Abstract
Disclosed is a system and method for determining a driver's inebriation in a vehicle. The system includes a breathalyzer configured to be provided in an interior space of the vehicle to determine whether the driver is inebriated, through a driver's exhalation; and a controller configured to output a movement request signal for a driver's seat when determination of driver's inebriation by the breathalyzer is required and to control the breathalyzer to start the determination of driver's inebriation when the movement of the driver's seat is completed.
Claims20
A system for determining a driver's inebriation in a vehicle, comprising:
- a breathalyzer positioned at a vehicle and configured to determine a driver's inebriation based on the driver's exhalation;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- assess whether a determination of the driver's inebriation is required;
- in response to assessing that the determination of the driver's inebriation is required, output a movement request signal configured to cause a driver's seat in the vehicle to be moved;
- and
- upon determining that the driver's seat has been moved in response to the movement request signal, control the breathalyzer to start the determination of the driver's inebriation.
A method for determining a driver's inebriation, comprising:
- assessing whether a determination of a first driver's inebriation is required;
- in response to assessing that the determination of the first driver's inebriation is required, calculating a movement position of a driver's seat in a vehicle;
- moving the driver's seat to the calculated movement position;
- and
- in response to detecting that the driver's seat has moved to the calculated movement position, determining, using a breathalyzer, the first driver's inebriation based on first driver inhalation.
