Abstract
The invention relates to a distributed system (1; 11; 21) for access control and sobriety testing comprising an authorization control and sobriety testing station (2; 12; 22; 32), which obtains authorization data and a bodily signature sample from an individual seeking access, a central control unit (3; 13; 23; 33), which, if there is a positive verification of the authorization data and no detection of alcohol in the bodily signature sample, issues temporary authorization information, and at least one access control unit (4; 14; 24), which obtains the temporary authorization information and, upon a positive verification of the temporary authorization information, grants access to the individual who is seeking such access.

A distributed system for access control and sobriety testing, comprising a central control unit, in which general authorization information is stored, an authorization control and sobriety testing station, and at least one access control unit, wherein
- the authorization control and sobriety testing station is configured to obtain authorization data provided by an individual seeking access and to send the authorization data to the central control unit,
- the authorization control and sobriety testing station is configured to analyse a bodily signature sample provided by the individual seeking access and to detect the presence of alcohol in the bodily signature sample, and to send the result to the central control unit,
- the central control unit is configured to issue temporary authorization information based on a positive match between the general authorization information and the authorization data provided by the individual seeking authorization and no detection of alcohol, and
- the at least one access control unit is configured to obtain the temporary authorization information and to verify the validity of the temporary authorization information, and to, based on a positive verification, grant access to the individual seeking access.

- store general authorization information in a central control unit;
- obtain authorization data from an individual seeking access by an authorization control and sobriety testing station;
- send the authorization data from the authorization control and sobriety testing station to the central control unit;
- obtain a bodily signature sample from the individual seeking access by the authorization control and sobriety testing station;
- analyse the bodily signature sample in the authorization control and sobriety testing station for detecting the presence of alcohol in the bodily signature sample;
- send the result of the analysis from the authorization control and sobriety testing station to the central control unit;
- issue temporary authorization information by the central control unit if there is a positive match between the general authorization information and the authorization data and no detection of alcohol;
- obtain the temporary authorization information by at least one access control unit;
- verify the validity of the temporary authorization information by the at least one access control unit;
