Abstract: The Automatic Engine Locking System for Drunken Drivers is an embedded safety solution designed to prevent vehicle operation under the influence of alcohol. The system utilizes an alcohol detection sensor integrated with a microcontroller to continuously monitor the driver’s breath alcohol concentration in real time. When the detected alcohol level exceeds a predefined safety threshold, the system automatically disables the vehicle ignition through a relay-based engine locking mechanism, thereby preventing the engine from starting or running. Additionally, the invention may incorporate GSM and GPS modules to send alert notifications and provide vehicle location tracking for emergency response. The system offers a cost-effective, reliable, and scalable approach for enhancing road safety, reducing accidents caused by drunk driving, and supporting the development of intelligent transportation safety technologies. Its simple installation and automated operation make it suitable for personal, commercial, and industrial vehicle applications.
