  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the image of the driver who has undergone the alcohol test when boarding the vehicle is compared with the image of the driver who is driving the vehicle, and the person captured in the image is a different person. Since the vehicle's driving behavior is regulated when it is judged, for example, during the alcohol test when riding the vehicle, the passenger took the alcohol test instead of the drunk driver and passed the test Even if impersonation is done after driving with a drunk driver later, it can be confirmed that the driver has changed while driving the vehicle, so the driving operation of the vehicle is regulated to prevent drunk driving be able to.

  According to the second aspect of the invention, the alcohol concentration is re-inspected while the vehicle is running, and even when it is determined that the driver who is on the vehicle and the driver who is driving the vehicle are the same person, When the concentration of alcohol above a specified value is detected, the vehicle's driving behavior is restricted. For example, a driver who has not drunk alcohol during a vehicle inspection should drink while driving. Even in the drunk driving state, it is possible to detect the drunk driving while the vehicle is running and to reliably prevent the drunk driving. It is preferable that alcohol detection can be performed without hindering vehicle running if the alcohol concentration contained in the component of the driver's sweat is detected by a sensor or the like attached to the steering wheel as alcohol detection means. .

  According to the third aspect of the invention, the vehicle speed is reduced to a predetermined speed or less by the travel restricting means, which is advantageous in preventing a serious accident caused by excessive driving or carelessness due to drunk driving. .

  According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the vehicle speed change mechanism is shift-changed to the P range or N range after the vehicle is stopped by the travel restricting means, or the brake is fixed. If the driving operation is restricted so that no more drunk driving is possible by shifting the shift lever to the P range or N range when the vehicle is stopped, or fixing the brake, etc. Can be prevented.

  According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the shift restriction of the vehicle speed change mechanism is prohibited by the travel restricting means. For example, when the vehicle is traveling, the range is fixed and the vehicle is gradually decelerated by the engine brake, If the driving operation is restricted so that no further drunk driving is possible, such as by keeping the shift lever fixed to the P range or N range in the stop state, a serious accident due to drunk driving can be prevented in advance.

  According to the sixth aspect of the invention, even when an alcohol concentration of a predetermined value or higher is detected during an alcohol test performed when the vehicle is boarded, when the outside air temperature around the vehicle is equal to or lower than the predetermined temperature, only the engine is started. To allow. For example, if a driver who is drunk in a cold region or the like wants to take a break in the vehicle, prohibiting the start of the engine is not preferable because heating in the vehicle cannot be performed. Therefore, when the outside air temperature around the vehicle is equal to or lower than a predetermined temperature, only the engine start is permitted to allow heating operation and take measures against cold. Of course, even in this case, it is only allowed to start the engine, and it goes without saying that the traveling operation of the vehicle such as the operation of the accelerator pedal is restricted.

  According to the invention of claim 7, when it is determined by the image determination means that a plurality of persons are included in the image of the driver imaged when the vehicle is boarded, the inspection result by the alcohol detection means is invalidated. The travel operation of the vehicle is restricted. For example, if a passenger who impersonates a drunk driver and has not drunk has undergone an alcohol test, and the drunk driver is imaged together with that passenger, the alcohol test will pass normally. In addition, since the driver is included in the image captured when the vehicle is boarded, the engine may be allowed to start. However, if there are multiple persons in the image, the inspection result is invalidated. By doing so, re-examination is necessary, and drunk driving can be surely prevented.

  According to the eighth aspect of the present invention, the iris information of the driver who has undergone the alcohol test at the time of boarding the vehicle is compared with the iris information of the driver who is driving the vehicle, and the person captured in the image is a different person. When it is determined that the vehicle is present, the traveling operation of the vehicle is regulated, so that highly accurate determination can be performed, and the impersonation of the driver can be prevented more reliably.

  According to the ninth aspect of the invention, since the predetermined warning operation is performed during the restriction of the traveling operation of the vehicle, a buzzer, an alarm or the like is sounded to the driver, or a warning is displayed on the monitor screen. It is possible to warn and alert the driver that he is in a drunk driving state, and to inform the outside that the vehicle is in a drunk driving state, in order to prevent a serious accident caused by drunk driving. Is advantageous.

  According to the invention according to claim 10, since the notification operation is performed to the predetermined engine registered in advance during the regulation of the traveling operation of the vehicle, for example, after confirming that the vehicle is in the drunk driving state, It is possible to notify a predetermined organization (the police, home, etc.) registered in advance by telephone or the like, which is advantageous in preventing a serious accident caused by drunk driving.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the following description of the preferred embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is not intended to limit the present invention, its application, or its use.

  FIG. 1 is a side view showing a configuration of a vehicle equipped with a drunk driving prevention apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the drunk driving prevention apparatus 10 includes an alcohol detection unit 11, an imaging unit 12, and a control unit 25.

  FIG. 2 is a side cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the alcohol detection unit embedded in the handle. As shown in FIG. 2, the alcohol detection unit 11 detects the alcohol concentration contained in the component of sweat collected from the driver while the driver is driving the vehicle W while holding the handle 5. It is composed of elements. The alcohol detector 11 is disposed in a stepped portion 5b formed by partially cutting the handle body 5a into a concave shape, and the surface of the handle body 5a is covered with a handle skin 5c having air permeability. It is buried at an appropriate place.

  And the information of the alcohol concentration detected by the alcohol detection part 11 is transmitted to the drinking determination part 13 which determines a driver | operator's drinking state via the signal line 11a (refer FIG. 3).

  The imaging unit 12 captures an image of the driver's face when the vehicle is in the vehicle and while the vehicle is traveling, and is disposed above the room mirror 6. The image captured by the imaging unit 12 is stored in the storage unit 14.

  As will be described in detail later, the control unit 25 performs various controls such as engine start and speed limitation based on information acquired by the alcohol detection unit 11 and the imaging unit 12.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a system configuration of the drunk driving prevention apparatus for a vehicle according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 3, the memory | storage part 14 memorize | stores the driver | operator's image imaged by the imaging part 12 during the alcohol test | inspection in the alcohol detection part 11 at the time of vehicle riding.

  The image determination unit 15 determines the number of persons included in the driver image stored in the storage unit 14. When the image determination unit 15 determines that a plurality of persons are included in the image of the driver when the vehicle is boarded, the test result by the alcohol detection unit 11 is invalidated.

  The comparison unit 16 compares the driver image stored in the storage unit 14 when the vehicle is boarded with the driver image captured by the imaging unit 12 while the vehicle is traveling. In addition to taking an image of the driver's face by the imaging unit 12 and comparing the images, the driver's iris information is acquired, and the iris information is compared by the comparison unit 16 to be the same person. If it is determined, it becomes possible to perform more accurate determination.

  The control unit 25 is based on the determination result in the drinking determination unit 13, the comparison result in the comparison unit 16, and information from the outside air temperature detection unit 18, the travel regulation unit 17, the engine start unit 19, the alarm unit 20, And the operation of the reporting unit 21. Specifically, if the alcohol concentration is equal to or higher than a predetermined value, it is determined that the driver is in a drinking state, and a start prohibition signal is transmitted to the engine starter 19 so that the engine is not started.

  In addition, even if it is determined that the drinking determination unit 13 is not in the drinking state, if the comparison unit 16 determines that the driver image when riding the vehicle and the driver image while traveling are inconsistent, It is determined that the person who undergoes the alcohol test is impersonated when boarding the vehicle, and a travel restriction signal is transmitted to the travel restriction unit 17.

  Specifically, the travel restriction unit 17 controls the vehicle speed to be reduced below a predetermined speed, shifts the shift lever to the P range or the N range after stopping the vehicle, such as waiting for a signal, or fixes the brake. To control. By restricting the traveling operation in this way, it is possible to prevent a serious accident caused by excessive speed or carelessness due to drunk driving.

  Further, even when the alcohol determination by the alcohol determination unit 13 and the person confirmation by the comparison unit 16 are passed, when the alcohol detection unit 11 re-inspects the alcohol concentration while the vehicle is running, an alcohol concentration of a predetermined value or more is detected. In the case, a travel regulation signal is similarly transmitted to the travel regulation unit 17.

  Here, during the regulation of the vehicle travel operation by the travel regulation unit 17, a control signal is transmitted from the control unit 25 to the alarm unit 20, and a buzzer or an alarm is sounded in the alarm unit 20 or an alarm is displayed on the monitor screen. To alert the driver that he is in a drunk driving state. Furthermore, a control signal is transmitted from the control unit 25 to the reporting unit 21 and reports to a predetermined organization (police, home, etc.) registered in advance in the reporting unit 21 by telephone or the like.

  In this embodiment, the alcohol detection unit 11 is embedded in the handle 5 and the alcohol concentration contained in the component of the driver's sweat is inspected. However, the present invention is not limited to this form. The driver's breath may be collected and the alcohol concentration contained in the breath may be examined.

-Operation procedure of drunk driving prevention device-
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an operation procedure of the drunk driving prevention apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, first, in step S101, a driver's drinking test is performed. Specifically, with the driver sitting in the driver's seat holding the handle 5, the alcohol detector 11 embedded in the handle 5 measures the alcohol concentration contained in the component of the driver's sweat and continues. Proceed to step S102.

  In step S102, the driver data is recorded. Specifically, the image of the driver's face in a state in which the driver sitting in the driver's seat is holding the handle 5 and undergoing a drinking test is captured by the imaging unit 12 to obtain image data, and the subsequent step S103 is performed. move on.

  In step S <b> 103, the image determination unit 15 determines whether there is one person in the image data captured by the imaging unit 12. If the determination in step S103 is “YES”, it is determined that the drinking test has been performed normally, and the process branches to step S104. If the determination in step S103 is “NO”, a plurality of persons are recognized as drivers, and it is impossible to determine which person is the real driver. Therefore, the test result is invalidated, and the process returns to step S101 to drink again. Redo the inspection.

  In step S104, drinking determination is performed. Specifically, the drinking determination unit 13 determines whether the alcohol concentration measured by the alcohol detection unit 11 is equal to or higher than a predetermined value. If the determination in step S104 is “YES”, it is determined that the driver is in a drunk state, and the process branches to step S114. If the determination in step S104 is “NO”, it is determined that the driver may not drive because the driver has not drunk, and the process branches to step S105.

  In step S105, the engine start permission is given, and the process proceeds to the subsequent step S106. In step S106, the shift lever shift permission is given, and the process proceeds to the subsequent step S107. Here, up to step S106 is an operation procedure from when the driver gets into the vehicle to before the engine is started, and after step S107, the drunk state of the driver while driving the vehicle, which is a characteristic part of the present invention, is described. It is the operation | movement procedure for test | inspecting.

  In step S107, after starting the engine, the image of the face of the driver who is driving the vehicle is picked up by the image pickup unit 12, the alcohol concentration is checked again by the alcohol detection unit 11, and the process proceeds to the subsequent step S108.

  In step S108, the comparison unit 16 determines whether or not the driver at the drinking test before starting the engine and the driver imaged while the vehicle is traveling are the same person. If “YES” at step S108, the process branches to step S109. If the determination in step S108 is "NO", it is determined that the driver who has undergone the drinking test after engine startup has been switched, and the process branches to step S110.

  In step S109, the drinking determination unit 13 determines whether or not the alcohol concentration of the driver traveling in the vehicle is greater than or equal to a predetermined value. If the determination in step S109 is “YES”, it is determined that the driver who has not drunk in the inspection before starting the engine has drunk while driving the vehicle, and has entered the drunk driving state. Branch. If the determination in step S109 is “NO”, the driver determines that the driver is not in a drunk driving state, returns to step S107, and again performs a drinking inspection while the vehicle is running. In addition, if the drinking inspection during driving | running | working of a vehicle is performed every predetermined time, since a driver | operator's drinking state can be closely monitored, it is effective.

  In step S110, since the driver is in a drunk driving state, the travel restriction unit 17 performs a speed limiting process by a brake operation or the like to decelerate the vehicle speed, and then proceeds to step S111. In this speed limiting process, the shift lever may be fixed to the 1st or 2nd shift range and decelerated by engine braking.

  In step S111, for example, it is determined whether the vehicle is stopped due to a signal waiting or the like. If “YES” at step S111, the process branches to step S112. If the determination in step S111 is “NO”, the process branches to step S110, and only the speed limiting process is continued.

  In step S112, the shift operation of the stopped vehicle is prohibited, and the process proceeds to subsequent step S113. In step S112, the shift lever is fixed after the shift lever is shifted to the P range or the N range.

  In step S113, a notification is given to a predetermined organization registered in advance in the notification unit 21, for example, the police or home, that the driver is in a drunk driving state, or a buzzer or alarm is issued to the driver in the alarm unit 20. The alarm is displayed on the monitor screen to warn that the person is in the drunk driving state, and the process is terminated.

  Next, the processing after branching to step S114 will be described when it is determined “YES” in the drinking determination of step S104 before starting the engine.

  In step S114, the outside air temperature detector 18 determines whether or not the outside air temperature around the vehicle is within a predetermined temperature range. If the determination in step S114 is “YES”, the process ends. If the determination in step S114 is “NO”, it is determined that the environment is cold, such as in a cold district, and the process branches to the subsequent step S115.

  In step S115, the engine start permission is given, and the process proceeds to the subsequent step S116. In step S116, the brake is turned on, and the process proceeds to subsequent step S117. In step S117, shift change is prohibited and the process ends.

  The processing from step S114 to step S117 is provided for the following reason. For example, if the driver is drunk and the engine is controlled to be prohibited from starting all the time, if you try to take a break in the car until you get sick, you will be in an environment where the outside air temperature is low, such as in cold areas. In addition, the air temperature of the air conditioner cannot be activated and the body temperature of the driver is lowered. Therefore, even if the driver is drunk, by allowing only the engine to start, heating of the air conditioner can be activated, and the driver rests in the vehicle even in an environment where the outside air temperature is low be able to. Of course, since driving is not permitted, the brake is turned on in step S116 and shift change is also prohibited in step S117, so that the vehicle cannot be driven.

  As described above, according to the drunk driving prevention device for a vehicle according to the embodiment of the present invention, an image of a driver who has undergone an alcohol test at the time of boarding the vehicle is compared with an image of a driver who is driving the vehicle. For example, when the person in the image is determined to be a different person, the driving operation of the vehicle is restricted. Even if there is an impersonation such as replacing a driver with a drunk driver after receiving the inspection and passing the inspection, it can be confirmed that the driver has changed while the vehicle is driving, so the driving operation of the vehicle is regulated Thus, drunk driving can be surely prevented.

  In addition, even when it is determined that the driver when the vehicle is on the vehicle and the driver who is traveling the vehicle are the same person, when the alcohol concentration of a predetermined value or more is detected during the re-examination, the vehicle traveling operation is restricted. Therefore, for example, even if a driver who was not drinking at the time of alcohol inspection when riding the vehicle becomes drunk driving state by drinking while driving, the driving operation of the vehicle is regulated and ensured Drunk driving can be prevented. It is preferable that the alcohol detection unit 11 attached to the handle 5 detect the alcohol concentration contained in the component of the driver's sweat because the alcohol test can be performed without hindering the vehicle running. .

  Furthermore, even if an alcohol concentration of a predetermined value or higher is detected during an alcohol test performed when the vehicle is boarded, only the engine start is permitted when the outside air temperature around the vehicle is lower than the predetermined temperature. For example, if a driver who is drunk in a cold region or the like wants to take a break in the vehicle, prohibiting the start of the engine is not preferable because heating in the vehicle cannot be performed. In view of this, when the outside air temperature around the vehicle is equal to or lower than a predetermined temperature, the countermeasure against the cold is taken so that the heating operation can be performed only by starting the engine.

  As described above, the present invention can prevent impersonation of a person who undergoes an alcohol test when getting on the vehicle, and can obtain a highly practical effect of being able to prevent drunk driving more reliably. It is useful and has high industrial applicability.
