On freight roads, safety is the primary consideration. With the continuous growth of road freight volume (increasing by 9.1% in recent years), preventing drunk driving has become an issue that cannot be ignored. To significantly enhance road traffic safety, in the future, key vehicle types such as trucks will promote the installation of various safety equipment. One important measure is the popularization of installing alcohol lock devices as an effective way to prevent drunk driving and ensure that drivers are always in a suitable driving state. As a world-leading provider of gas sensing technology, Senseair of Sweden has specialized in infrared gas detection technology for over 30 years. Its developed Safe Start alcohol detection system is easy to operate and highly accurate, capable of accessing fleet-wide information for convenient real-time monitoring. It also supports integration into the company's existing systems for alcohol detection, adapting to alcohol testing in different scenarios, saving time and improving efficiency for drivers and businesses.

Developed in collaboration with the US DADSS for precise alcohol detection

To eliminate drunk driving, new EU regulations require all new and existing vehicles to be equipped with alcohol detectors by 2024, highlighting the importance of alcohol detection accuracy. Senseair's alcohol detection products leverage sensor technology developed in collaboration with the Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety (DADSS) in the US. This technology is rooted in cutting-edge research by leading automakers and the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA), aiming to revolutionize alcohol monitoring and instantly detect whether a driver is under the influence of alcohol. The sensor is designed to precisely measure a driver's blood alcohol concentration (BAC), immediately preventing vehicle start-up if it detects levels exceeding legal limits. This technology also offers speed, accuracy, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.

Notably, the Senseair Safe Start safety system can be customized according to national laws, regulations, and measures. Its accuracy is on par with alcohol locks that have undergone rigorous functional testing in compliance with the CENELEC 50436-2 standard, ensuring high precision and compliance.

35 years of NDIR experience, stable operation even in harsh environments

The demanding long-distance highway environment places stringent requirements on alcohol detectors installed in trucks. Leveraging 35 years of experience in Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) technology, Senseair's alcohol detector ensures measurement accuracy based on gas absorption theory.

To achieve more accurate test results, Senseair's prototype uses advanced breath simulators that mimic humidity. Extensive human testing and in-car driving tests are conducted in hospitals, ensuring the authenticity and reliability of experimental data. Additionally, Senseair has collaborated with leading OEM manufacturers for over 25 years, ensuring high precision throughout the sensor manufacturing process and calibration that aligns with real-world conditions.

Besides high accuracy, NDIR technology offers the following advantages:

Strong anti-interference ability: By using two channels with different wavelengths, errors caused by environmental factors such as dust or radiation intensity attenuation are eliminated, reducing environmental interference and maintaining accurate test results.

Good stability: High-precision filters and dual-wavelength technology, combined with a short optical path gas cell and data acquisition system, enable real-time gas measurement with excellent stability.

Strong environmental adaptability: Can be used normally in hypoxic environments, adopts intelligent temperature compensation, and operates stably within a temperature range of -40~70℃.

Low maintenance requirements: High long-term stability and reliability, long calibration cycles, and low maintenance costs.
