Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system capable of monitoring the state of intoxication of 4-wheel motor vehicle drivers, to prevent the risks associated with driving such vehicles, as well as a vehicle equipped with means to perform such prevention and control . It is known that vehicles on the road today are equipped with generally electronic, sometimes extremely sophisticated systems capable of monitoring the regular functioning of all vehicle components. These control systems are generally passive, consisting of devices capable of detecting a possible fault and of signalling it to the driver, who must then act in order to remove the fault .
  • the driver may deceit the breathalyser by directing air onto the breathalyser air inlets which comes from, for example, a small pressurised air tank, bellows, or a balloon, or by spraying perfume or solvents onto the air inlets; or the driver may breathe with his face temporarily facing the rear of the passenger compartment, so that his breath does not reach the air inlets;
  • ambient air inside the vehicle may contain alcohol vapours due to intoxicated passengers, which would cause the vehicle to interlock despite the driver being the only sober person in the car (which represents an obvious, incorrect, and excessive intervention) ;
  • an on-off weight sensor is suggested (used, among other things, on the driver's seat only and only to detect the driver's presence exclusively in order to trigger the automatic drawing of air from the passenger compartment) following points are not being considered: -
  • the driver may deceit such detector by asking a sober person to sit in the driver's seat to take the breath test and then, at
  • the main object of the present invention is to suggest means and a system employing the same that are ca- pable of monitoring the driver's state of intoxication in a way that is not excessively penalising, but mainly in a deceit-proof way.
  • This aim is achieved through a monitoring system and through a vehicle displaying the essential features detailed in claims 1 and 12, which highlight how the driver is subject to control in a mandatory and deceit-proof procedure .
  • FIG. 1 and 2 are diagrammatic views (plan view and vertical section) of a vehicle equipped with safety control means according to the invention;
  • FIG. 3 and 3a show, in a comprehensive view and in detail, the dashboard of a vehicle equipped with the detection means accessible to the driver according to the invention;
  • FIG. 4-8 are block diagrams of the electronic control unit (ECU) and of the components connected thereto.
  • the safety test constituting the essential object of the invention is a test of the driver's "fitness to drive", in particular of the driver's state of "sobriety or intoxication” ; this type of test has already been dealt with extensively by prior patent literature - as mentioned in the in- troduction of the present description - but with hardly any practical results.
  • the present invention provides that the vehicle is equipped with a variety of sensors and with an electronic data control and storage unit, which receives and processes the signals coming from such sensors and which interacts with the driver to "force" him to co-operate with the test without deceiving. In this way, a signal allowing or inhibiting the starting of the vehicle engine, or limiting maximum driving speed may be issued at the end, according to process results.
  • a vehicle V comprises an electronic data processing unit (a small on-board computer) , identified by CI in fig. 1, to which various sensors and actuators are connected.

These sensors detect the exact, actual weight acting on the seat; in particular, the weight acting on the driver's seat will be used for the exact calculation of his blood alcohol level, too (its value, as is known, varies according to the body weight of the tested individual) . The detected weight value will then be fed to the central unit CI and stored in a suitable database.
  • central unit CI is capable of calculating the actual weight thanks to stored parameters on the basis of the weight detected by the sensor. If necessary, it can store the actual weight for the functions better described in the following paragraph.

  • the alcohol breath test device is triggered as soon as the ignition key is inserted, and it switches off (or rather, it stays in stand-by/lowest consumption position) when test performance is completed.
  • Such device can interact with the driver by means of, on the one hand, display P8 and loudspeaker P3 , in order to in- struct the driver about the operations to carry out, and on the other hand, alphanumeric keyboard PI, microphone P2 and the series of function keys P5 and Pll in order to receive answers .
  • the first step consists in typing on a keyboard a secret code exclusive to the driver, which matches an identical code directly stored inside the device, for example in a suitable chip.
  • secret code which may also be entered by an electronic card through a suitable reader linked to central unit CI (not shown in the drawings)- may be associated with different safety levels; meaning that a) it represents above all a kind of alarm, as failure to enter the code or entering of an erroneous code will prevent the engine from getting started; b) it allows for different authorisation levels; young drivers, for example, may have limitations imposed on their driving that do not apply to adults; c) similarly, a driver who has shown correct driving behaviour throughout a long period of time may even - within certain limits and, for example, during certain times of the day - not be subjected to the alcohol breath test.
  • the driver is later invited, by means of a voice announcement through loudspeaker P3, to take the breathalyser test, for which he needs first of all : al) to sit in the driver's seat a2) to ensure that vehicle doors and windows are shut a3) to ensure he is the only occupant of the passenger compartment a4) to ensure that the vehicle is in a stationary position and the engine running a5) to place his hands on push-buttons P6 and P7, at a suitable distance from each other a6) to place his feet on two of the clutch, brake or gas pedals .
  • central unit CI also checks that: a7) the alcohol detecting device is "protected" in a compartment closed by a suitable cover P10.
  • central unit CI order the launch of the breatha- lyser test by opening safety cover P10, allowing access to said alcohol detecting apparatus P4 , and inviting the driver to blow directly into the nozzle of said device.
  • condition al means that the driver's seat itself must already be in the correct position which is to be maintained throughout the journey, and into which it must be brought again by moving the seat backwards or forwards before launching the breathalyser test .
  • the driver's seat is not to be moved backwards or forwards again (control by movement sensors 7) , as mentioned earlier, because that too may be interpreted as the test being carried out by a sober person sitting in front of or in the lap of the driver.
  • condition al is carried out not only on a stationary vehicle, but in a cyclical manner, even after passing the breathalyser test, for example every 3 or 4 seconds, at least as long as the vehicle speed is below a relatively low limit, for example below 30-40 Km/h; as a matter of fact, up to this speed a deception attempt as described above may always be possible.
  • Conditions a2) and a3) i.e. closed doors and closed win- dows and no other passenger on board except for the driver - are meant to avoid that the alcohol breath test may be distorted by actions of sober individuals from outside.
  • the most immediate and obvious may be:
  • Possible actions of deception in this case may be: - alcohol breath test carried out by the driver, but using his hands to blow into nozzle P4, for example with the aid of a compressed air bomb or an air-filled balloon, a bicycle cylinder pump, a bellow pump for rubber dinghies or similar, instead of exhaling his own breath; - alcohol breath test carried out by the driver after having used his hands to spray nozzle P4 with solvents or heavily scented substances from aerosol bombs.
  • Condition a4) together with condition a6) - is meant to prevent the driver from using his feet or knees (rather than his hands) to falsify the test in the way described earlier, and more precisely, to operate a blowing pump or other device.
  • central unit CI can simply authorise or not the starting of the engine; alternatively, intermediate solutions may be considered (all signalled by a voice message) according to the value of blood alcohol content, namely: a) the driver is "sober" (blood alcohol content below 0,4, for example) , so the engine can be started normally without any speed limitation; b) the driver is "euphoric" (blood alcohol level between 0,4 and 0,5, for example); in this case the device will automatically limit the maximum speed of the vehicle - according to predetermined parameters and possibly taking into consideration the current time -, for example acting directly on fuel flow adjustment, or on the usual vehicle speed control unit; c) the driver is "inebriated” (alcohol blood level between 0,5 and 0,6, for example); the driver is alerted by a voice message that his blood alcohol level is above the legal limit and that therefore driving in that condition is against the law; starting the engine is inhibited: central unit CI enters waiting mode
  • the central unit automatically transmits a pre-recorded message (over the mobile phone integrated in the device) to the driver's relatives informing them of the driver's state and of his "exact location” (located, for example, by means of a global positioning system, GPS) .
  • the invention provides that, while performing a breath alcohol test, the following conditions are complied with: al) the driver must be duly seated in the driver's seat - this condition is essential to prevent the easy substitution of drivers having performed the breath alcohol test. This condition is verified by the already mentioned "weight- measuring sensors” integrated in the driver's seat, as well as by a “movement sensor” located on the driver's seat guide rail. In order to make deception attempts impossible, it is therefore essential that during and after the test the weight detected on the driver's seat does not vary substantially. Also, the driver's seat must not be moved backwards or forwards, in order to prevent two people from being in the driv- ing area at the same time while the test is being performed.
  • This condition is verified by two types of “presence sensors”, namely: “weight-measuring sensors” integrated in each of the vehicle seats, which are capable of detecting the driver's and passengers' weight, and “movement sensors”, such as “photo-electric sensors” for example, which detect the presence of any passengers, whether they are seated or not. Or, even better, by a combination of these two types of sensors ; a4) the vehicle must be stationary - this condition is essential, as the test must be performed before the driver can move the vehicle.
  • This condition is verified by a "movement sensor” , associated for example with the vehicle movement transmission and/or with the fuel flow and/or with the elec- trical system. The sensor only needs to be capable of transmitting an on/off signal, i.e.
  • the driver's hands must be engaged at a suitable distance from each other. This condition is essential to prevent the driver from interfering with the blood alcohol test using his hands. This condition is verified by "pressure sensors" (or push-buttons) that the driver must depress separately with both hands; they are located at such a distance from each other to make it impossible for them to be operated with one hand only. In this case, too, the sensor only needs to be capable of transmitting a simple depressed/non depressed signal ; a6) the driver's feet must be engaged - this condition is essential to prevent the driver from falsifying test results as described above, using his feet and/or knees, instead of his hands.
  • the electronic data processing unit verifies that all conditions described at the points al-a6 are satisfied.
  • a negative verification result triggers voice messages inviting the driver to repeat the blood alcohol test procedures (alternatively interlocking the vehicle) .
  • a positive verification result prompts the central unit to order the opening of the alcohol sensor protective cover (point a7) .
  • the driver Upon invita- tion, the driver must exhale deep lung alveolar air from his respiratory system into the inlet nozzle of the alcohol sensor. If the test apparatus detects normal levels of blood alcohol, it issues a consent signal, which is later processed by the electronic unit as authorisation to the starting and regular running of the vehicle. Otherwise, the vehicle will be blocked or, in the case of a blood alcohol level only just above the legal limit, starting of the engine and running of the vehicle will be allowed but with a drastic limitation of its maximum possible speed.
