Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety Field Operational Test (DADSS-FOT)

The DADSS-FOT will examine the operation of the DADSS system in test cars to verify that the DADSS breath- and touch-based sensors record data from test participants accurately and reliably. The study will also examine test participants in their physical position in their seats by recording video data. The study requires physical verification of the participant’s three-dimensional (3-D) position in the space so that position may be correlated with sensor data from the breath-based sensors as well as height and weight data collected from the demographic interview. Video verification is also required to correlate touch-based sensor interaction with the data collected from those sensors in the event that there are data artifacts and/or anomalies. Information regarding participant occupation is collected because occupation can be correlated with skin thickness on the fingers, a variable known to affect the performance of the touch-based prototype sensors. Information regarding gender and Body Mass Index (BMI) (a ratio of height to weight) is also collected because BAC varies by these factors. Participation in the DADSS-FOT is completely voluntary. These individuals’ job for the length of their participation in this study will be to drive or ride in the DADSS-FOT test vehicles. The report will serve as a basis for further refinement of the DADSS Performance Specifications.
