safely. Traditional methods of alcohol detection, such as breathalyzers, have been
employed primarily in law enforcement scenarios. However, integrating alcohol detection technology
into broader applications, such as vehicle safety systems and workplace environments, holds the
potential to proactively address the risks associated with alcohol consumption.
SCOPE OF PROJECT
 Cost-Effective Alcohol detection

 Effective Cost.
 Real time Alcohol detection.
SYSTEM SPECIFICATION
Ardiuno Uno
 Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and

software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light on a sensor, a finger on a button,
or a Twitter message - and turn it into an output - activating a motor, turning on an LED,
publishing something online. You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of
instructions to the microcontroller on the board. To do so you use the Arduino
programming language (based on Wiring), and the Arduino Software (IDE), based on
Processing.
IC: Microchip ATmega328P (8-bit AVR core)
Clock Speed: 16 MHz on Uno board, though IC is capable of 20 MHz maximum at 5 Volts.
Flash Memory: 32 KB, of which 0.5 KB used by the bootloader.
SRAM: 2 KB.
EEPROM: 1 KB.
MQ-3 Sensor:
The MQ-3 is a popular gas sensor that is commonly used for detecting alcohol, ethanol, and
other combustible gases. Here are the typical specifications for the MQ-3 gas sensor:
1. Operating Voltage:
 The operating voltage range for the MQ-3 sensor is commonly between 4.0V and
5.5V.
2. Heater Voltage:
 The sensor usually requires a heater voltage, and this is typically around 5V.
3. Heater Resistance:
 The heater resistance is an important parameter for the sensor. It is the resistance of
the internal heater element, which is used to heat the sensing element. The typical
heater resistance for the MQ-3 is around 31Ω ± 3Ω at room temperature.
4. Sensitivity:
 Sensitivity is the change in resistance of the sensor for a unit change in gas
concentration. For the MQ-3, sensitivity is specified for various gases such as LPG,
propane, methane, alcohol, and smoke.
5. Response Time:
 The response time is the time it takes for the sensor to react to changes in gas
concentration. The response time for the MQ-3 is usually in the range of a few
seconds.
Buzzer-:
A buzzer or beeper is an audio signaling device, which may be mechanical, electromechanical, or
piezoelectric (piezo for short). Typical uses of buzzers and beepers include alarm devices, timers,
train and confirmation of user input such as a mouse click or keystroke.
The piezo, also known as the buzzer, is a component that is used for generating sound. It is a digital
component that can be connected to digital outputs, and emits a tone when the output is HIGH.
Alternatively, it can be connected to an analog pulse-width modulation output to generate various
tones and effects.

The block diagram of an Arduino-based Alcohol Detection System illustrates a
comprehensive approach to detecting alcohol levels efficiently and promptly. At the core of
the system is the MQ-3 Alcohol Sensor, a key component designed to detect alcohol vapors
in the air. This sensor is connected to an Arduino microcontroller, which serves as the central
processing unit. The Arduino processes the analog signals from the MQ-3 sensor and
executes a sophisticated data processing algorithm to determine the alcohol concentration
levels.
