Project Title: Alcohol Detection and Prevention System for Vehicles Using Arduino and MQ2

Sensor Objective:To design and implement an alcohol detection system using Arduino and
the MQ2 gas sensor to prevent drunk driving by detecting the presence of alcohol in a
drivers breath and stopping the vehicle from starting if alcohol is detected.---
Introduction:Drunk driving is a leading cause of road accidents globally resulting in injuries
fatalities and damage to property. Current methods to prevent drunk driving rely on law
enforcement or voluntary breathalyzer tests which are not always effective in real-time.
This project proposes an alcohol detection and prevention system that uses an MQ2
sensor and Arduino to automatically check for alcohol levels in a drivers breath before
starting the vehicle. If alcohol is detected the system will disable the vehicle ignition
preventing the driver from operating the vehicle while intoxicated.--- Innovation:The
innovation of this project lies in integrating an affordable and automated alcohol detection
system into vehicles. The system uses an MQ2 gas sensor to continuously monitor the
drivers breath for traces of alcohol. The use of Arduino makes the system customizable
flexible and easily implementable in any vehicle. By preventing the vehicle from starting the
system can actively reduce the number of accidents caused by drunk driving.---
Components:1. Arduino UNO: The microcontroller that processes the data from the MQ2
sensor and controls the relay module for vehicle ignition.2. MQ2 Alcohol Sensor: Detects
the presence of alcohol in the drivers breath and sends an analog signal to the Arduino
based on the alcohol concentration.3. Relay Module: Controls the vehicle ignition system
by cutting off or enabling the engine power based on the alcohol sensor reading.4. Buzzer:
Alerts the driver if alcohol is detected indicating that the vehicle will not start.5. LCD
Display 16x2: Displays the status of the alcohol level and whether the vehicle can start or
not.6. 12V Battery: Powers the Arduino and other components.7. Wiring and Connectors:
For interfacing all the components.--- Design and Working:The alcohol detection system is
designed to be installed in the dashboard or near the driver's seat to effectively monitor the
drivers breath. When the driver attempts to start the vehicle the MQ2 sensor checks for the
presence of alcohol in the air.- If no alcohol is detected the Arduino sends a signal to the
relay module to allow the ignition to start and the vehicle operates normally.- If alcohol is
detected the Arduino triggers the relay to disconnect the ignition circuit preventing the
engine from starting. Simultaneously
